I have 5 pens of chickens (60 total chicks, hens ,and roosters) with at least one rooster in each pen. A month ago two roosters (not close to each other) started loosing their balance, then unable to walk, then died. One within two days of first sign, and the other a week after first sign. They were 1 and 2 years old. Two weeks later, a 1-1/2 year old rooster in a third pen went through the same. Now I have another rooster exhibiting paralysis in one leg. The only thing they all have in common is their feed. I often feed vegetable scraps, but I know which veggies not to feed and also know not to feed spoiled food. Is there some kind of disease that affects only roosters?
 
Is your flock vaccinated against Marek's disease? Have you added any new birds to them before this started happening?
