ok, I don't know where you are, what breed you have or the ages of your chicks. I do know to send you to tractor Supply or your feed store for a small bottle of Bovidr Labs Poultry Nutri-Drench or Goat Nutri-Drench. Using the poultry usage and dosage instructions, add it to the chicks water until it looks like very weak tea. If any of your chicks actually look like they are suffering, give them one drop only of the Drench.She's gone
Hi,I am having the same troubles as many of you. I am checking for pasty butt every day and everybody seems fine and then I come home and one of the "stronger" ones is laying there dead! I ordered 30 chicks from a larger hatchery-they sent me 37-I now have 25 left-about 10 days old. Electrolyte supplements in water-room temp, in a large brooder box in the garage with a heat lamp raised higher-too high and chicks are huddling in corner. I usually find a dead one under the live ones when they scatter. we have been having 80-85 degree temps here. garage is open at least 3x a day for air. medium pine bedding so less small chips to peck at fresh water 2x a day... Purina medicated starter feed... I don't know what else to do! I got 15 bantam and 15 rare breed & polish/crested & it seems the larger one are now not fairing well??? I will chalk 4 up to pasty butt/inexperience but I just hatched 3 seramas less that the size of a quarter and they are doing great. the only thing I can think of is our water is softened but why would this not be affecting all my chicks? I change the littler at least 2x per week... Any help or advise would be appreciated. I did check the dead chicks and none of them had pasty butt......
