Got 12 Chicks ( American Bresse ) and they’re less than 1 week old. Lost one the second day. Found it in the morning and it’s beak and eyes were all necrotic. I thought it was faster decay since the temps were hot. Took it out as soon and disposed of it as I found it in the morning.

Today I found 3 more still alive with necrosis on upper beaks. I took them out and culled them out and added doxycycline to the waterer. Put rest of chicks in amprolium feed as well. Ordered metronidazole tablets just now. Any experieced ideas or help appreciated!

Rest of adult flock placed on doxy as well.
 
I have never seen, or heard of that. Pictures may help. Fowl pox comes to mind though. How are they doing?
