Anyone have just roosters die?

[Debbie09011970]

I have suddenly started losing roosters. A few seemed to get an eye infection in one eye only and then pass a days a few days later. The others act sick a few days and then pass. I have thrown every chicken antibiotic known to man at them and stuck wormer on their back and down their throats. All that I seem to do is further their death.

Sorry for your losses. What antibiotics have you tried and where do you live?

Are you aware you can have a necropsy performed by your state lab for a definitive answer as to why they're dying?

Looks like your state only charges $60. Which is a great price.

I have had no hens die. I forgot to add that one rooster acted like he was gagging before he died...like he was having trouble breathing. I googled and decided he had throat worms and gave him worm medicine. He died the next day.
