I posted pictures a while back of my sons Ag. project which was building a coop. He got his pullets in March, and we have gotten along great...until now. Three weeks ago, he lost one of his RIR. Last week, one of his While Leghorns died, and this morning, another Leghorn was dead. They are showing no respiratory troubles or signs of being sick. We did add 10 hens to the flock a two weeks ago, but all seemed healthy. We had a friend, that has a poultry science degree look at the one that died last week. He commented that her gizzard was full of shavings, and she had some bleeding in her intestines. We feed Southern States laying mash. He is going to be heartbroke to know that he lost another chicken. Any suggestions of what we should try? We don't have any vets in the area that have experience with chickens.
Thanks
