Fatty liver kills without any symptoms and it is caused by what they eat.This is mostly all that we feed them. They get scraps from the kitchen almost daily.
But for the most part this is what we feed them.
We have had opossums around for a while and other than the one that was eaten there were no signs of violence.@Caleb1534 I look through som eof your older posts.
Looks like you have had some type of respiratory disease in your flock before.
I wonder if you possibly have Marek's disease. Send your next death to these people and you will get an answer as to what is is killing your birds unless it is the possums killing them.

I just didn’t know if you’d notice weight loss when picking them up to burry them (other than the one picked clean, obviously).I didn't notice any weight change because I've been very busy.
Possibly their food is moldy? But I don't think so because it seems from what I can tell that one gets sick, dies, then another takes the baton (as it were) and continues the cycle.
Also, we don't have a feeder or anything like that. We feed them a small amount twice a day so I think that we would notice if their food was moldy.
I don't know what ate the last one but, I did see two opossums last night so maybe they did?
Although the bones were pretty picked clean so maybe it was dead long enough for bugs to have cleaned it off?
I may try to send a few pictures of their set up.
Again you have to remember that I've been pretty busy recently so I might not notice as much as I would if I was not.
Thank y'all.
yellow stools can be a sign of blackhead
That's a fowl misconception. It has a 100% mortality rate for turkeys. Chickens can survive with a much higher survival rate. Although anything would be higher with a 100% mortality rate. It's the reason why it is not recommended to keep turkeys and chickens together.It's a disease Turkeys can get. Pretty sure it doesn't affect chickens except in really rare cases
