Devastating chicken massacre on the homestead

Welcome new subscribers!
My chickens were fine for the first year. Then I just keep getting hit with chicken loss. Right now I feel at a loss as to what to do. I'm getting meat chickens next week, so my brooders will be used for a month. It takes at least 6 months for hens to start laying, sometimes more.
I feel very guilty for not doing more to protect them. These are horrible lessons I'm learning.

That’s hard news. So sorry

Thank you. I'm still not over it. You kinda have a hard time getting those images out of your head, you know? :(

@@HHHomestead I sure do. August 13 2019, I was raising commercial broilers for JBS. Had a power outage for 13 minutes, walked in to chickens laying down and some already dead. Got power back, at the end of the day we had removed 13,000 dead chickens. I can still picture walking in that door.
