ive had 2 pullets die within 2 weeks of each other both same symptoms. Stopped eating and drinking, pale comb, puffed up and eventually died.

I have administered corrid in their water for a week, I also have wormed them 3 days ago. I don't know what to do!

Nothing in their environment has changed. They get ACV in their water every other week. I treat them with kid gloves and now I'm down to 6 pullets.

Any ideas?!
 
I used safe guard wormer, offered tuna, scrambled eggs etc....I'm at a loss. Is it a vitamin deficiency? What should I get?
 
They were about 20 weeks old. Still haven't gotten an egg.

They have no mites, all have been throughly checked. Her poop is green from not eating.

You poor thing, I am sorry you are losing birds.
Is taking one to a vet an option?
How much Safeguard did you use?

Can you post a few pictures of your chickens and your set up?
What type of food do you feed?
Can you try soaking it in water for a little while to make a mash then mix a little tuna in with it?
Would you be willing to tube feed them for now while you figure out what is causing them to pass?

Here is their set up. They have a 4x5 coop, 12x13 covered run and a 18x18 grassy area that they go out to every day supervised. Why is it so hard to keep chickens!?! Now I only have 4 full sized hens and 2 Bantams. I'm so bummed out. Everyone else is acting perfectly fine. This set up has been the same since day 1.
