Hello all!
I'm still struggling with pasty butt in my chicks! I backed off brooder temp (it's roughly 85 now/ also kind of scared they are too cold because of dog piles). and am making sure my chicks vents stay CLEAN. I lost a chick to this a couple days ago. They are 6 days old now. One is acting funny, she's skinny and weaker than the others. Had runny stools yesterday (still eating and drinking). No coccidia that I know of. (no bloody stools). But I'm picking up some Corid just in case. How often do y'all have failure to thrive chicks? I started with 20 chicks, I'm down to 19... might be 18 by tomorrow depending on little girl.
I look forward to reading y'all's answers!
