MysteryChicken's, Flock.

[MysteryChicken]

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.

Dottles was fine this morning(9:30am or 10:00am), found him dead on the coop floor by the waterer at 1:30pm.

Planning to go too my first poultry show this year, after all the surprise stuff with the flocks are over.

Good news is whatever is going through my coops is starting to clear up fairly quickly.

Their coop is getting cleaned today, their coop frosts inside so much it gets soggy when it thaws, which is a problem I have to fix once I am able too. Money issues are annoying.
It's a good sign that the walls are too thin.

One reason I love Easter Eggers.

A few birds in the flock has been hit the hardest with this. They've gotten swollen eyes/faces. Some abit more pronounced then others.
Hardest hit is Beardy(Easter Egger), & the OEGBs.
All I can do is manage their congestion with Vet-RX, & hope they clear this on their own.

Will keep you all updated on their recovery.
If I lose a few birds to this, I can always get more later on.
Still not clear on how it got to the flocks. There's a few possibilities: Feed Bags, Tracking in Contaminated Bird Poo without knowing it, & Contaminated Straw Bedding.

It's abit disappointing having this happen to the birds you worked hard in on.

Are you sure it’s not coryza? Mine just went through that and it wasn’t pleasant

It's not Coryza. Coryza causes pus to fill the eye sockets, it's not that.
