Hi everyone,
I’m a new poster but often come here for information and have fund many posts helpful. Between the last 3 days we’ve had 7 chickens suddenly drop dead. 4 were found on their back and 3 looked like they just fell off their purches. We can’t for the life of us figure out what’s going on. We thought at first it was the heat- it was high 90s the first day and they were found in the coop. But the others died the next day when it was much cooler. We’re giving them water and electrolytes now. They were from 2 different coops that don’t socialize. They are free range but on opposite sides of the farm. Any leads on what to look for. The bodies look healthy except that they’re dead.
