Help! My four babies died!

I have a terrible, terrible update! I just got home today to find three more chickens dead!!!! I have no idea what happened. Two of the chickens were outdoors and were about 7-8 months old and one of the chickens has never even been around the others! She had a cut leg so I was treating her inside for the last two weeks and got her right around then. She has never been outside, never been around the other chickens. The only thing in common with all of the chickens is the water source (city water) and the feed source (Kelly's laying feed)

I'm so sorry!
Can you refrigerate the bodies and send them to your state lab for necropsy to get more information.

Photos of your housing, poop, chickens, etc. may help us give you some tips.
Can you think of anything they could have eaten/ingested that would be toxic? Are you using any type of heat lamps, does housing have plenty of ventilation, were there any symptoms that your chickens exhibited - coughing, sneezing, etc.?
