SportingShooter 0 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Evening Folks, Have any of you keepers out there seen a rise in the number of birds being picked up dead in the pens, seemingly healthy with plenty of weight on? I've never known as many as this year and I can only put it down to the prolonged heat. They've had their usual wormer, "Tylan" and always plenty of water in the drinkers, These are ex-laying birds so should be fairly hardy compared to poults but I've picked up five or ten every time I've been to the pens over the last fortnight, Can't think what else can be done...
