This year my flock has taken a hit, Five birds down to one now. I'm not sure if it's the feed I give them, Lay crumble. Or just the cages themselves possibly?

Any tips so I can become a better parent for the flock?
All my birds are in wire bottom large cages most of the time and sometimes I kept pairs in wire rabbit cages.
In the winter, they have a heatlamp that turns on and turns off via thermostat.
