Hi, I have 12 Cornish X meat chicks and three Light Brahma chicks. Meat chicks are 9 days old from a local farm, LB from Ideal hatched on 23rd. Until last night they were all fine and this morning one of the CX was not getting up so I put it in a box in the brooder (I don't have a 2nd light) with it's own food and water but it won't eat or drink and now can't even get up. It is also breathing heavily. What should I do and what could be causing this? I am very worried about the other chicks getting whatever this is.
Edited to add:
They are on medicated feed/electrolyte vitamin solution in water. The sick chick has pooped since I seperated it and it looks normal, not runny or bloody. Are they too young to have yogurt?
