What type of light bulb are you using Othman?

Gerald Barker

Red lamp like always, changed it for a regular lamp for a few days but they still close their eyes so i put the red lamp back.

Its my first time this year to deal with it, most of my adults and yearlings got it in the beginning of this breeding season.

You might want to look into getting some tiamulin (Denagard). I haven't used it, but it's supposed to work pretty well.

Are they gaining weight daily?

-Kathy

I will check their weights, 2 days ago a chick died so i was sure they weren't eating and drinking, i started feeding them today by hand, they are active and their poop looks normal but since their eyes will stuck close they can't move until they hear me coming.

Are they gaining weight daily?

-Kathy

They were two, one was losing weight, and the second stayed on his same weight until now, the first one died, i noticed their beaks turned almost black and soft, that's weird because i was feeding them vitamin supplement(A,D and E) in their water since they hatched, can they have vitamin deficiencies?

ETA: I'm not saying he died from vitamin deficiencies, i'm just thinking it was another problem.

The second chick died a few hours ago too, this means the room is empty of chicks right now so I will clean it and will sterilize the room to make sure i killed any virus left, if anyone has another suggestion i will appreciate it.
