We've lost three pullets this week

[Kanga77510]

I have no idea what's going on. Three dead birds in a week. All young females, not into laying yet. We've lost two from the feed store and one we've hatched out in April. We find their bodies in the chicken house, no apparent signs of trauma.

Everyone else seems OK. I'm at a lost to what happened. It just sucks.

Are they showing any signs of not feeling well prior to you finding them dead? At their age and with you loosing several I'd be highly suspicious of coccidiosis. Might want to treat the rest with Corid asap. They often will not show signs of illness until they are so sick they can't hide it anymore, by then it's often to late to save them. That's where I'd start if it were my flock.
