Hi,
Can anyone help me please?
I purchased a gold partridge Brahma breeding group around a month ago. There was 1 rooster and 5 hens. The rooster is around 1yo and the hens are 18 months.
Around 2 weeks ago I was putting them away in the coop and found the first hen dead in the coop (next to but not in the nesting boxes). I thought it must be the heat as it’s been very hot and opened the pen into our yard with heaps of shade and started using ice bricks in the water.
Today, exact same thing has happened. Another hen dead in the coop in nearly the exact same spot. This one had fluid coming from its beak.
All looked fine this morning when I let them out.
There is a pen of silkies on one side and layers on the other and they have been fine.
Please help me work out what’s going on before I lose the entire breeding group.
Thanks
