Roosters dying

[Rooster run]

Hi I am new to this site as a member but have often been on here for questions I had. I decided to join since there are so many knowledgable people here. In the last two months I have lost three roosters and no hens. Is there a disease that just roosters get? Thanks

Welcome to BYC! I'm not sure of any of the top of my head. Try posting your questions in the emergency and diseases section. They might know there. Best luck for your flock!

Hello and Welcome To BYC! X2, you might want to try posting about the symptoms the roosters that died had on the Emergencies forum.

Welcome to BYC - could the roosters be fighting and stressing one another?

What symptoms did the dying roosters have? Were they of different breeds than the hens. Were some vaccinated for Mareks, and others not? Some breeds of chickens can have a natural immunity to Mareks, or so I have read. Were these sudden deaths?

If you lose another I would suggest you get a necropsy done.

Do you have guineas? They are notorious for chasing and harassing roosters to death.
