Fowl Cholera

[Brb1369]

Has anyone had fowl cholera sickness in their flock? I’m 90% sure one of my hens died from it today. She was perfectly fine yesterday morning and last night had purple comb and wattles, mucous coming out of her mouth, a large mass between her wattles, yellow, watery, poop, and very lethargic and could barely stand.

I read it is highly contagious and now I’m worried about the rest of my chickens

Welcome To BYC

I'm sorry to hear about your hen. If would be a very good idea to wrap the body in plastic, refrigerate it and take or send it to your state lab for a diagnosis. This will give you the most information.
