Possible Guinea Eggs in "Quail" Batch?

[Granny Hatchet]

i have lost about 6 chickens in the past couple days. i am not going to incubate any more for a long time. i am chicken poor now anyway but, i lost the white sumatra hen. still have the roo, no idea what is going on but i suspect weather plats a roll.

I hate losing one of a mating pair. Especially if it's a hen! I wouldn't want to keep around an extra roo, but at least sumatras are pretty.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

ya, it sucks, maybe i can mate him with a phoenix. what ya think?

why dont you ask your mom if she thinks temps going from 70s to 30s at night would kill off my chickens? adolescents and month olds. fully feathered about 3 months i guess. no symptoms

 

[Cheyen]

30 degrees is nothing to a chicken unless they're sick or something. If you're worried, though, I would bring the youngest ones inside.

they are dying so fast. in the coop and the barn. the weather was all i could think of. feed maybe?

I was reading and laughing and then......poor Granny Hatchet I'm sorry this is happening

 

[Cheyen]

I doubt it's the weather. Chickens are very cold hardy. Where are you keeping their feed? If moisture is getting to it, maybe it's growing some mildew or mold or something. If they aren't showing any symptoms, I'm stumped.

I have to pull my drop trays tomorrow.

its new feed, same place i always keep it. its dry. this morning i found 2 and this afternoon 2 more. i dont get it. when my mom was sick they were being ignored and when she passed i tried to play catch up as far as cleaning and such and thats when they started dying. no chemicals, just scraping
