I adopted a blue laced red wyandotte who turned out to be very sick with something. Rattle in the chest, very snotty, sneezing and sniffling. I had her in quarantine for weeks, and she finally recovered. As soon as I stuck her in the yard, the other two hens got sick but to a much...
I’ve seen many many posts on here about handling a sick flock and options to treat/close the flock or cull. I have not seen too many follow up posts regarding those who chose to keep/treat/close their flock

Hello guys,
I've had my flock since 3 months and took well care of them. I pet them everyday for hours at a time. They're basically my flock of cats to me.
I brought a newcommer home yesterday. I made a big mistake. I was trusting the raiser and I didn't know about infectious chicken diseases...
