Thanks, tryn to figure how the site works

at the top of the emergency forum, click on "start/create new thread" at the top of the forum page. I can't remember if it's start or create, but you get the idea!

Erhh...
Well, I went out to collect the eggs and take a look at the Sunrise. Sunrise races and greets me at the gate, then follows me into the house, begging for treats. Her neck swelling has gone down, and she's bubbling over with vitality. Does anyone here know if chickens go intermittent the way motors sometimes do? If she does she keep me jumpy for weeks.

I'd still like to know what killed the other three, and how to prevent/cure it for the future.

Worm all your birds with valbazen cattle/sheep wormer or safeguard liquid goat wormer. Administer either orally undiluted using a syringe without a needle. Dosage for either product is 1/2cc for standard size birds, 1/4cc for smaller birds. Redose them again in 10 days with either wormer. Discard eggs 14 days after the last dosing.

An update here if anyone wonders how this turned out.
Sunrise was fine, and no other chickens showed any signs of disease like it.
She only recently died, killed when a nest fell on her.
