I bought 10 two months old broilers last week. On the first and second day, they were very active untill some days ago when i noticed that a broiler is not as active as others.
Then i seperated it and gave it some drugs as prescribed by a vet, but it died the next day.
Since that day, 5 broilers have died within FOUR days.
One died this morning and i also noticed that 3 broilers are already showing the same symptoms this morning.

If they die, there will be two broilers left within five days

they are showing these symptoms:
Sleeping frequently(they even walk while closing there eyes)
High temperature
They hardly breathe

They lose weight.

I feel ur pain bro, u probably bought chics that are not healthy! U need to talk to ur vet again! Next time be sure of ur source!

all symptoms are pointing towards GUMBORO VIRUS, if nt managed u may loose all.

You probably didn't notice on time. You didn't give enough details too. Condition of droppings? A picture of their environment maybe. Most likely a viral infection. A very good broad spectrum antibiotic like Doxy-gen 20/20 would have helped stop the mortality. Sorry about the loss!
