    I'd contact your state's poultry extension to arrange for a necropsy. Clearly something is going on and a necropsy is the best way to get to the bottom of it. In the mean time, put one of them in a garbage bag and keep them in the fridge (don't freeze) until you send them off

    Rooster removal and replacement

    I agree, cull him and go with the nice older rooster. Your current boy is likely to get worse and if you hatch chicks from the current rooster, they might inherit his aggressive tendencies

    Eye issue should I panic?

    As for what's wrong, I'd reach out to your state poultry extension for testing options. We can speculate all day, but testing will give you definite answers Also again, don't blame yourself. These things happen and illness can strike a 12 week old just as easily as a 7 week old, waiting...

    Fermented feed for chickens

    It's just kahm yeast, harmless and completely fine to feed the birds (although it can smell a bit). Feed it to the birds and start over if it bothers you, otherwise just ignore it

    Best small breeds for my urban backyard

    Talkativeness is more of an individual trait than a breed trait. Some hens are talkers and some aren't. The egg song is also going to be loud regardless. I also wouldn't write off standard birds as they don't require that much more room than bantams. I'd also recommend orpingtons and easter...
