I have been raising baby chicks for over two years and never had any problems until now...It started in Thurs one that was a little over a month old was just sitting there with it's eyes closed and a few hours later it was dead...This morning the same happened to it's bunk mate even after we moved it into a clean cage on after the other one died....It looks like my two month olds are getting sick too....They have runny poo but no blood, their feed and water is clean and not moldy or dirty (we change their water several times a day and clean the dish well each time)....I just got them a new bag of medicated feed on Sunday...Could it be bad batch of feed? I have read on other sites about cocci that sounds alot like what is happening...I have read about the molassess or epsom salt with their water, which I have neither on hand, but also apple cider vinager that I do have, but how much do I put in? Tomorrow morning my husband will bring home the molassess for them...My 4 year old's bunny was also in the same building from Wed night until just a few hours ago, and she also has runny poo and not eating much, she is now in the house...Can someone please help me on what is going on so I don't loose any more chicks or my daughters bunny...Thanks you so very much....
