Her lump has about doubled in size now, about the size of a blueberry. It is firm, not soft. Her comb has more color in it nowadays, but she is still limping and has not laid any eggs still. The SLM they had are much better, but still working on that. No new symptoms however. Any new guesses on...

Is this a virus that sticks around? In other words, should I refrain from getting new chickens or chicks on the property until these birds pass?

Another symptom: She has not laid in about a month. Which is unusual for her, as it does not get very cold here in Austin, TX.

Hello! My Bantam Cochin Hen has been limping for a week or so now. When she stands in place, she lifts the one leg. I have checked for bumble foot and that doesn't seem to be the case. She seemed completely fine otherwise, so I was hoping the issue would resolve itself. However, overt he past...

Can anyone offer any helpful input on my sick hen?
