Where are you located in the world?

What do you feed the chicks and how are they housed? Photos of their poop may be helpful.

Can you tell if their crops are emptying overnight?
Where did the eggs come from?

I'm sorry you are losing a lot of chicks. If you lose another, it may be worth keeping the body and sending it to your state lab for diagnostics so you can get on top of this. https://www.metzerfarms.com/PoultryLabs.cfm?affiliate=undef
