chicks getting sick and dying

by ali

My chicks have developed round swellings on and around the beak, they have swollen eyelids and swollen legs. They can barely walk and are rapidly dying.

****************************************************
Ali, there are many chicken diseases that could meet your description, including Avian flu, which as you know is extremely deadly and highly contagious.

I cannot make a diagnosis over the Internet, I suggest that you contact either your local Agricultural department or bring in a poultry vet to try and determine exactly what is wrong with your chickens.

We hope that you will return to this message and tell us what the verdict was once you have been able to determine what is wrong with your poultry.
