We don't have any adults that are sick, and the chicks are separated from the rest. Plus we don't have a vet that sees farm animals.I would again recommend that you get a chick tested for MG which can begin to show symptoms around 3 weeks of age in chicks. Consider that your flock are carriers, and I would recommend that you close your flock to any new chickens, and not to give away or sell any since even non-affected chicks will be lifetime carriers. That is the best reason to know what disease you are dealing with, since chickens can have one or more diseases at the same time. Different medicines are required for each disease. If you lose a chicken, then you can get it tested during a necropsy by the state vet. The state vet can also recommend how to get a sick one tested. There is a testing center in Harrisonburg. Here are links for state vets and testing centers:
