Sussex illness

ben.springer · **Posted:** Thu Aug 20, 2015 9:48 am

I have all light sussex and wyandottes with no feathers, sneezing, swelling in one eye, dirty bums and very non active. I was wondering if any other members experienced similar multi health issues and what to do? Thanks for any help. :-D

Ben, by the sounds you should kill them all and start over with healthy chooks

Yes have to agree they are full of issues and if you purchased locally [by the sounds of all the issues you did] then do not buy from there ever again,

go south and get decent quality, pure and healthy Sussex and Wyandottes

Sounds like they came from the widebay area in Qld? I have heard they are shocking up that way and not pure bred [smilie=a_holycrap.gif]

That sounds dreadful mate!
Whereabouts did you buy the stock from? Have you told them about it?
They may know what the condition is and how to treat it. Regardless you should quarantine your flock in the meantime of course.
