I have 25 bobs that are about 16-17 months old and for the past four days i have been going in to check on them and have found a dead female.  All of the dead birds are fully feathered and do not look beat up.  PLEASE HELP. :angel:

Just a few questions for me to know and I'll tell you why later.

Are they on wire or ground?

Do you medicate their water?

When they are sick do you notice them puffing up really big?

Thanks,

Caleb

They are on the ground and i do medicate them year round.  I rake the bottom of their pen weekly and give them clean water avery two days. I have nevernoticed them puffing up when they are sick.

Could possibly be Enteritis? Hammer them with feed with BMD in it, and put some terramycin in thier water. That should cover most of the possibilities. I would rule out worms, as they are off the ground.
