Some state labs will test feed samples as well; mycotoxins can definitely mess with birds and some seem to have a higher tolerance level than others. And what may have been below threshold for the slightly larger birds may have been too much for the lighter, thinner bird. If you see mould on any of the pieces of feed (Particularly corn or barley, sometimes wheat) that might be part of the problem.
Around here the cost for testing feed for a number of mycotoxins is around the $35-40 mark, not sure what it would be in the states.
