We understand that and we know how hard this must be for you. I'm so sad that this has happened. You had the best of intentions. I don't know if there is any point in culling her to tell you the truth, if she is not suffering. She has probably already infected your flock.

Thing is she was never near my flock at all i got her and quarantined her straight away but i I got hen from someone who I thought was a good source who is having sorta the same issues but she’s doing way better she eats drinks wants to be with the flock but I noticed she was sneezing and her breathing was very like rough I qaurinted her too gave her some water with garlic aregano oil and vetrx hopefully she sounds a little better but right now I snuck up on me flocks rooster and he has a runny nose too but it’s not bad looks like it’s barely coming in so tomorrow morning I’m going to give them the same type of water and him some vet rx all over where he needs it

Oh that's wonderful, I'm sorry I didn't realize she was quarantined! And you washed your hands and changed your clothes and shoes after handling her before going in to your chickens? That's great news! I understand VetRX is kind of like Vicks for chickens. I hope all that helps. Any chance of getting your rooster in to see a vet, maybe get him on some antibiotics?

@Wyorp Rock a question for you. Once a MG+ flock all dies out, how long should an owner wait before starting over with new birds? Does MG remain in the soil, or in the coop for a period of time?

I think 2 weeks is the period you should wait.
Clean all surfaces, disinfect. Most use Virkon S or Oxine.

Thank you. I thought it was much longer than that!

Don't go crazy! You can only do what you can do. Try to get some rest. Tomorrow's another day and nothing is going to change overnight. Get some sleep.
