SICKNESS GOING AROUND FLOCK??

[Animalsanctuary10]

About a month ago we had a rooster that started acting weird. At first he was getting bullied by our other rooster but it didn’t look that serious so we just left it alone but then I went to let them out one morning and I didn’t see the rooster so I went looking for him and found him laying in our shed and he couldn’t balance on his feet and was really uncoordinated. I then separated him from the rest of them and gave him food and water (which he ate) and then a couple hours later he was dead. We couldn’t see anything physically wrong with him so it came to a shocker for us. Then a couple weeks late I saw one of our hens kind of acting weird. Separating herself from the others, not active, kind of “curling” up into her self and I thought she was being bullied so I ended up rehoming her but now another one of our hens is starting to act the same way.
