We are at the fair with my daughters very first Pullet. She's been here for 4 days. There are several sick chickens here that we personally spotted this morning. The sick chickens are still here this afternoon. Should we go against the "rules" set by the fair and take our chicken home tonight? Can we even "SAFELY" bring our chicken home to our flock? This is my daughters first year in 4H- this will devastate her if her chicken/s die! Sadly, we will never do this again! Plz help ASAP!!!!! Just heard it's likely that it's not contagious, or that they got too hot, I want to add that we love this fair, it's extraordinarily clean and run by genuine animal lovers who take utmost care of animals! They are addressing the issue as I type. I just want to be secure my child's trust that I will do whatever needed to take care of her pet, not farm animal!

. Pleased you joined our community! Wow...that's a tough predicament. I would certainly go against the rules if the health of my bird and ultimately my flock were at risk. You really need to quarantine the one you take home from the fair so if it happens to catch whatever the others had, it doesn't sweep the rest of your flock. Best of luck to you!
