Unexplained Deaths (I have one isolated now)(Keeps Getting Weirder!!!)

[mjdtexan]

Yep, once I removed that little sliver of wood from their water coop I have not had any more issues. The one pullet that was bleeding alot had a little blood left on her when I stuck her back into population got picked on immediatly and those other girls drew blood just that fast. I guess they peck at each other when they smell blood. I re-seperated her, let her heal, did the neosporin thing, and now she is back in population.

I honestly think it was that little sliver of wood but I am keeping a keen eye out just in case.

Thank every one of you for yalls help. If nothing else my coop is in better shape, and I have more chicken knowledge.

Oh yeah, I did replace thier rooosting branches with 2x4's. They seem to like that.

Well, that was a weird thread/story indeed. I think we all learned something.

Glad things are OK for you now, anyway.
