@nedward what are your thoughts. Sounds like a virus infecting the nervous system?

Kindly chicks get easily chilled, check on your brooding temperatures. Post vaccination reactions normally observed within the first 3 days. If your area is currently cold with the current rains take care of the chicks properly. However remember that vaccinations doesn't eliminate other pathogens from your flock. Further more remember the period following vaccination, the immune system of the birds is always over work as it tries to develop resistance to the introduced vaccines hence the warning ⚠ that never vaccinate any birds that already show signs of illness otherwise their immune system will be overwhelmed in try to fight the disease as well as respond to the vaccine.

Incubation is a fickle business that requires you having market in mind, source for quality parent stock for fertile egg production and must also have a unit for raising birds because not all will be taken at day old especially before you get market segment. Biosecurity and knowledge of incubation a must. Stable power supply and or back up supply.
