Loosing chicks, need help

[Tashaf]

Do they have good air circulation and any sunlight?

Do you think maybe they are not getting enough sunlight? The central air is right next to the brooder and it sucks air right past the brooder.

They may need more natural light, I don't use the red heat bulbs, so don't know if that could be an issue, I use 75 way light bulbs, incandescent.
I'm not sure what else it could be. Maybe @CapricornFarm farm can help or at least tagg someone who can.

Thanks.

That could be it...Is there another room you could move the to where they'll get more natural light? Not direct sunlight, or they will overheat.

Your welcome, hope you find the problem and it's an easy fix.

is the humidity high in the laundry room? maybe it is a mold issue? Rather than put medicated water, maybe try using medicated feed. How often do you change the water?

Set up looks good to me except I just dont like those waterer types . You should disinfect between batches . I use a weak bleach solution and rinse well. I also would try giving sick chick corrid straight to the mouth. Is Corrid what you are using for cocci ? What dose ?

Change the water daily and it's not humid at all in the laundry room. Plenty of ventilation.

also might change wood chips to that griper shelf liner just to make sure there not eating the chips instead of the wood or put some paper towels over them.

I did use bleach water and rinsed good and dried the waterer before this batch. Yes I use corid. Are you talking about give corid to the mouth straight? Not diluted in water?
