Pullorum disease with unusual signs in two backyard chicken flocks.
Atypical pullorum disease in two backyard chicken flocks occurred as sudden death of many adult birds in one backyard chicken flock and chronic wasting with high mortality in a second flock. Chicks had been added to both flocks for several months before losses occurred. The chicks, which were not affected, came from a previously infected hatchery that did not totally depopulate.
