Hi all,
My original post questioned why my 6 hens (red sexlinks) have not layed. 2 ended up dying on me and I am pretty sure it was due to complications from URI.
I contacted seller and he replaced all hens for new hens. After a few days, I did get 1-3 eggs per day, which is great. These new hens are Plymouth Rocks.
After another week, one of these new hens contracted same signs and symptoms. Took her out and treating with Baytril and Terramycin. After 4 days, she looks and acts so much better!
When can I reintroduce her to the flock? I believe there is another hen starting to show similar signs and they will keep passing it around to each other. I do not want to keep rotating the hens and quarantine them. I do not want to give them back either. They stopped laying passed few days.
Thanks all!
