Something is wrong with my birds?

[ChikyHeather]

Hello, i am new to the site, though i have read several articles on here previously. I got purchased some 4 week old mixed variety of chickens about a month ago. The last couple weeks, several of them have been acting strange. They are very sleepy, they puff themselves up and just look like they are sleeping standing up. They are very weak, kinda wobbly and loosing their balance. A couple of them are sneezing pretty regularly. I have some quarantined off from the others, and a couple have died. I have no idea what is going on...does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi

Glad you could join the flock! Sorry to hear you have some sick birds and that 2 have died
Have you checked for things like mites in their coop and on them for any mites etc? Are they eating and drinking? What food have you got them on? Have you checked their poop to see what it's like?

You can post in the emergencies injuries disease and cure section of the forum. Here is the link ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/10/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures

Add as much detail as you can from the above questions too. A picture could really help so other members can get a look of your sick birds.

Wishing you the very best of luck and I hope you can find the problem and get them well again soon.

Enjoy BYC and all the chicken chat
