for those of you who have been reading about my chickens who have been dying strangely i am posting my results of my 4th chicken that died. the last post i put on here was my silkie who died of a tumor. i got my laced wyandotte back and the autopsy person said that she died of gout. What is gout? i know that humans get it but is this contagious to other chickens and if so how do you treat it...
