seems like that could be an option, but she’s not old and she’s not a meat bird so i don’t see how reasonably she could have contracted it. her coop has ventilation as well
i’ve been looking around for resources and i can’t find anything quite close and when i do the chicken always dies at the end. my past threads have gotten little to no support, and its this or the vet.
some information on the bird
