I am sorry to hear that about your Roos hope things get better.

4 dead in one day? I would guess poisioning or a short in water heater causing electric shock?

Aww that stinks... I sure hope you'll let us help you figure out what happened.

if money is tight maybe you could cull and eat the rest of the roos and just keep the number of hens you can afford right now. Money is tight all over and sometimes it just sneaks up on you all of a sudden when there is no money left in the checking account, if a lot of little things don't go your way all in one month. No shame in that. Better to cull and eat the roos though, than to just starve 'em out. (if that was what you did, accidently or otherwise.) Sorry for your loss.

Wow wolf, how sad.... I agree with JMajors, that we need a little more information about your situation. I hope someone here can help.

So sorry for your loss. I hope you can find out why 4 birds at one time. Very unusual. Tis a mystery.

if they had gotten in a cock fight, it would be very very obvious....lots of blood and wounds and all over obvious injuries

what does OP mean, I know it is something about Poster but?

When I run out of feed and am waiting for an order - weather permitting- (all flights in and out are "weather permitting" and there is no other way here than to use airlines/airplanes most of the year) I pressure cook whole salmon from the freezer, cook up rice, barley, some cornmeal grits, add canned corn on sale, get left over (free) fresh veggies and fruits from the grocery store and that gets my birds by until the plane gets here w/my order.

I use a 32 gallon pressure cooker and stock up on salmon but when the freezer is empty there are always people in town who want to get rid of their freezer burnt fish and I am happy to get it for the birds.

The birds get protein, calcium, veggies, fruits and I've never had a problem with their egg shells or eggs. Only had one sour crop so far last summer/fall. I see oats on sale and people advertise to sell salmon on Craigslist and in the newspapers. Hope these ideas help if you run out of feed. We don't have feed stores here.
