So we just got off the phone with a friend of ours who has almost two hundred chickens and sells eggs. We have given him a few roosters. He said his whole flock has had one of these respiratory illnesses and treated them (but of course are carriers), so now that could be where we brought it in from. We just gave him a healthy young rooster about three weeks ago and dropped it off. I tell ya, dumb stuff.
So, I'm going to contact Oregon State University tomorrow about sending in one for a necropsy to see which it is and then I will treat them for what it is and ponder on whether to keep a closed flock or not. What a stupidly stressful situation. I miss farming sheep. =)
