I'm very worried for my chickens, in the past two weeks, three of my chickens have had various problems. The first one was one of my isa brown hens, who I found in the pen lying on the ground. She wouldn't walk, so I put her in a separate pen just in case. She was like this for nine days, and never layed any eggs as far as I know. She would only eat tomato and grapes with some cooked chicken, and she always held her tail down.
The next one seems like she had a stroke. She can't use her left wing any more, and a couple days ago she started limping. So far she hasn't had any improvement.
The third one was a old English game rooster. He was just found dead in the back of the pen one day. He was only one year old, and his father is still alive and ok. This one really puzzles me because it's not the first time this has happened. This summer I had four of my old English game die. One got out the pen and disappeared, the other three were just found dead in the pen. Two on one day and one on another.
Does anyone have any ideas? I was thinking a snake in the bantam pen and I shouldn't use later feed( which I recently learned caused problems) in the isa Browns pen.
