Mites hide in the crevices of the coop and crawl out in the dark to suck the birds' blood. Check at night using a head lamp or flash light, you can also use double-sided adhesive tape along the underside of the roosting bars so the mites will get stuck to it on their way to the next meal.

Did you check the birds and their coop for poultry mites? They suck the blood of the birds at night leading to severe anemia and sudden death.

Check their feed for mold. What kind of water do you use for them and what water dispenser? Did you or anyone of your neighbours put out rat poison lately? Are the males housed near where poisonous critters/insects reside? If/When the next one dies, send him to your state vet lab for necropsy.
