My silkie chicks are dying am I doing everything I can?

Ugh. I guess no time is very safe. Hoping all our flocks are OK from here on out.

Yes! Hoping the same thing! If you are right there with them I think the risk is really pretty low. The fun they have may be worth the small risk.

Did you ever find out what happened to the chicks? I had the same thing happen, my first time with silkies too. They were 5 days old, they were all fine then they were lethargic and didn't eat or drink much, started open mouth breathing, wouldn't stand up, started jerking so hard it flipped on its back, then stretched out and died.
