when is Chicken with Coryza not safe to return to flock?

[Eggcessive]

I would not breed until I had one tested to identify the disease. Mycoplasma or MG symptoms can be very similar to coryza. MG can pass through hatching eggs. So it would be best to find out that you don’t have MG first. What state are you in? You may add that to your profile on the profile page.

Did you put the new chickens right in the coop with the rest of the flock, or did you quarantine them at first? If they have been a part of the flock, then, yes the others could be exposed. You may have to wait and see, but I would at least cull the sick birds and send them off to the state vet for a necropsy. Then you would get a diagnosis of exactly what disease(s) is present. Sorry that you are dealing with this, and this the reason I do not buy chickens from others, only chicks from a hatchery.

Thank you for your information this is definitely such a hard lesson learned. I was so excited to see my chickens with baby chicks. Im going to have the hen tested to make sure what I need to do and what my options could possibility be but sounds like not good.

Of course I have set up an appointment to have her tested. I just opened my account and will add information here soon. Im in northern Colorado. Thank you for your information.
