A couple weeks ago i started loosing my 10 week old chicks. I walked into my coup one day and seen one laying on it's back dead. There was no evidence of foul play.
The very next day i had walked out to my coup, there I had found two more chicks dead. One was on it's back, the other on its side. Quickly i cleaned out all the litter inside the coup and replaced it with new litter.
Until today no other chickens were effected. I thought i was safe. I noticed earlier today that one of my buff orps (a little over a year old) had a darkening comb. The chicken was slightly lethargic.
Later in the day I saw the same chicken laying down in a awkward spot. I watched as her head drooped like she was trying to sleep. Immediately I grabbed her and put her in isolation. She didn't even bother to fight (which is very weird). I gave her sugar water to try to give her some energy, but as i was walking back inside she started violently flying around her isolation cage. I could tell she was in pain so I ran back inside to grab the gun to put her down. When i reached the isolation area, I found the hen on her back and vomit near her head. She was dead.
Can anyone please tell me what disease this is?
