Mareks is in feather dust so if you think that people who drive to the feed store from various coops may have it on their shoes and on their tires then you can see that its everywhere. The vaccine only works on the paralyzing brain tumors. Chickens still get tumors from it. Wild birds and...

Ivomec is NOT a great drug for Covid. It can actually do harm. Its a wormer and will work fine for round worms in peacocks. Cannot believe that someone would politicize a response about a sick bird.

...and prevents. This is what Tylan also treats, so it is worth mentioning.

Tylan 50 is likely going prescription only, from what I've heard. It could be unavailable because they have to change the label. I have had good luck sourcing Russian Tylan 50 on ebay. The next best is probably LA 200, but it's less specific for the respiratory illnesses even though they both...

sorry, that was a mispost...;-)

I think she meant roos. There are viruses that can effect laying but you would probably see some other problem. The vet that told you to kill your birds was stating what is taught to farm vets who serve poultry industry where they do all-in-all-out chicken keeping. That does not work with...

she is gaping...its from too much heat. Make sure they have water and keep an eye on the heat. make sure they can get away from it. They also do that sometimes when they have an upper respiratory infection. keep an eye on her...make sure her breathing isnt raspy...her nose or eyes are not...

I am in search of hatching eggs from GFF's Malines. Please let me know if you are breeding them. Please send pics! Thanks

I would stick a needle in it and see if you can aspirate anything out of it. If its an infection, even an older one, it could be drained. I would give an antibiotic such as Tylan 50 daily and keep it clean. Also give yogurt and probios...ACV and all that. If it aspirates pus, you may be able to...

You need to really hollow it out. get all the gunk out. if you have nail scissors, cut around the inside of the skin and try to pull out the middle. fill it with antibiotic cream and wrap it. Check in 4 or 5 days and repeat if it fills up again. Be careful of the tendons and cords when cutting...

If your birds dont get sick I wouldnt worry too much. If you go to the feed store, your tires, shoes, and clothes come into contact with these germs...wild birds fly over and and wild animals scamper through with these germs. You are not running a commercial poultry facility, so its not a cull...

Oh and for chickens, just soaking doesnt work...you have to cut the plug out. The thing about staph is that it makes the hard plug and if you dont get it out manually it will remain and keep coming back. it will never fully heal. inject tylan 50 directly into the foot and coat with neosporin and...

In chickens you soak along with the surgery to enable the pus and plug to come out easier...its actually easiest to do the operation on the sinkboard and hang the feet into the sink so you can run water over them. They bleed a lot if you do it right. That said, its very hard to treat in ducks...
