I think her age had considerably more to do with it than her diet, and would be surprised if any of her other birds came down with it, unless they too are considerably old.
To me, the problem with just a commercial feed, is then they taste like grocery store eggs. I feed mine scraps all the time. Never had this happen, but I don't have 5 year old hens either.

i’ll be sure to pay extra close attention to my flock now as i have another 5 year old brown and a buff orp who is 3-4. looks like i got my young stock at just the right time as my older girls days are likely more numbered than i originally thought.I think her age had considerably more to do with it than her diet, and would be surprised if any of her other birds came down with it, unless they too are considerably old.

Mrs K
thank you for the reassurance about the treats.
