Thanks.
Two more birds died this afternoon. 8 out of 49 now.
We are having a nasty gnat outbreak right now that started yesterday. They are driving the birds crazy and probably adding to the stress levels.
I had 49 8 week old Freedom Ranger meat birds in a free range paddock being fed an 18% ( I think) mash. Last night I found 3 dead. No sign of trauma though they were a bit flattened out. this morning I found one more hardly moving and breathing hard. Other birds were mounting and pecking him...
