All chicks died

I'm sad to say, we've had a sorry tale with the recently hatched chicks and they have died one by one in the last week, one of them was definitely trampled by the other hens, it died in my hands on Saturday morning, the others I've found on a morning. Dave - suddenly the guru of animal husbandry - said we shouldn't of had them in with the hens, but segregated out, but last year we didn't have any such problems and so I'm ignoring his sage advice.
It's sad, but that's the way of life and there's nothing I can do now, so no point dwelling on what should or could have been. Onwards and upwards!
