I have a mixed breed flock, and a mysterious internal infection is killing my hens. Back in June, my 3 year old French black Marans started acting off. It soon became apparent that she was severely ill. I took her to a vet who diagnosed her with a severe abdominal infection. Her abdomen was distended and filled with fluid. Then in August my 9-1/2 yo Australorp showed similar symptoms. I took her to a vet that dealt with chickens, and he said salpingitis, gave me some antibiotics and pain meds. I did what I could for her, and the antibiotics appeared to help. But a few weeks later she was sick again, and died before I could get her to the vet. Then, while I was traveling my 3 yo red laced Wyandotte died. Now my flock is down to three pullets, one last 3 year old hen and a rooster. I don’t know what is killing them.
Any advice would be welcome.
