    Sick Hen - Lethargic, stands w/ eyes closed

    I've been badly overlookin' things in your thread, for which I apologize ... Primary concern: The respiratory problems may be the result of closin' up the coop more tightly, which dramatically increases humidity in colder weather, and concentrates anything that may become airborne, and further...

    Sick Hen - Lethargic, stands w/ eyes closed

    Yeah ... you never wanna bring new birds directly around your flock(s), and you wanna clean up both before and after you go near 'em ... change out your shoes, too. Hopefully, this will work itself out, 'n they'll all be fine. You were wise to isolate her, but it's most probably somethin'...
