Yesterday at 10am I heard my chicks yelling from the back porch like they do for food or water
. They are kinda winny.
I went out to fill both and in the nesting area 9 of the chicks were dead on top of each other and blood and waterness splattered on the walls and door and bodies ... I had 6 rhode island reds and 12 buff orphantins got them as pullets only from online and tractor supply. They were happy and healthy cuddly and engaging there whole lives no issues .. we got them a new coop and put them outside on the porch till we moved them to the big coop with the rest of the chickens . I assumed a terrible fight broke out .. but now this morning the 3 remaining buffs are dead and the reds who were 3 weeks older are clearly not feeling well separate areas starring at the walls and not engaged lathargic and sad .. they seem to have blood and white stuff on them and there bottoms out of.nowhere also . We see and take care of and cuddle the chickens every day. My kids are confused and devastated and so am I.. I have no idea what happened
But there is no damage to the coop from an outside predator ..
