I was looking over the internet and can't find what I am looking for. Seen a couple of things but felt I need more info and found something on here but like I said wasn't exactly what I was seeking.
OK here is the problem. Yesterday I went out and there was a young pullet dead, 7 week old, mix. A couple hours later another 7 week old. I go to one of my inside areas. An almost 3 month old, dead. The 7 week olds I separated and another 2 died this morning (All 7 week olds were in one area)
Now the almost 3 month old was in an area that had 4 in it. All but one is left in that area. After the first 3 (they all dropped pretty close to one another, timing wise) I started paying attention. They all have been shaking their heads. Like a twitch.
They haven't been anywhere around each other but yes as good of hygiene as I like to keep I maybe passed a germ? I don't know.
We purchased Tylan and administered but even after administering one of the 3 month olds dropped and the last one in that pen is now shaking his head.
I am distraught. I try to keep it super clean, always fresh water and food. Just am mourning their loss and worried about all my other chickens.
Can anyone help or has some advice. Please
