ILT would explain the plug. Did you see Henrietta ever shake her head to try and loosen and expel the plug? Did you ever see any bloody mucus on the walls inside your coop? Here's info on ILT: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3782274/If in fact it's ILT, they recommend cleaning waterers and water lines to automatic waterers with hydrogen peroxide. The slime build up contains resistant virus and the hydrogen peroxide will take care of it. Me, I hope they're wrong with the suspected ILT diagnosis. You've been though so much already  |

She never shook her head. The only blood i ever seen in the coop was dried on the roost board when 3 bredas broke their foot feathers. Broken quills on their toes showed the blood .
She wasnt acting off for me to worry that much. The only issue was no eggs for 3 months then the day she died she laid a olive green egg. Her last eggs before that i incubated and got 2 chicks from that are in my growout pen

Yea I think the heat puts a lot of stress on animals. Makes them vulnerable to anything.

Yea. I had two with wet pox and they had stinky breath. It wasn't a putrid smell but a smell that was not nice. And they had a lot of thick secretions.

I googled the plug too and came up with a bunch of stuff but most of the things were respiratory related, fowl pox was one in the list also

Per vet. State said negative for Avian Influenza and negative for Newcastle Disease.
I asked the vet to find out the price for IB, ILT and MG

That's all they did? What about testing for things like infection, female problems, cancer, etc.

I always go to the simplest explanation. I would say over 95% of the time it's something really simple. I know that wet pox can kill them with an air blockage. With mine it appeared to be in the back of their throat and further down and was thick like paste. The only thing to do is to take care of them and hope they live past it. There's one other thing that wet pox can look like. It's canker.
Some things are simple but not something you think of right off. Think about the simplist to the least probable.

I'd rather deal with wet pox than canker.

So did i kill her by deworming everyone?.. I dont know what you mean? Didnt you state that you saw a roundworm in feces and was going to worm your birds...AFTER Henrietta had already died? |

Worms sap the life out of chickens and weaken their immune system, making chickens vulnerable to all kinds of diseases. In most situations, people tend to treat the disease symptoms rather than the root problem, easy to forget; worms.
Then people ask me; (for example) What has worms got to do with a respiratory disease? That's after I've asked them, when was the last time you wormed your birds? I'm usually ignored. They only want to know what antibiotic to use to treat their sick birds. Sigh.
