I feel so much better now, I have a momma hen and 6 babies in a 4x8 run with a dog house that has hay and lots of shavings. Was just outside and watching them they are all running around and no shivering or constant cheeping and even though they're only just over a month old, they seem to be...

I was afraid that would be what you guys would say and I basically just wanted to have someone tell me I was wrong! I had already come to that conclusion and really was looking for a way out. Do I need to cull everybody that came in contact with the guys who are sick? I have no idea how I would...
I'm just lost even after reading up on the stuff and I don't know if I got this right but the birds will be carriers and infect any other birds that are brought in? I'm hoping that this doesn't wipe out the whole flock. I've separated the sick birds and disinfected all feeders, coop , waterers...
