Hatching
Hi everyone, I'm new here so hello.
We have 8 hybrid hens, 3 silkies, a Rhode island red, 3 bantam hens and a full rooster.
We were given new 8 bantams but all but 3 of them have died, they had no feathers and were losing weight, I separated them from the rest of the birds but they didn't survive.
Today I go to check on them and our other Rhode island red was laying dead on the floor.
Does anybody know what this could indicate? and a possible cure? I've cleaned the coop with bleach and let it dry out and everything has been ok for a week and bow this poor girl has died, she's a really good weight and usually really happy, even down to letting you stroke her whilst she stood still.
Obviously I know you can't diagnose an illness but any ideas would be appreciated
Many thanks
Simon
