That’s awesome. Thank you!

Just following up on this thread to see what worked? As we are changing seasons here in utah I’m wondering if there is a possibility of plugging in a de-iCer to solar but so far all I’m finding is paying a fortune for a solar powered generator that’s out of stock.

I realized my original thread didn’t say what happened in the coming days. I had to end up culling 4 of them in one day. (While I was sick) because I didn’t want my remaining ones getting it. I thought I was doing good, because I cleaned out the entire coop, threw away the bedding, sprayed...

Hi! Thanks for checking in. I made contact with the seller and she refunded my money. Not a lot considering all the supplements I bought and the time, energy and quarantine items for extra pens I had to buy as well. I chose to keep my remaining 4, just lost another one two days ago. I have two...

I have not done testing. I am located in Utah.

I won’t introduce any chicks to the remaining birds I have. They will have their own space next spring with a new coop and new area of the yard. I plan on getting 10-12 (room for the occasional roo if I happen to get one) 🙈 I have cleaned everything out of their outside pen and completely...

I had respiratory disease wipe out 9/13 of my chickens. I realize I’m on borrowed time with my remaining 4. Since I’m starting over I have questions. Before I understood how contagious this was I was putting all their compost from the run into the opposite side of the yard into my main garden...

Thank you for this! I had to cull most my flock too wondering if I did the right thing. They are carriers for life. So frustrating. I have 4 left. Praying they don’t get it.

I feel like we bought chickens from the same same farm, then I read your from Canada 😂 yeah. You wrote exactly my story. This summer has been a nightMare. I’m holding onto 4 chickens I have left from the 13 I had. With every single method tried. It’s emotionally, mentally and physically...

I am following up with this to see what happened? My flock experienced the same symptoms. I have done everything and I’m down to 4 left from 13.

Poop on the walls? I dunno. It just seems like it would be nice to spray it down twice a year with a deep cleaning. 🙈

Yup! Made the same mistake this spring and bought 10 week old pullets from a small farm. I bought 10, and I’m down to 4 :( then added three to replace some along the way, not realizing that what the others had was so contagious and lost them all too. So discouraging. Next spring, chicks. I’m...

I’m in the same boat! I have tried EVERYTHING! Found Tylan powder from some online falconry place. After doing everything under the sun you mentioned earlier, bought every.single.supplement, quarantined, scrambled eggs, fermented food for 24 hours, garlic, oregano, thyme, everything…. For my...

Yeah, I just would like to be able to clean it out twice a year. Without them in it of course and it would be dry before putting them back in. But pressure spraying the walls down and putting new bedding and the old bedding in compost.
