PLEASE HELP MY CHICKS ARE DYING ONE BY ONE!!

[ten chicks]

Not all vaccines cover all strains of coccidiosis,i believe one covers 8 strains,considering there are 11 strains anything is possible. You are positive chicks were vaccinated for coccidiosis? Also you cannot use medicated feed if your chicks have been vaccinated for cocci,doing this cancels out the vaccine.

Chicks in the brooder are very susceptible to coccidiosis,as cocci thrives in brooder settings and progression is rapid as it is spread by droppings which get into feed/water via droppings.

This is what is happening.. They become lethargic..labored breathing and then they cry, twitch around and die…. I have NEVER seen this before and Ive raised chicks in Conn and Colorado. I have never gotten my chicks from McMurrays but they came highly recommended from a friend that has been raising chickens for more 20 years. I tried dropper feeding the Electrolyte fluid and im still losing them..My brooder temp is between 88-90.

What are you feeding them?? Your video says private.

Is this medicated or non medicated? If you believe it is not the brooder temp or coccidiosis,then change food.

 

[KnkGoose]

Its non medicated…. I dont know if I will have any left to feed .. I had 26 chicks 3 hours ago and now I have 10.

You have checked heat lamp/brackets to make sure they do not contain teflon? You are 100% sure these chicks have been vaccinated for coccidiosis?

How are they acting right now?

Have you been feeding them anything other than their chick feed? What is one the floor of brooder? What room are chicks in,inside home?

I just lost 3 more.. I purchased the lights from tractor supply as brooder lamps so I would think they are safe? I have the email
from Mcmurray stating I had them vaccinated for Merrics and Coccididosis so unless they didnt do it then they have been vaccinated.. I changed the setting can you view the video now?

Check the feed for mold, how does it look/smell? Have you changed your heat bulb recently? IMO it's not a disease it's a feed or environmental issue.
