My hen Pecker sleeps with 7 others in 1 coop. I went outside today to find her shaking her head when i let the coop out - They are all free range - and when she turned to get water, for a split second I saw her eye was closed. Now we have 2 Red Star hens, 1 Red Star rooster, a California Grey, a Rhode Island Red, a Silver Laced Wyandotte Cockeral, and a Blue Andalusian living with her, and i got worried. I knelt down and called her over and she came. Then carefully I picked her up and looked at her eye, which she allowed me to do since her breed seeks human affection. I saw yellow around half of her eye, and bubbles. I got worried and went to look up what she had. She has MG (Mycoplasma gallisepticum) which can cause eyes to seal shut after a period of bubbles in the eye. And bubbles are the first symptom. Now I'm only a Junior in High school and I have 14 birds in total. They are all free ranged and they sleep in their age groups. (2 groups in total - 6 "Adults" in one - and 2 "Teens, 6 "Babies" - in the other). How do i keep her from spreading it. I have 2 coops, and no where to put her if she needs to be separated and the high today is 68, which is where its at right now, and the low is 53. How do i keep her safe, warm, and separated without causing harm or stress to her and the groups?? The names go in order from the pictures; (Penguin, Bella, Bambi, Pecker (the sick one), Oreo, Katelyn, Avocado, Cheddar, Silver, Smokey, Roo, Swaddles, Luna, and Caramel))
