I have a small flock of easter eggers ( approx. 4 months now) that I have been raising with my mixed flock. Everything was fine but then I noticd one had a swollen eye, I have a couple roosters so I thought maybe they were fighting and the smaller one got pecked. The next day a different bird was dead, no sign of trauma. That night I noticed one sneezing a bunch, removed her and then 2 days later a different bird dead, again no trauma. Is there something spreading?? I am getting Vet RX and a dewormer after work but I am down 4 birds now. I have seperated the sick ones but the dead ones where never sick so I have no idea what is happening. Any other advise on what to do. I have the seemingly healthy ones in en entirely seperate coop. Is it a respiratory infection, coyza, I am familar with all of these things but something is not adding up. The sick ones were removed and still alove the others are the ones dying.

I'm sorry for your loss.
Can you please post photos of the birds, their poop and housing?
What do you feed including treats?
How many birds do you have?
Where are you located in the world?
So the ones you have separated are doing o.k.?
