They are looking really good. Will they be carriers of the disease or is this over and done with with their curent treatments?
Sick dying chicks. **UPDATE 8-7 PICS pg. 19**

Thank you MissP! I think they are looking good. At least they are acting like normal chicks and chickens now!
Some might very well be carriers, but not all of them. After their antibiotics are finished this Sat. (7-26), I have to vaccinate them and wait 4 wks. to give a vaccination booster. "IF" after the second vaccination any of them show signs or symptoms of being ill, I will have to cull those ones. They will be the carriers. I also will have to keep a close eye on my flock for the next year and will have to cull anyone who shows signs of being ill, because those are the carriers. This won't officially be over until next summer. Dr. Brown told me that in a years time, all carriers should be eliminated from my flock and things should be back to normal. In the mean time, I will have to vaccinate any new chicks that I hatch.

EXCELLENT information for everyone, Stacey. Glad you had the Doc's help.

I ended up with D'Uccles on a fluke and LOVE them. They are little escape artists though...
My daughters boyfriend calls them the bell-bottom chickens.

They look great! I'm glad things are settling down for you and hopefully you won't have to many that are carriers!
