Important question about Coryza and moving chickens to another coop??

[lcw]

I have 2 coops. In one of the coops some of the chickens had Coryza. In another there is only 2 chickens who are super healthy.

Well I have 1 hen who is sitting on 4 Phoenix eggs (also the breed of the 2 in the new coop). The hen who is sitting on the Phoenix eggs is in the other coop where the chickens had Coryza.

I want to move the hen with her eggs to the other coop with the 2 Phoenix's and I was wondering since she is in the other coop will she have Coryza somewhere in her and could she give it to my Phoenix's???

I really hope not.... ): .... And I really need to know this ASAP!

P.S. She's NEVER had Coryza herself.

I've read that they had to have Coryza and recovered to be carriers. What exactly were you infected birds symptom? I have something horrible going on with mine and can NOT figure it out.

Coryza can live in the ground for a while depending on the conditions. You really need to disinfect everything with bleach solution and let it dry for a couple weeks before you put anything else in there. The coop, the waterer, the feeder, EVERYTHING. A chicken can have Coryza for weeks without ever showing a sign. How do you know that's what they had for sure. If a chicken ever has coryza it will be a carrier for life, whick means in can and will infect everything it comes in contact with. Click on the link in my sig line and read up on it.
