Good MG Info...
Sorry to hear you lost her. You did what you can.
Bleach works for a coop and some use Oxine (I think that's the name). Some diseases won't last more than a few days outside of the chickens so I wouldn't worry to much about the sanitizing part.
After I lost my first flock every time a new...
There is only one way to be sure you have or don't have MG/MS in your flock and that is to test. Most states will do it for little or no cost.
If those symptoms only lasted a few days and none of your other chickens have shown signs in a year then I wouldn't be too concerned.
Assuming just...

We don't know how long they live yet. Jenn has been working on this project for a while and doesn't share much with us. I'd be protective of them too if they were mine.

Ok, tear in my eye from your son's word... What a sweet child. Regardless of the outcome on this bird the lessons and love you are teaching your child is priceless.
It's funny that you mention worms. In another thread a user named Flowerchild59 posted her experience with worms and how they...
Sorry to hear it wasn't better news but it really wasn't any news at all. Vets just don't know chickens. We've seen this over and over again.
I just reread this thread and saw you never mentioned TylanD. Was Tetracycline what the vet recommended? It's not very effective against...
Good thread.
I had similar results with raising Freedom Rangers. I love those birds. The females were more consistent and stayed in a tighter weight range. The males varied more but were much larger.
The extra fat you mentioned is a function of their age and is desirable to most people. It...
You can bring live birds to the lab for a necropsy and they will cull. There is a fee but if you talk to the state vet she will be able to get most of it covered by the state under some chicken program she has.
I know if the state finds AI they will come out and cull for you...
