The smell of the discharge with coryza is very distinctive. Once you smell it you won't forget it.

If coryza is in the neighborhood then you may end up with it.

Make sure you practice a good biosecurity system

I'm a little worried about that actually. The neighbor is about 10 meters away and his infected chicken is isolated. It's an imported chicken actually which is probably the reason why he's still keeping it.

Thanks for the advice!

At least coryza can be treated if aggressive.

Good luck with it.

Congrats Sir Oz,

How do you handle power outage with your bators, generator?

 

[ozexpat]

i use three truck batteries and a 12v-220v transformer

As I am not available full time, I am uncomfortable leaving a generator on the farm as they need good maintenance.

 

[toptom]

a single battery won`t be enough? would you mind sharing what battery model is this?

I have no clue on the truck battery models. they were just under 6000 pesos - big na

A single battery would be fine for a small well insulated incubator.

Small power outages of an hour or two won't k kill a hatch.

Even if frequent?
We have road construction projects so we have a weekly 8am-5pm power outages which our electricity provider announces.
