I don't know much about cows, but generally dairy cows are much more docile than beef cows.

Keep away from your other chickens. Change your shoes and clothes if you go near their coop. Some diseases are THAT contagious.
Are there any other symptoms yet? You usually can't tell what they have until the disease progresses.
This has some quick descriptions to help diagnose if you are keeping them. https://morningchores.com/chicken-diseases/

Wishing, as it papas poultry?
That is total BS. Of course travel can cause stress, but that only brings out the disease that they were ALREADY INFECTED WITH. It did NOT likely come from your end, as you kept them isolated and the incubation period seems too short. (How long have you had them?) Ergo, she sold you infected birds! Ask her how many times this has happened to others she has sold. You should get a refund or replacement birds if you are going to cull, but I wouldn't want replacement birds from her, because she obviously has disease carriers in her flock and it will just happen again.


This happened to me too. Older chicks had a 6 hr drive to get here (I met them partway) and by the next day they were sneezing. I called the breeder and he ran right out to check on his birds, and sure enough, there was one pen that was sneezing that had been near the chicks. He culled them all and sent one off for necropsy... results showed CRD (I think?) and I didn't want it in my flock so I culled them. He sent replacements, free shipping, AFTER a waiting period to ensure his flock was clear. Responsible guy.
The pen he culled was a recent purchase from a woman he had bought from before. He kept them semi-isolated, but got lax since he's had birds from this source before with no trouble. He contacted her, and she claimed that none of her birds were sick. Of course. Denial is rampant in the chicken world, but that lady sent you infected birds. She doesn't want a bad reputation, does she?

No twins lol we’ve had 2 sets of twins. Both mamas bellies were dragging the ground. Hayley is petite.

Beef cows lol

dairy is bred for production. Beef is bred for size.
