This morning 2 chickens are dead. 1 laying hen and one near laying pullet. Other birds are getting bubbly noses and are coughing/sneezing. The hen that died had swelling in her face and had a floppy comb. Her neck was kind of wonky looking. Some birds have light diarrhea. I'm setting up an appointment with the vet, but because there's only one avian vet for miles and miles... it'll take a while. I'm going to do the best I can with my vet, but what if it's avian flu? I've heard you have to put down whole flocks if it's detected in it. I live in Texas and I've heard cases are low here, so I'm a little hopeful... I'm just wondering, if it does happen to get detected in my birds, what do I do? If it happens to be something else I think I'll be fine... I'm just worried if I need to put them down...
