Well I called OSU they said they needed to know what kind of test I wanted them to run they only do certain ones? I just want to know what it is. What do I tell them to test for?

I would suspect MG. They dont do blanket coverage? Perhaps a college veterinary school of medicine would be a better choice. Bloodwork could be sent in. You can call your county extension agent or state department of agriculture and get info if the tests can be done free or for a small fee and how to go about doing it.

Oregon state university don't do blanket coverage. I will try the state department of agriculture tomorrow the labs closed today already. It would be great to get them all tested. I noticed she stretches her neck and opens her beak like shes swallowing hard today I doubt that narrows it down. I guess I should wait till I find out what this is for sure before I talk to the lady I got the silkies from. She has a very nice farm you wouldn't think she would be selling sick chickens.
Thanks Jim

Here's a link that might help; establishing incubation and course times of specific diseases including MG.
