Help! Chickens dying for no reason!

[chickengirls16]

Hello. This started with a california tan pullet who has been acting off(not eating very much, doesn't move much, let's us pick her up without flinching, ETC) for a few weeks. We found her lying on her back, dead, at 7pm-ish. (This was weeks ago) There was a smudge where her face hit on the feed bin next to where she had died. this made me think seizure or something similar. A week or so after the first one, our olive egger(also been acting off) was dead in the coop one night. Then, ten minutes ago, we found our amberlink lying on her side in EXATLY THE SAME SPOT as the california tan, and there seems to be a smudge there too. Why?

Does anybody else have terrible experiences like this from ffh as well? 23/ 55 chickens we bought from ffh this spring died.

I'm sorry to hear that.
What's their diet? Anything toxic or moldy they could have found?

We use kalmbach layer feed and a huge free range area. We feed them food scraps aswell( not anything we shouldn't or anything moldy) we have had no issues at all with our older flock, but the old and new flock do everything the same.

We do have a young Wyandotte who breathes open-mouth and sneezes almost constantly, but she has been like that forever and is the only one like that.

Sorry for your losses. It would be hard to know what is wrong without a necropsy and some testing. What is ffh? In what state are you located? Can you keep her body cold, but not frozen in a cooler on ice or wrapped in plastic bags in the fridge till morning? Then call your state vet to ask about a necropsy. Here is a list of state vet labs to contact:
