Lost 2 chickens in 3 days. Not from animal attack.

Who do i send my chickens off to so i can find out what is killing them, before I lose my whole flock?

Sorry for your loss. You can send them to the state poultry lab at Kissimmee, but check with U of FL as well. Keep the body wrapped in plastic bags, cold in a cooler with ice packs, but do not freeze. Here is a list of state vets:

What symptoms have you seen? How old are the birds that died? Have you checked to see if your feed could have gotten slightly wet and molded?

They are about a 8 months now. Checking food, but its new. We go through a bag every 2 weeks.

No mold.

How many do you have?
What are the dimensions of the space they are in? Just checking to see if they are too crowded.
What are you feeding them?

How old were they? Have they started laying or are about to lay? What symptoms have you noticed (if you have)? Was there any clues or signs on their bodies that could’ve caused their death? What kind of bedding are you using? Do they get fresh clean water daily? Sorry for asking so many questions, but answering them can help a lot
