dawn hughes replied to peace varga's discussion 'dying chicks' in the group Backyard Chickens"Is there somewhere you can take one of the dead chicks to be tested to see what is killing them. It sounds like you have a lot more experience in raising chickens than I do but, just the fact that so many of them are dying is very disconcerting. The…"

dying chicks
I ordered 60 meat chicks from a well known hatchery and before they were a week old 13 died. I called the hatchery and they sent 14 replacements (one was dead on arrival in the box). This morning 3 of the new ones were not doing well. I watched for a bit noticed they were seizing. it wasn't long before they died. Has anyone had this same kind of experience? All my other birds are doing well now. I've never had this happen in all my years raising chickens.See More
