I am down half my flock! I only started with 4, but still. They are just dead in the coop, both times.
I live in Austin, over 100 degrees every day for a couple months now and not a drop of rain since April. Is the heat killing my girls or could it be something else??
Since the first one died last week we've been spraying their run with water midday and are sure to let them roam the yard every other day or so. But their run and coop are fully ventilated, though there hasn't been much wind.
How do I know if its the heat or disease? What do I do?! My goldie wyandotte was laying weird and panting right next to the dead one today, I htink if I hadn't hosed her off she'd be dead by now.
Help!
