Very sick chicks. Pale face/comb. Can barely hold herself up

It was inconclusive for a specific disease, we would have had to pay substantially more for a pathologist to look at tissue samples and it may or may not have given us an answer. Our vet advised against it. We know she died from organ failure, but the underlying cause was not apparent. . Vet recommended weighing the chicks more often to ensure they are gaining weight appropriately and went through giving subq fluids before it's too late next time around. All things I wish I knew beforehand. I feel like we failed our poor Cleo, but I'm better prepared for the next illness that comes around. Hopefully we are through the worst of it though.

Just an fyi...state labs are usually much cheaper and some are actually free, depending on which state you are in (if you mentioned it I missed that) for necropsies and they usually are able to give a definitive death reason. Thanks for getting back to me.

That's great advice, I will look into it ( I really hope I won't need it again!!). Thank you!
