Lacking selenium in the diet maybe?
Sorry that's happening.

I hadn't considered that....thank you. Will go check their feed's nutritional values.

Awww, you're very sweet. The support means everything to me.

How often do you feed the potatoes? Are they raw? Toxins come from green potatoe skins. I'm not sure if it causes that issue though

Whenever we have some leftover, which isn't too often. No, these are fully cooked with queso cotija added in. I doubt it, since they haven't been fed any for a while (until today). But, in these cases, we need to search for every possible culprit.

Well I hope you figure this out before you lose anymore. Being Mereks is in the flock it's a possibility too..
I'm seriously sorry because I'd hate for this to happen to me too.........

@pipdzipdnreadytogo I took updated pictures of Blue. I think he's part Phoenix due to his fancy long tail, & neck hackle feathers.

Same here. Yes, and perhaps this unexpected cold snap weakened them.....I'm thinking stress can bring on a Marek's attack.

You've been so kind. My heart is officially warmed. That beautiful flock of yours had better remain healthy!

Thank you, we'll hope together!

Lucky birds, living in the lap of luxury. I'd love to heat my coop, but the wiring in the barn is far too unstable.

Ah, so he could be a mix of practically anything, then?
