Hi! We came home yesterday to 3 dead chickens. All about 24 weeks old.
All seemed fine before work at morning feed, chipper and prancing around. No one was lethargic, everyone looked perfect.
I lost a barred rock, silver laced Wyandotte, and an olive egger.
Now I have several more that look poor.
I have 2 more barred rocks that are hovering the water and excessively drinking to the point of spitting up water. Their crops are HUGE and water filled. Not interested in eating and relatively lethargic. At first we assuming that it was the heat. I am in Louisiana and it is like HELL FIRE here right now.
We have been icing their water, extra shade, and adding fans to the coop and run.
The poorly ones have diarrhea and lowered chests when they walk.
What can I do for my girls?
