Yeah, that probably would've been easier.

Welp, looks like I'm gonna put my birds under quarantine for a good while. Seeing possible bird flu symptoms again. Also my sister's Silkie Dottles suddenly died today, so yeah, I think that is an automatic clue.

Not sure how the flocks picked it up, but there's a number of possibilities.

Birds that are presenting some symptoms currently are Maximus, Severus, Big Fatty(Dwarf Malay), Beardy, & possibly Goliath(He's got heart troubles, so not confident he's got it).

Breeding for immunity is something that I am also currently working on, so culling the entire flock isn't something I'm doing cuz you can't breed for immunity without the birds.

I'll keep you all updated.

Gonna give it 2 months to run it's course.

sorry to hear this. My flock is just getting over something that killed four of them. Pretty sure it was coryza.

Yeah. At least I only lost one so far.
I had what looked to be bird flu go through my flock once in Michigan(LPAI), but only had to put down 2 birds because they weren't gonna kick it.
I know there's many strains of Avian Influenza, so hard knowing what strain this maybe.

I think I lost most of them just because they were little (about 9 weeks). The adult hen I lost was never up to snuff so that was kind of a relief. I lost another during this time frame but by lost I mean actually have no idea what happened to her because I was out of town and didn’t tell my husband to count them every night I couldn’t imagine him running around looking for chickens in the dark so I told him specifically not to bother.
