What do you gain by testing them?
You then get to kill the rest that are fine?

Many times, I've had a chicken get inexplicably ill, wander around for a few days in a daze, then just wind down and die. Been keeping chickens for 12 years. It hasn't ever been the start of a great die off in my experience. Things go wrong with chickens, just like with people.

I just cleaned out the 5 gal water jug. There was some algae in it. They have plenty of shade and there's a breeze. They have plenty of food. I just gave them a handful of Swiss Chard. All 4 of them seem fine at the moment.
Thanks for all the advice.

You then get to kill the rest that are fine? This exactly ! Even worse is .gov will go around and kill all the chickens within x number of miles regardless if there is any disease. If the government wasn’t so heavy handed most flocks will become immune after an initial die off. We’d have more resistant and robust herds and flocks if the government would be so helpful !

Avian flu has been killing our chicken here in Alaska. JMHO
Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

Another chicken died yesterday. Heat stroke. I tried holding it under cool water (up to the neck) for about 10 minutes and then let her float in the water for an hour or so in an effort to revive her. Then I put her on a pallet in front of the fan. She seemed to perk up a bit and even moved around a little but was dead the next day. That's 3 dead this summer.
They have plenty of fresh water, a fan and a mister, but when it's 108° there's not much that can be done.

104F here the other day, they're a little heat stress but have a number of shady places to stay. A couple of the shady places get a squirt with the garden hose to add some cooling moisture.
