    Well all I can say is a massive THANK YOU to all your suggestions! I put out grit along with some small, freshly cut saplings. Opened the pop holes and gave them 'medicated' feed, not sure what the medication was as I got the feed in pre treated abgs from Wynnstey. The birds are now fine, no pecking and no other deaths. This year we'll be making another pen to spread the birds out even more as the most likely cause was pecking. Thanks again, Sion

    Picture of intestines as requested. Pop holes now open and i hope you're right, and pecking is the cause! Thanks for you're help and fast replies. I'll keep you posted Thanks, Sion

    Thanks again to you all. I've been up there again tonight and they're looking alright, all pretty perky, i forgot to mention that the birds that ae dying are all reasonably large ones and i suppose the "illness" comes on quickly or else there would be other signs? I'll get a pic of the guts when i get back from work tomorow.

    Thank guy's. I really apprieciate the help, i'll be up there first thing opening a couple of pop holes. I didn't think that that was the cause as we have'nt suffered with it before. They've always got plenty of food and water along with trees, brash and whole veg to ammuse them. Thanks, Sion

    All the birds are the same age, or supposed to be! It is the biggest pen but its been running for 4 years now and for the first 2 years it had 600 birds in it, but that could be it. If that is the problem then how could i fix it without removing any birds? Thanks, Sion

    They're acting normal, a little lethargic but hardly noticeable. Droppings are also normal but a little runny. They rear ends are all bloody as if they've been pecked but then the arse hole falls out and then they're intestine's come out usually after death but 2 have still been alive at this stage!! Manage dto get some pics up thankfully. Thanks, Sion

    Hi all, I know this is a bit cheeky, asking for help and i've not even introduced myself I've got two pens on my small rough shoot/syndicate, one with 200 poults and another with 400. The smallest pen is fine, with no deaths since we had them 2-3 weeks ago. The other was just the same untill 3 days ago when me and the other 'keeper' started finding dead ones everywhere. In the last 3 days we've found beteween 20 and 30 all with the same symptoms. All of their rear end look as if they're decomposing or being pecked and we have'nt got a clue what it is. This may be an obvious illness to yo
