Maybe.What should we do for the other birds

 

[backyardbirds394]

How would you contain disease in a flock? Change the water? What about area and food?

She’s getting better

It sounds like it could be botulism. Can you give her a laxative (1 tsp epsom salt mixed with 1 cup of water or activated charcoal)

To my knowledge botulism is caused by a toxin in wrot. As in moldy old dead mice and maggots can contain the toxin too

Ide check for moldy wrotten spots or dead animals, Mabye rake their run and change their water and clean everything

Is their coop moldy?

Botulism is a toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria. It's commonly found in soil, spoiled food, and decaying animal and plant matter.
