Hello I have 4 weeks growers succumbed to the symptoms of MD but they are going for testing soon. They are indoors and my question is will my other indoor pens and outdoor pens all have MD? I have a mix of young birds and adults both in and out
If the MD is confirmed I feel the best option is to breed for resistance but I am not exactly sure how to go about this as I am a relative newbie. The growers were Barred wyandotte bantams and I have 2 strains of adults so these are the birds I would like to breed resistance with.
I have a few other bits and bobs of lf growers and bantam pairs but I don't know what to do with them as I want to sell them but they might have MD although none have shown symptoms, what should I do?
If I am successful with breeding resistance with my barred Wyandotte bantams will the birds of this line still shed MD?
Does this mean I can never buy/sell a bird again?
It's very worrying for me
All advice greatly appreciated thanks
I hope you can understand what I have wrote
