Well today was a sad day in the nursery. I am extremely saddened to say that little NutMeg and Peggy passed away last night. I do not why, I just found them dead in the brooder.I am very bummed, and as a precaution I have added electrolytes to their water, and changed their feed.
Anyways, other than that, everyone else has been fine. They've been dustbathing in the shavings all evening and really enjoying themselves.
Oh, I'm so sorry! I know how that feels. We had some chicks a few weeks back and I found one passed away. He was the tamest of them all and had seemed healthy before. I still can't figure out why he passed, but I moved them so I could disinfect the area they were in. If I put chicks in there again, I'll be disinfecting several times just to insure that all will be well.
I'm glad that the rest of your chicks are doing fine, though! My sultans will be a month old tomorrow and I'm so happy!
