What's killing my chicks? Hurry please

I'm sorry I don't know what that is. I did a quick Google search and it looks like it is a store.

Oh sorry! Just like TSC!! I know their a chain but maybe it's more of an East thing.

I give her a small break to warm up and then sugar water.

Much less likely to bring home a disease from a place like this than say If the birds came from a backyard breeder.


The feed...?

 

[Kiki]

From a local feed mill that hundreds of people in the area use. I have used their feed multiple times before.

Does the feed come in a bag with a tag on it?

 

[_-Captain BRM-_]

Ooookay. She's gone. Just flipped out on me. Ragh. We were making progress too. Now let's see if it takes another one. Lost the Brahma and now RIR.

Also do you know that a regular old school light bulb can produce enough heat to warm a brooder in most cases?

If it's like TSC, is it a possibility they got their chicks from Hoover's Hatchery? I've gotten Silkie chicks from TSC, and had issues. Their chicks wasn't healthy.

Maybe you can talk to the store and see if they'll refund? They might want to see the chicks you lost or other means of evidence that you lost them.

On another note, you mentioned the new second hand dog kennel. Maybe you ought to try rulling that out, and try brooding them in something else. Just in case the kennel had a disease on it that wasn't able to be washed off.

I'm so sorry for your lost!

Really? I did not know this.

Yes. Hoover's hatchery sounds familiar. I have photo evidence of dead chicks so that might help. Also our FFAH is super chill so we should be fine. Thank you all for all the help. It is so appreciated and I will keep y'all updated on what happens in the morning.
