Sick chicks.. ??

[prinellie]

I have 2 week old chicks. Someone(s) have had runny poo since day 2 of bringing them home. 5 days ago I started ACV in their water. This morning one chick is in a corner or walking slowly around with her wings all scrunched up around her neck. I’ve had big chickens act like this but not babes. It has been 100-104 since bringing them home. There is plenty of moving air as I have a fan on on the coop ( but not ‘on’ them). The coop temp ranges about 98 during the day. I have no idea what’s up with these girls… can someone please give some advice? Thanks!

Can you dose her with undiluted nutri drench and give her some cooked yolk to eat?

Sure. How much nutri drench? They are all panting this afternoon. I’m giving new water 3 times - hope they will survive. Any thots on why a couple have runny poo?

It may be because of the heat. If there's more showing symptoms, dose their water with nutri drench and maple syrup or honey. They can all benefit from it.

They're possibly overheating. The runny poop is probably because they're drinking a lot more than usual to try and deal with it. Electrolytes once every few days can help them with dealing with the heat stress.
