Have you ever culled a whole flock becuase of illness??

[speckledhen]

Thank you for understanding and saying that. Just seems I'm always the "doom and gloom" person in these threads.

Well it is not your fault whether the answer is positive or negative as long as it is the right one or leads someone in the right direction. You changed my whole thought on this subject.

Sorry I got off topic......back to the thread.

Thanks to all of you for your support. I appreciate it so much.

I know someone here who has had to cull her entire flock and she is someone who tried to practice good biosecurity, so it can happen to anyone if it can happen to her. Hope I am never in that position nor any of you.

Yeah but if people listened to you, especially morons like me, we wouldn't
be culling our entire flocks.

We would have done some simple things
to prevent infection.

Hey speckled hen, what do you think is going on with chicks that kind of have "bubbley" eyes and lethargic? Thanks anyone for answering

I am not a vet, so all I can say is that there are several diseases that present that way. Maybe this chart will help:
