2012 Chicks Day 6 1/2

Sad news. We lost both our Silver-laced Wyandottes - one night before last and one last night. In all the years we have been keeping chickens, we have never lost chicks while they were still in the brooder. All the other breeds are doing fine, but the Wyandottes just did not seem to grow and eventually stopped eating and drinking. I let the feed store know, and they said they hadn't heard that any more had died, and they were sold out of the remainder.
We replaced one with an "Easter Egger" from the nearby Ace Hardware. I didn't take any video last night because the second chick was dying and it was sad, so I recorded this at lunch today.
