Ok Haunted55 and others..let's go back to the original thought here...the horse is out of the barn and why close the door. Now I obviously still have not introduced this Rooster to my hens. But I did walk in the room with the same clothes on. So lets say this is Coryza...if I get rid of the Roo..shouldn't I also get rid of my 2 hens? I mean I don't know what to do. If I get the rooster through this what do I do with him then. I put him with my hens...who might never have gotten sick to begin with. I get rid of Rooster and keep hens I can never bring any other bird in as long as the two hens are still alive. Man what a mistake I made. I thought that I seperated him enough but now I have risked my wonderful girls life.
So basically when you start with chickens....you can never add to them. You have to raise their eggs to expand the flock? WHat happens when your Rooster dies? How do you continue to breed your hens if your not suppose to bring outside birds into your flock?
I picked my 2 hens out from a group of 25 chickens when they were about 6 months old. They will be a year old in June I believe. They have never had a problem. This is truely frustrating and sad.
Again thank you all for your time and help.
