I am highly suspecting infectious bronchitis now as I got a slightly deformed egg today, luckily it is a max 5% mortality disease from what I have read and my birds were very mildly affected with no real signs of illness let alone deaths. And I am so glad they won't be carriers for life! I...

After just over a month symptoms subsided to mere occasional head flicks. All chicks born since exposure have caught it and are currently just exhibiting the head flicks and mild occasional sneezing. So whatever this bug is it's quite contagious, but the symptoms are few and very very mild...

Well the chicks are still mildly sick, I am not sure if some have recovered or not as it is hard to keep track of who is who in a flock of 40 preteen silkies, there is still enough sneezing and slight heavy breathing going on to not be allergies. No one has gotten worse, at first glance there...
