Hello buggles. I am just east of Baton Rouge in Walker.
I had bought 2 BO hens(Rosie & Izzy) & Izzy mysteriously had some sort of virus or something. My wife asked me to take Izzy to the vet, so I did & he said whatever Izzy had, she wouldn't recover from, so he put her down. Then I replaced her with another BO hen(Chloe) & bought a Black Sexed Link hen(Gerdy) as well. I found Chloe dead in the run with no visible signs of being attacked or harmed in anyway. Gerdy just one day was laying in the run & not moving at all,just laying there, which was odd because she was real skiddish. Gerdy ended up dying about an hour later, just stopped breathing. She also had no visible signs of being attacked or harmed. I just wonder if it was something they all had gotten for the local feed store I bought them from.
My coop ground was just a spot in the backyard. No fertilizer was used on the ground & no chemicals were used anywhere near the coop. I honestly believe it had to be something they picked up from the feed store, (atlest Izzy & Gerdy). As for Chloe, it could possibly be that she just died. I don't know, but I do need to get Rosie some company & I thank you for your advice on isolating the new hens when I get them, I never thought about that.
