every year I move my birds from the breeding room to un outside aviary for moulting and resting. it's been over a month since I moved them and until today, I lost periodically 2 cocks and 3 hens.
The strange thing is... all the birds I lost are older than 1,5 year, I didn't lost a single chick and this is confusing me.
any suggestions?

I forgot to mention the only syptoms I manage to Check are lethargy and depression and probably lost of appetite.

As you say yourself re older versus younger birds. Most unusual. Though losing more hens than cocks is regretably common.

exactly, is unusual. actually I'm trying to find guidance to my thoughts.
As I lost only older birds until now, probably I don't have virus or bacterial problem or airsac mites, because I would see also my chicks and young birds have issues too.
So I believe is something with stress, from moving and molting.
To be honest I did a treatment with Enroxyn 10% (baytril) And I think I saw some improvement to some older birds, more alive and more active now.
