sorry for the circumstances. Are these adult chickens or newly purchased chicks ? Are they warm enough? Are you providing an adequate diet ? Is there blood in their feces ?

Thank u for responding and they are 1 week and 3 days old it is 96.3 on one side of where they are being keot and 80.7 on the other. I am feeding them the same thing they were being fed at tsc. And no blood in the feces.

How long have they been acting weak? I got chicks from tractor supply who are under 2 weeks old, and one of them, who was fine earlier today, within a half hour was very weak and unable to chirp.

Mine were chirping very loud earlier today but very quietly now. I can not rember exactly what breed they were but i had 6 and both of the California somethings died today and yesterday. I don’t know if it was the breed or something and i am check them every 15 minutes to make sure they are ok because one has been acting strange lately.

Oh i forgot and they are less approachable.When I get close to them to pick them up they run not like when i first got them and were very friendly and would walk on me.

Have they been eating and drinking? You can try giving them molasses water or sugar water with a syringe which helped mine and can give them a bit of energy.

They eat fine but i will give some molasses water. To see if it helps. And thank u for the help. And i have 2 Asian Silkies and 2 golden comets.

Unfortunately it is not a TSC issue, I purchased a baby yesterday from FFAH and it along with a sweet baby I already had passed away today. I am really sorry, it sucks bad losing even one.
