I have had a terrible week. Today a 9wk old campine died with no outward marks or symptoms. Two days ago a blue cochin bantam died at 6wks no symptoms. A month ago a welsh harliquin duck died at 10 mo. The only symptoms she displayed was a cut near her eye that was healed after a trip to the vet. if this is a fixable problem i would like to stop it before other problens occur
Facts on our flock and their area
10 ducks counting the two drakes 1yr old lived out side for most of the time from metzers
2 adult yr old chickens been w us for 10mo from scrable
8 chicks 12wk old been outside for 7wks from feed store
12 chick 9 wks old beenoutside for 5wks from meyers
15 cochin/rosecomb bantams 5wks beem out for 1wk from cackle
they live in a shrock storage style building have roosts and screed doors rather than windows they only sleep there
plenty of water/ducks access to 2 acre pond
lots of shade they free range most of the day
it has beem hot lately 80s-near 100 could account for cochin death
thank you for reading and any advice towards keeping chickens cool would be great canot use mister it is too humid in illinois
if you have an idea as to why they died i really need the help
