I just did the roo in, now all we can do is wait...

I hope your flock is OK.

If I understand it correctly it's 48 hour wait so by Wednesday afternoon you should know, correct?

 

[GrassFarmerGalloway]

Yes! I'm optimistic now, because my chooks are looking great, and I'm getting along very well with these new quail that I have. You don't know how much fun quail are until you see one, and they're helping to lift my spirits!

And you guys are too!

I just keep thinking that your original flock wasn't stressed, hopefully they will be able to fight it off...

There's no fighting Coryza. Once a chicken has it, if it survives (depending upon the severity of the illness, 10-70% of your chickens can die) then they become carriers for life.

How long did you have the roo before you noticed the smell? Was he separated the whole time or mixed in with the flock.

Updated to say: Sorry just re-read post and I see he was quarantined! Very smart. I wouldn't worry about the chores as much as I would have worried if he was in with the flock. Wishing you all the best!
