URGENT HELP NEEDED ON DYING FLOCK!!

Sick birds need to be inside where it's warm. The ideal temp of the cage should be no less than 80 degrees. Left outside in the cold they will die. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that if you bring her in that she'll live, but it is her only chance.

Definitely has not been any carcasses on the property of any description, certainly not in their run. The only decay they have been exposed to recently would be from the autumn leaves. Would this produce the bacteria?
Just been out again, and I can't get any response from her at all now. She's still alive barely, but is completely floppy. Not opening her eyes, head and limbs are just flopping around as if she is dead.
Have separated her and put her in a box with plenty of straw to keep her warm. No response to trying to put fluids in her mouth, no swallow response. Only other thing I can do tonight would be to try and tube feed her some sugar tonic water. I don't even have anything available with molasses content :-(
I think that rotting vegetation from compost beds can be a source, and probably anything where there is little air flow to the middle of it. So sorry about your chickens.

I read somewhere that one maggot with the toxin is enough to kill a full sized duck, but don't quote me on that!
