Well, over the last couple days I've been culling my entire flock of chickens, starting with the worst ones due to Coryza. Now my concern is the 52 baby chicks I have in a brooder in another location. They haven't been around the infected chickens, but I handled the infected chickens and then handled the chicks many times (before I was aware of the infection). So now I am really concerned about this flock of baby chicks which have not been cheap and is something I'd been saving up for over a year now. Is there any way to tell if they are infected or am I probably being more paranoid than I should? Is this something that'd show up or just lay dormant until a later date?
I do plan on building another coop on the other side of the property for this new group while I figure out how to expose/disinfect the old coop, sand, etc.
Any thoughts are very appreciated!
