About four weeks old, two just seemed off. Kind of huddled up, resting on hocks. Then I noticed a hen knock one over! Like it just tipped.
I took them out and noticed they were warm, legs seemed swollen and their butts were enlarged, all puffy.
A little while later, the bigger one (that tipped) started twisting around, clearly in agony. Throwing its head back, gasping. I picked it up and it died. A milky goo started running out of it's beak and then I noticed I had its bloody stool all over me.
What could it be? I am so concerned they all die or that we can get sick from whatever it is that killed this one.
