New chick mama!

[HelenOster]

We have 2 Sussex, 2 Marantz, 2 New Hampshire, 1 Plymouth Rock
Sadly one Plymouth Rock died last night.
I found BYC last night while searching the Internet to find clues as to what I might be doing wrong to have caused one of my chicks to die. My husband said he'd done loads of research beforehand, but really he doesn't seem to know anything!

We have 5 cats an aquarium, 3 ponds - and a resident frog.
I love gardening - we grow as much of our food as I can manage

I recently retrained to become a medical pedicurist, & my husband is retraining to become a tour guide

Welcome! How old were your chicks? Day old chicks can be very fragile.

5 days. There aren't a lot of options where we live. I now know that we should have gone to a place where they only sell them at 2 weeks, & fully vaccinated.
