All my chickens have died!

From the link above.
All bird owners, whether commercial producers or backyard enthusiasts, should continue to practice good biosecurity, prevent contact between their birds and wild birds, and immediately report sick birds or unusual bird deaths to State/Federal officials, either through the state veterinarian at 701-328-2655 or your private veterinarian.

Well, the last 2 are. They just passed the other day and I wanted to get to the bottom of it.

They need to be refrigerated but not frozen.

So sorry to hear about your birds passing by the way, best thing you can do is overall do good biosecurity, often signs of avian influenza (should there be signs) is nasal discharge, sneezing, coughing, reduced egg production, lack of energy, and high mortality rate in your flock.

yes, this is the only waay to know for sure.
@Kiki has a good list.




Do you mean avian influenza?

Thread '➡ NECROPSY and disease testing STATE LAB website info.' https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...sease-testing-state-lab-website-info.1236884/

Your state lab is listed in the link above.
State labs are almost always cheaper than dealing directly with a vet.


What exactly were you feeding your birds and what exact breed were they?

It's not called Avian so please use the proper words so you don't confuse people.
