When I wine up this morning a baby chick had it's head on it's back and it's feet it the air and it was sleeping that way. She looked dead. But she was still breathing. I put her in her own brooder because the other ones were walking all over her. I tried to get her to lay down normal which she did but I went to get a shower and when i came back (20 min.) she was on her back with her feet in the air. I thought for sure she was dead. She was actually still alive. I layed her down normal again and I had to leave for school. I was told by someone on BYC to give her sugar water, but as soon as my dad got the sugar water ready and went in to the room she was dead. We thought it was a issue with that one chick. But I cam home (4:30) and my little brother found the second one dead. Then I thought a disease got to them. So I went all chicken health crazy. I called TSC and they said to go buy a antibiotic for the chicks. So we did. I mixed a tablespoon with a gallon on water. I made sure all the chicks got at-least one drink on the way back into the brooder. Oh! And I totally emptied out their brooders and cleaned it with antibacterial soap. I took everything out that had poop on it and threw it away,(perches, blocks of wood under the feeders) I read that the poop can carry the disease. I also got rid of the food that was in there. I washed out the water giver also. Plus the antibiotics were mixed in the water. I feel like there is something els I can do but im not sure. Please help me because I'm clueless. I think one of my birds in the other brooder is showing symptoms, but I'm not sure
