Emergency!! Lost 16 chickens in a week!!

No word yet but I gave my two that are worst off some antibacterial antibiotic and they turned around within just a couple days. So I'm wondering if they got some bacterial infection from the feed or something. I'm still pretty stuck on the feed being the issue because like I said, that's the only common factor between all my birds other than the ducks. The turkeys are fine because they prefer corn over the layer... I havnt been out yet today, the wind is so bad it snow drifted me in. I've got a snowdrift as tall as the trunk on my car, and I have a new Pontiac grand prix, not a tiny car. It's insane!! Another question, once my chickens are out of the woods, do you think it'd be ok to put one pheasant in there with them? He's all alone and not smart enough to go into his house to get out of the weather. Don't think he can keep himself warm, just being him. I lost the other two.
