Congrats on your new flock! If you're having a health issue with them, post about it in detail (and pictures) here: Emergencies / Diseases / Injuries and Cures

Best wishes!

Welcome to BYC, shortcake1! There is so much to see, do, and learn here!So sorry your Easter Eggers are not doing well. I hope you find the information you need to help them!

Welcome to BYC! I'm sorry your chicks are ill. Please make a post on the Emergency section as @N F C suggested. Chicks can literally die within a few hours of developing signs of illness.
In your post put a photo of the chicks and their poo. List age, symptoms and onset of symptoms, feed brand, and anything else you feel may be relevant.
Good luck!

Welcome to BYC. When I was a little girl my father used to call me "Shortstop," better than "shrimp!" I'm still short - think he jinxed me. I was probably meant to be at least
5"1"
