We purchased 16 chicks from Meyer hatchery. They will be 2 weeks old on Mon. 2 have already died (at 2 days old, and 1 week old.)
Another became weak today and one eye is closed. When we pull up the lid, her eye has become colorless and cloudy. It used to be black.
Any ideas what's going on?
I suspect she will pass away tonight.

Don't understand why they are dying with no signs of any issues (except this one.) we have raised chicks before, multiple times, with no issues. So, we know what we are doing.

Any ideas are helpful. I have already contacted the hatchery. They aren't much help.

I'm sorry to hear about your losses.

Do you have photos of the chicks and brooder setup?

Of the chick's eye too, please. Could she have been pecked in the eye and blinded?

What are you feeding?

What's the temperature of the brooder on the warm side and the cool side?

Have you offered any supplements or added anything to their water?

Have you treated for Coccidiosis?

What symptoms do you see before they die? Anything = not eating/drinking, lethargy, puffing up, peeping non stop...?
