well, one of the 4 (3 week old) buff orphingtons has passed.
it was found by my 7 y/o son this morning. the 2 black australorp and the 2 barred rock seem fine
no obvious signs or symptoms of illness noted, or so i could tell.
there looked like an occasional loose poop, which i thought was ceacal poop, maybe not...
there was a sour smell to the vomitus of the dead bird. bowel obstruction?
now the question, is my whole flock suspect?
should i separate any who have suspect poop?
should i chalk it up to a mortality success rate?
suggestions please
Jeffrey
ps: none of the poop looks like the pics in this reference
