Sad, sad, sad. We can pull all the tricks out of the bag, and still lose a chicken. Some things are not treatable and other things may have gone to far by the time the symptoms are noticeable. The best way to protect your remaining chickens is to get this chicken necropsied. Put her body in a...

You can call the lab at UC Davis and inquire if there is a state lab nearer to LA. There has to be.
