today I came home for lunch, collected my eggs, chickens were fine. Approx 6 hours later three of my youngest (6mos) were dead.
Gnats are heavy now. I noticed some green tinted poop in the coop but they were out on fresh mowed grass 2 days ago. Hens didn't appear to have anything wrong but I didn't know about gnats at that point so didn't check noses. One older (2 yo) hen has gooey brown on her butt... but I'm not sure if they are stressed because of the gnats. They aren't going outside much. Any suggestions??? Don't want to lose any more of my flock (5 left)
