PLEASE HELP! ANY ADVICE WILL BE HELPFUL!
All of the sudden all of my chicks have constant empty crops and runny poo! Its like they won't eat their chick starter, it's the same kind i have been feeding them since day 1! I am losing a chick a week! Please help! Do they have worms? None of them have Sour crop or impacted crop! I have lost 2 adult hens in the last 3 weeks as well! The chicks are no where around the Adult hens and i always wash any part of me body that has touched the hens or the chicks before entering another house to feed!
Besides the chicks are still in the house in their brooder! I have lost two hens and 3 chicks so far, its getting to the point i a losing 1 a day! HELP! PLEASE!
I really hate losing them and i have done as much research as i can but nothing that explains this! I was told to add ACV (with the mother in it) to their water and diatomatious earth to their feed as a natural remedy! Any suggestions!
Chicks # 4 is dying as I type and I don't knoe how to help her! i couldn't get her to eat or drink this morning! :(

Hi Momma Hen.
Really sorry to hear about this. Could be Coccidiosis -

Please get them to a vet or try the chicken vet help line ASAP.

Let us know how it goes. Fingers crossed.

Kind Regards
Jamie.
