I have lost 2 chicks out of 26 in the past week. The first chick passed from pasty butt. The second I do not know what ! She died this morning after acting lethargic and week the past couple of days. She had runny poop… tried everything to save her but she didn’t pull through. I still have a couple chicks who are acting “off”. Past few days I’ve been checking the chicks every night. I have approximately three booties to clean a night because of pasties. (Brooder is not to warm ). More chicks have runny stools and are acting extra tired. Lots of laying down … seldom worried about eating. Skinny babies
Isn’t this too early to worry about coccidius? The food they are on is also a preventative so…
I ended up putting the 24 chicks in the one brooder after the second chick died this morning. I wanted them all under the light because it was doing better temperature wise. I have also added another small feeder to the brooder.
(I know it isn’t a lot of space for growing chicks but this set up is the best I got for one more week until they have more feathers so the hot plate will be more reliable)
