Pullets suddenly dying.

[daydreamtime]

I live in Florida. We've lost 3 young pullets in 2 days they are all about 8 weeks old, one was a java, one was a polish, and one was unknown solid white, possibly a leghorn? Two died suddenly while we were out and we have no idea what happened they seemed fine a few hours before. The third suddenly became lethargic, drooling a lot and then it died. It was very fast. I want to save the rest of my birds from the same fate. Does anyone have suggestions? I haven't seen their poop because it was so fast, we have one that may be sick separated in a box for observation, it's a cochin. They are on purina medicated crumbles, and they get veggie treats, Healthy Hen Garden Veggies.

Were they vaccinated for Mareks? I'm so sorry

Yes.

Any chance for a necrospy?

Can you try to get a poop picture? Might be coccidiosis.

In the meantime I'd get them on some sav a chick or nutridrench.

I didn't think about it, and they've been buried already. Where would someone obtain that? I mean the necropsy.

I've got them on chick electrolytes and medicated feed, but I'm going to run to TSC before they close and see if I can get some things. They also have a little apple cider vinegar in their water.

I'll also try to get some poop pics.

Most states have a university that will coordinate with you. I'll check for you.

If there's a next one bag it plastic and put in the fridge, not the freezer.
