Mine were breeders, out in a breeding pen plenty of shade and air moving around them.
What puts the icing on the cake is my wife just got the this quad (rooster and 3 hens) from Bill Karcher (Eagles Nest) last week.

Interesting...yeah...the large fowl I had were very nice....a pair of whites and a pair of salmons...all full-sized, from good stock. They had plenty of shade and fans, too...and an insulated/heated coop. They seem to just be genetically weak? I don't know? I have had some hardiness issues (cold weather) with my bantam Houdan as wellr but the LF Creves are doing great. Never lost a single one of those...*knocks on wood*
So who knows? I am just super bummed because they are so stinkin' cute. Maybe next year I'll try bantam Ameracuanas instead?
Sorry to hear you've had such bad luck with them Heather!
Let me know if you want to try the bantam Ams...even this year, I have a few extra pairs...
