I guess it would not hurt to try it... LOL!
Why are your babies dying? How old are they and do you have them under warm lights? They need 95 degrees until they start feathering out and you can drop it 5 degrees per week until they get fully feathered. Are they on medicated feed to prevent cocci? One of the reasons chicks die can be due to cocci which is a protozoa parasite. You could try putting them on corid. I put a few ml in a quart of water. I raise mine either on a wire cage so the poop can go through or you can use pine shavings and change them every day.
I was thinking the sameOh no...is this thread dieing
We gotta get more people in here!! I thought for sure that their are more people with Lav Oprs!!
No problem! Do you know why the chicks died? And the ones that are taking more time to grow might be runts or they could possibly be roosters! Roosters take a little bit more time to feather out.
Not a clue why the others died. They died on different days and always the day before they would just sit all humped up. No raspy sounds or poo on the butt. They were not growing and just slept a lot. The survivors are running around and acting just fine. I called the lady that I got them from but she has not responded to my calls.
Yeah, I think this could be from poor breeding or something... Their parents must of had to have something, like a disease and it passed down to the egg.... Did you get to see the parent birds? Were they living in poor conditions?
