Avian flu Illinois?

[MichalK]

We have had a mature hen and a pullet drop dead within 24 hours of eachother, without injury. We have 20 chickens. They free range. The polish pullet was isolated. The mature comet was free range. What to do?

You might want to have a necropsy done. How long have they been dead?

I found them yesterday and this morning.

If another one dies, refrigerate the body as soon as you find it. Then you can send it to a University near you for a necropsy.
