Isolate unexposed flocks to prevent virus spread, as crates, equipment, or exposed birds likely introduce the disease. The incubation period runs 18 to 36 hours with most birds ill within 24 hours. Birds gasp and cough, eye production drops, and a few die. hens resume production after one to two weeks.
