Most people that I've seen take good care of their flocks and have pretty healthy birds. I have seen people asking for advice with sneezing birds and wry neck so chances are that MG is already in the area. I know 2 people that have Meraks + flocks as well, they are keeping a closed flock now. I will see who pulls through and what the vet says and go from there. If it's not a new infection I suppose the sudden extended rain and cold could have stressed them, but I also started locking them in their coops after a raccoon got in the run and killed my oldest hen. Would being stuck in the coop until I let them out be stressful enough to weaken them? The coop isn't a great size because previously they only slept and laid in it, but now they spend about and extra hour to two hours in it in them morning than they were before.
