INFECTIOUS BURSAL DISEASE (IBD) OR GUMBORO

 Infectious bursal disease (IBD), also known as Gumboro, is a highly contagious viral infection that is found in chicken flocks in most countries.
The severity of the disease will depend on the age and breed of chicken and the virulence of the virus. Signs of the disease can include a rapid drop in feed and water consumption, mucoid (slimy) diarrhoea with soiled vent feathers, ruffled feathers, listless chicks with unsteady gait or sitting in hunched position, picking at own vent and sleeping with beak touching the floor.
