Yesterday I had my found one of my Cornish cross dead with is intestines pushed out. Today I found three more. Search the internet for causes but did not find anything. Been Raising Cornish cross for 10 years and having my worst year ever. have always purchased the meat birds and layers from Hoovers hatchery. They always have water, and they tend to drink less at night. I check them three times a day. So this issue is new to me.

Any ideas?
 
Any chance you have a predator?

I know this sounds morbid, but if you have photos - post a few.

Do they look like they have been pecked or pulled?
Any birds acting constipated?

Anything different this year - different feed, number of birds the same, different housing - any changes/additions you have made?
