i hatched 9 chicks & all of them seemed to be okay & then I lost 2 of them to what seemed like the same thing. Both shaking heads, one closed eye, I had 3 other catch whatever it was & make it through very well.
I just hatched 2 more chicks & one is 3 days old, I put pine shavings in the brooder & as soon as I put it in, it started shaking its head and scratching. I immediately took it out of the pine shavings & changed the begging to paper towels. The second chick is not shaking or scratching at all. It’s one day old. It never touched the shavings. The first one is very active, very chirpy. I feel like I hear bubbles when it breathes. How at 3 days old could it be sick?! I’m beside myself & so stressed. I can’t find any info for a 3 day old chick to be sick like this. I just saw it poop & the poop was a dark yellowish color but bubbly. I’m so confused. Someone pls help me out & calm my nerves if this is normal
