My friend just had 3 of his 4 Pullets die. First one showed signs something was wrong last Friday (May 19) & by Sunday afternoon she passed. They didn’t bother coming to get Corid powder from me until Saturday evening & didn’t quarantine the sick bird like I advised them to. Then over the next 2 days, 2 more passed & by Wednesday only 1 remained but was showing signs of recovery.
They had purchased 4 other Pullets from a local farm near us but they weren’t supposed to be ready until June. They just sent me a picture of the 4 new additions with their chicken who just almost died less than a week ago.
Am I being dramatic? I feel like this was a terrible idea but I don’t know how to explain why it’s not a good idea & what they should have done differently. Or am I wrong & it will be okay? I know there’s a chance it may be fine regardless but I feel like this could also be a risk.
