    I think my hen is sabotaging her eggs

    Flock has mycoplasma, down to one chicken

    Hello! I got three pullets from a breeder this spring, and then added a rooster a few weeks later. Over the summer, all but one hen died. I took each of them to vet, but ultimately, the vet tested and found they had a mycoplasma infection, and had likely gotten it from the breeder’s flock. I...
