I just went out to my coop and inspected all birds for symptoms. I took the 3 that had symptoms and culled them. I took away their food and water, I will sterilize them and return them in the morning. I will keep culling until the symptoms stop showing up.
I really hate this.... A VERY VALUABLE lesson has been learned. No new birds will enter my flock until they have been isolated for a month.
the sad thing is only one of the 10 new birds have been affected thus far. the other 4 (thus far) have been from my very original flock that I raised from week old chicks.
I REALLY hope that it is canker and not a simple cold that I have been killing my hens for.
