Thanks for nothing

No one helpes me with my issue with 3 dead chicks now I got nine dead and another going no advice nothing.

What are you feeding them?

 

[yonkey]

Chick grow. And two days ago my buddy gave them some cracked corn

 

[LeafBlade12345]

Well that may be the problem! Cracked corn SHOULD NOT be fed to chicks under four wks. In fact, they should simply eat chick starter with some scrambled eggs, tuna, and some grit. Do your chickens have access to grit, sand, pebbles? Are their crops full or empty? Are they having diarrhea?

 

[allbirds4me]

how old are/were they? How did their poop look? How warm are you keeping them ?
any signs of respiratory problems, sneezing, coughing , head shaking , etc. etc. ?
MORE info. always helpful and so sorry for your losses.

Oops I forgot! Sorry your chicks died! Also, are they inside or outside?

To be fair you posted this thread about 4 hours after your initial post, it's a weekend people are doing things and not always sitting at the computer ready to voluntarily answer every post 24/7...

Generally when they start to die off rapidly like this it's due to an illness or exposure...

With that said, sorry to hear about what is happening but we have little to no information to build upon or offer advice from...

Are you feeding them medicated feed?
What is the temp in and around them, do they have a warm place?
Do they have access to clean water?
Have you noticed any irregularities in their poop?
Have you noticed any irregular behaviors? Gasping for air? Lethargy? Sneezing?

And feel free to post anything you thing might be relevant...

Sorry about losing your chicks, but the more info you can give the more responses you may get. At such a young age, coccidiosis may be the problem, especially if you are seeing lethargic chicks, diarrhea, not eating, sitting puffed up or hunched, and especially if there is blood in the poop. Corid or amprollium is the treatment in the water for 5-7 days. Other possibilities would be impacted crops, but symptoms help.

They eat chick grow mostly but alittle mealworms everyday too. The ones that died today were looking like they were having trouble moving like muscle failure. They are about a month and 2 weeks old. They stay in a trailor outside right now all day and night. There is about 40 of them. They have a clean water. I have one left with these conditions.

 

[yonkey]

They were all sitting in one position and didn't move before they died.
