Found my OEGB roo dead this morning.

An LL flock is a normal flock except for breeding since embryo mortality is so high. We just buy our baby chicks.

Once you get new chicks, keep them out from under any adult hen so her viral load isn't transferred to the chicks. What they are exposed to on the floor of coops and runs is enough to help them develop resistance.

No chicken may be rehomed from the flock as you do not want to spread LL to other flocks. And you do not want to spread the virus by wearing the same shoes you wear in your run and coop to the feed store. This is how LL gets into other flocks. The virus lives several days on floors and can "walk" home on shoes.

The rules are simple. Get used to them and you will find no compelling reason to get anxious over it.

Ok, that sounds easy enough. I haven't been wearing my chicken boots anywhere but in my coops/runs. I haven't rehomed any birds either so looks like I'm on the right track!
