Hello, I have baby chicks ranging in age from a few days to three weeks. One by one they are dying. They get weak, stop acting like lively chicks, get tired and droopy, sprawl out and die. They stop using their feet when you pick them up to touch the ground, don't respond to sound, wings lightly elevated off body. Brooding in a chest freezer with no top, thought maybe carbon dioxide? Put a small fan on a timer every 6 minutes every hour. Lost one more and have a weak one right now. Black australorps, sapphire splashes black australorps black copper Marans. Feeding 18% duck and goose feed. I'm putting in electrolytes today to see if it helps. Please help. Brooded 50 layers and 1000 meatbirds last year, can barely keep my 15 going this year.
