Baby Zebra Finches Dying?

I started raising Zebra finches two years ago. They are very prolific and everything has been fine until now. I have over 200 birds. The cages all started at about 3x3 feetand 6 foot tall. I've connected four of them. I would have a baby death once about every other month. Now all of a sudden I'm having two or three deaths every day.

There are no rodents, I'm in Southern California so it's not too cold. All the adults seem fine and healthy. Now I'm finding these baby birds dead and it's really sad. Any suggestions? Thank you.

This could be over a dozen different things like: Insects, disease, cold, allergic reaction, sometimes it's the cage and build up inside over time. Also it could be the toxins in the air. - www.wikihow.com/breed-zebra-finches

Maybe the cages need to be cleaned more thoroughly. Traces of what killed the first birds may still be there and are killing more birds.
