Came home from work to find that seven of my 15 new baby chicks had died. They were almost 2 weeks old. I think it was the heat. It was almost 100 degrees here and they were out of water. I feel awful. I've moved the others to a waterer with a larger capacity and I'm checking them more frequently. Even Sahara, the mamma chick was lethargic.
My other chickens on an automatic waterer are fine.
