Yeah, they are so young I think your instincts are right on. It could be something like the feed they have isn't balanced right, or the heat is high and they are stressed. I have the same addiction as you, it's just really relaxing! Our gal that died was almost a year old, she was a Buff orp in Phoenix, AZ. The vet said it could have been a combination of heat stress, overeating, potentially a slight vitamin deficiency from the constant drinking and panting. Just lots of variables, you know? You sound very aware of your girls' habits, which is so awesome :).

Sorry to hear about your loss! I live in Missouri, the weather has been in the 70s lately but of course you never know. I feed a mix of starter, medicated probiotics, grit, and then some mealworms and black oil sunflower seeds (only about a handful of those two treats a week).

Sucks to have to deal with Marek's.

Be careful with both the meal wirns and seeds...make sure you only offer a small amount once or twice a week.
Those are treats...think junk food.

Yup! They get about a handful of each a week.

One tablespoon size per bird is more than enough.

Fat birds suffer. Keep this in mind for the future.
