We just brought home two silkies from Feather Your Nest in Lakeland and then found a post on craigslist saying her birds are sick and wiped out someones original flock.
Here's the link
One of the chicks has sneezed a few times with a little wetness coming out. We're terrified that we have brought something bad home to our girls. The two silkies are indoors at this point but I just read that some of the diseases are HIGHLY contagious and even if treated the birds are carriers for life. They said that they give their chicks the fowlpox vaccine but who knows now.
Can anyone advise what we should do at this point???
