I had a opossum kill 5 of mine. Are their heads gone when you find them dead?

 

[cpolash]

No nothing looks wron gwith them this morning all were alive i went out to check on them a few minutes ago it was laying outside dead

Maybe your chicken had a stuck egg, That can cause them to die, Also, mites can too. Maybe she had mites.

Since you just moved them outside it's possible that you have cocci in your soil.
Have you seen any abnormal/runny/mucousy/bloody droppings?

I dont see anything like that i just switched there feeders and the attacked the feeder so im hoping they were just not eating enough i thought maybe they were slowing down because they were outside grazing on bugs and such but after seeing them go nuts on there old feeder i think there were not getting enough food we had two of the floor plastic floor feeds with the hole for them to get the food and with 16 bird i think possibly some were getting pushed off

Ive got one that is still acting weak so out some food for her seperate is it possible for chickens to just not eat if they dont like the feeder

 

[KaylorFarms]

I think maybe their not eating enough. My chickens get a cup of food each a day.

I switched feeders and seperated a few that seem to not be doing the greatest hopefully this will help we will se come tomorrow
