What did you do with your flock today?

She died a couple hours ago.

So sorry popo

She laid probably once or twice a week. Thank you for this information, which can't really be found elsewhere. I am thankful for your vast knowledge.

You know if I can help I will. Not a vet though!
The low rate of eggs laying does suggest ALV (avian leukosis virus) as a possibility. The good news is that the virus is killed in the environment by most disinfectants and doesn't live long without a host anyway at ambient temperatures, so with good husbandry is unlikely to spread. Like I said, she could have died from a whole host of reasons but to be sure, I'd probably do a thorough clean of the coop and run.

Many antibiotics are pulled from stores.

This is a problem we've had for years over here. I ask anyone I know who's going to a country where you can buy otc to bring me some back.

I've bought antibiotics from here a couple times now. Overseas so no prescription needed.
