Poults seemed healthy now dying.

hi everyone. Thank you for the help!. My Brodie hen hatched 6 baby poults. They are now about a week old. Yesterday they seemed fine, this morning one was dead and another one is dying. Checked the babies and I noticed their cloaca vents seem to be red. I give them moist medicated chick starter. Can someone help me to stop the other 4 from dying? Thank you.

Is your broody a turkey hen? Are they with her? They shouldn't be eating a medicated chick starter. They need a game bird starter. I wouldn't moisten it either. More information on how they kept may help.

Probably should treat them with Corid for coccidiosis.
