Can hens carry/pass on their past illnesses through their fertile eggs/chicks?

Apologies if my post inferred that you were not concerned for other peoples' flock - I understand that is why you are asking.

The bottom line is a vets diagnosis - only then can you make plans.

Good luck

No don't be sorry at all! Sometimes it hard to comprehend emotions through text. Thanks to you and everyone for your input. I think I will definitely be bringing my trio to the vet! I'll unfortunately have to make a phone call to my chick provider to let him know what's happened too

Here are photos of my 9 month old Australorp hens. The second photo is the hen that seems worse off then any of the other hens. It almost seems a little under developed compared to the first hen...?

Could the one on the right be getting pecked at around the face?
