I had two chicks that couldn't walk and were really weak and just slept a lot, I nursed them round the clock for a few days, unfortunately they didnt survive I hope yours make it!!

I know it sucks when you spend so much time on them and they don't make it. I've had it happen to several with this secret. Thanks for the encouragement and I'm sorry for your losses

Aw Im sorry. What a hard time youve had through all this. Hope youre able to enjoy the colorful bunch of survivors. Did the tsc pasty butt make it?

Yes the little TSC chick is doing well. She sticks out like a sore thumb in the brooder though because she is the smallest and she doesn't have a single feather or bit of fuzz on her backside. I've been cleaning the area with warm water and putting neosporin on it because they're were a couple small bloody areas. As of now the totals are 23 dead out of 33 shipped

One more dead and another is dying. Gasping for air and having convulsions
