I'd rather not risk spreading it accidentally to someone and have their poor chickens getting sick too, so talked to my mother, and we are going to cull and start over. I've read that this is airborne, so how far can it travel? I have another pen of chickens about a foot away, that probably...

Ok got the results back, both the jubilee rooster i bought and the EE hen are positive for Mycoplasma gallisepticum. Another EE hen had a bubbles in her eye a couple of days ago, so we pulled her out too. The EE hen from last time I posted has regained her vision in her eye, but lots of...

Alright thanks for the help.
