    Update to Sudden Death of My Flock

    That’s insane. I’m sorry you had to go through it. Hopefully, it wasn’t close to your property.

    Update to Sudden Death of My Flock

    They never had mites, lice, marek, Newcastle, worms, or fly strike. Those chickens were cared for, and there’s nothing we could have done except to just lock them away. If anyone looked on the map, our county and neighboring counties has never had bird flu outbreaks in over 3 years. The...

    Update to Sudden Death of My Flock

    Our guard was up. Our neighbors guards were up. They’ve been raising chickens for decades without issue. We’ve never had sick ducks, eggs stuck, or any other issue with our chickens. The only thing I would have done differently is shoot every Muscovy duck that set foot on my property.

    Update to Sudden Death of My Flock

    I know there’s a place to report, and it’s already been reported. We paid for testing out of our own pockets bc they advised us to. They’re not being transparent on the spread of bird flu. I would have personally shot every Muscovy duck on my property if this outbreak was shared to the public...

    Update to Sudden Death of My Flock

    I posted earlier on here and social media on what I can do. Well, I lost more than 25 chickens in 4-5 days. I have only 2 roosters and 1 hen, which hasn’t moved from her perch. Our neighbors found a bunch of dead Muscovy ducks in our area. Our neighbors’ chickens are also starting to die off...

    Sudden death in chickens

    Definitely agreed. I was planning on disinfecting our whole house because we have parrots and a dog, who loves to be outside and inside as well. Most of the +20 birds have died in the coup. Only 4-5 have died outside. Our prized rooster, who has been lethargic for a few days, is still alive...

    Sudden death in chickens

    It’s in the 50s and up to 70s during the day. We also rarely receive rain this time of the year, but we live in a humid state. Our rooster, who we’ve been treating with corrid drops consistently, is still alive. The others are drinking from the water bowl with corrid. However, we now lost 4...

    Sudden death in chickens

    We will. Our properties are side by side to each other, and it’s only separated by a chain fence. We plan on testing them. We only have like a handful of chickens left, and I don’t expect them to survive before somebody tests and diagnoses the deceased chickens. I was just hoping that I could...

    Sudden death in chickens

    Thank you. Only one of them had the yellow discharge. Some of them had green feces. Our favorite rooster is still alive. He had symptoms early Monday morning and we gave him corrid directly. He’s resting in a separate cage but still appears lethargic. The ones that died today may not have drank...

    Sudden death in chickens

    There are no dead Muscovy, crows or our white ducks. The two guinea fowl deaths look different than the chickens. One of them had its eyes pecked out, which is why we thought we had too many roosters.

    Sudden death in chickens

    Hi everyone, my husband and I have been raising chickens for the last 4 years, and we’ve never experienced problems with any of them dying like this before. We are losing 2-4 hens and roosters per day since Saturday. The chickens appear lethargic within hours of their passing. One of them is...
