I am sorry you had to go through this. I Have decided to not buy any more adult birds and only get chicks or hatch out my own eggs. I know I will have to bring in new blood but will do it with day old chicks. I am going to not have any more older birds coming into my flock to much of a risk with illness. I am also not one to throw antibiotics at every little thing. I would have to be sure that it was bacterial and not a virus but I also don't think that keeping an animal alive just so I feel better is the answer either I made the hard choice to cull on of my girls due to infection. It was the best for her. Good luck with your new chicks and hope this never happens to you again.
