Hi there,
We recently got 7 chicks and 4 have died now, one by one. They act normal and then slowly get more lethargic. Their poop is brown, runny and smelly. They don’t want to use their legs. Then they will die. This is my first time with chicks and I’m so upset. We have a thermometer and keep the temp constant, change water twice a day and add probiotics and electrolytes, clean their brooder once a day. The lady I got them from said they are vaccinated for meraks. Any advice would be a appreciated. I’m desperate and chick #5 just started her diarrhea.
