your chickens behavior sounds similar to mine and most likely is mycoplasma. the state vet told me tylan will work as masking the disease for a bit but then it gets use to the tylan and then it becomes defective as time goes on and your birds end up suffering til there death. another reason i...

oh yeah i really didnt think of the silent carriers. the method of sacrifice seems like it would work well. i guess in the end you can never beat disease though just try different methods and hope for the best. i think i just had bad luck on my side this time around. hopefully my 2nd flock will...

sounds like a good deal but i want to hatch my chicks. that way they know me from the very start and i can tame them and could pick them up quiet easily (being wheelchair bound is hard to catch birds lol). dang 7.5 year i didnt even know chickens live that long i guess i still have lots to learn...

yeah definitely learned my lesson in taking in birds that i dont know where they came from and if anyone asks me again they are just going have to be dumped in the desert. it was definitely hard putting them down especially when they were running to me for protection from my neighbors who was...

alright thank Dawg seems as though you know alot about chicken health. this site and members should be thankful to have you here i know i am.

well just got my test results back and out of the 5 birds tested they tested positive for M. galllisepticum and M. synoviae looks like i will be culling my whole flock of 16 bird :(. anyone know what i should do with bodies to get rid of the disease after culling (bury, burn, etc)?

i thought about using tylan and letting the chickens be but after thinking i cant eat the eggs or hatch them and how i would be putting the neighbors chickens at risk when they are only a welded wire fence away i think it would be best to cull since there is no cure.

i used a pellet gun to cull a hen the other day. gotta get a direct hit in the top of head though.

yes i read both links and they were very informative, thank you very much for them. the thing i dont get that it mentioned and you stated is it dont last long especially in heated environments and here in AZ it gets up to 115 degrees in the summer how are the cases here expanding with such hot...

yeah its a bummer but better sooner then later this is my first flock and they only about 2 months to 9 months.

thanks Dawg for the info looks like i just might have to cull my birds next week when the results come. the bad part is they are eating, drinking and doing everything chickens should so its going to be hard just to put them down i would have no problem doing it if they were showing more harsh...

Well i just got done with testing of my birds who are sick, by the state vet here in AZ and from what the vet saw he thinks they have Mycoplasma gallisepticum infection which appearantly is going around here in AZ. aparently it doesnt do much to the chicken just gives them cough and weezy...
