Hello and welcome to BYC!

Oh I am so sorry you lost the little one. Sometimes not all of them make it to adulthood. Enjoy the rest of your babies! If you have any questions about them along the way, be sure to ask. Welcome to our community!

So sorry. We get so attached to them fast and it's hard. Sometimes it's just a failure to thrive with no reason we'd ever know.

So sorry you lost the little one. They are so precious and can be so frustrating to lose them at any age.

They just seem so tiny and helpless! I ran to TSC this morning and picked up some of the stuff people mentioned. My remaining girls are now drinking hydro-hen. Not sure if I should add any of the rooster booster or corid I got as well

With vitamins and probiotics for the little ones, I do a three day rotation with each one of those two getting one day, and fresh water gets a day.

The Corid I wouldn't bother with unless you have ANY inkling whatsoever that one of them starts acting the same way. It's a little odd for just one chick to get it as usually they all do.

Ok, so I will switch it out every other day with fresh water and hopefully that prevents more. I'm seeing a bit of diarrhea, no blood thankfully, but I think that could be from anything. I'm still learning what normal healthy chick poop even looks like!

Lost her during the night! the other 5 are still doing well I think. Still going to get all the things from TSC. Thanks everyone again

I’m so sorry It’s hard losing them so young. May your other 5 be happy and healthy.
