Today, I will be swabbing the Easter chicks for MG as they are 3 weeks old now. Please pray that the results comes back negative and the experiment had worked. I will not get the results back for two weeks! It will be a long wait. sad.png

thanks for being brave enough to share your experience, so hopefully some of us can learn from them. I will be taking away the importance of quarantine, as I am planning to pick up a few birds at a swap soon. this was an eerie reminder.

 

again, thanks so much for sharing, I wish you the best of luck in rebuilding your flock. I almost teared up reading about your last pullet that you euthanized :(

Wow. This thread has really caught my interest. I hope your test comes back negative, Daron!

I am dealing with illness here, too. One hen died, and another is recovering. I had a necropsy done on the hen that died, and she had some kind of massive reproductive infection, but also sinusitis. I am now waiting for results of a lung culture, to find out if there is a respiratory disease that could be spreading among my flock. So far, the only other sign of illness, is in a Speckled Sussex, which is the same breed that died. She acts healthy, but occasionally makes a weird coughing noise that has me concerned. I should get the lung culture results this week.

Thank you all. smile.png But I was helping my parents with the rental house project, and had to go to work at the dairy farm, so I was not able to swab the chicks today, I will tomorrow as I have the day off. yesss.gif

Our bull calves are doing great, but getting into trouble lately by escaping and neighbors calling us saying that there are cows on their yard. barnie.gif But got the fence fix, so hopefully no more escapes in a very looong time.


Here are the escapees- These were taken last week.

They are 5 months old now.

We got a heifer 3 weeks ago!!!

Meet Bella!
She is an Angus/Guernsey cross. She is due in a month for her first calf! We got her to be a family cow.
I have been spoiling her, by giving her an apple everyday, and lots of back scratches. love.gif

I was weed wracking the weeds under the fence, and Bella saw what I was doing, and came running to find out what I was doing.

Also, we got American Guinea Hogs 2 weeks ago!!

I love them!!
