    They are lethargic too! heads down.

    Organic vs. Non-GMO: It's an all natural chicken eggs!

    Great reply! and that's about how I feel too! Organic has become an advertiser's word rather that a real usable word.

    Organic vs. Non-GMO: It's an all natural chicken eggs!

    How can an egg fresh from a chicken be anything other that organic? There is no way to produce a fake or hybrid egg! This question has been posed to me several times and I wanted more input from the masses. I am currently advertising and selling chicken eggs here: http://TexasNaturalEggs.com...

    How to cull my entire flock of 60+ chickens?

    I've had about 40 eggs hatch and I noticed at least 10 chicks died without showing any reason for them dieing. I think (think) it's the MG getting them... No symptoms until death and when I come out in morning I have a new dead bird. But the ones that have lived have seemed all ok.

    I got that letter from Callahan's who said it came directly to them from Ideal.

    How to cull my entire flock of 60+ chickens?

    Sorta giving up... Just lost interest in the battle. Still feeding them and collecting eggs. But for as many birds as I have I get way less eggs than I should.

    How to cull my entire flock of 60+ chickens?

    Well I just can't kill them all knowing I could just get new sick birds or get clean birds that get sick from my neighbors. So I'm treating them. All the older birds are no longer showing signs. It's passed through about 3/4 of my teenagers (broilers). And I think we are almost done with this...

    How to cull my entire flock of 60+ chickens?

    $10.75 total cost for tests on 5 birds for MM / MS, just an hour drive... same day response though. Quote: Went to Callahan's and was told that 80% of the chickens grown on open farms have it (in this area). If culling entire flock have to replace neighbors birds too... we share a fence where...

    How to cull my entire flock of 60+ chickens?

    WOW! Thank you for your responses. I called Texas A&M and they gave me another number for Gonzales office (A&M). I spoke with a doctor there and he has agreed to take 5 of my birds and get samples (keeping the birds alive). The charges for all the test will be less than $25 - wow this is...

    How to cull my entire flock of 60+ chickens?

    Thank you for the responses. I spent some time looking at the above links and a few others... I also called several local vets and even the state vet. It seems the state vet will only test for Avian Flu and Marek's and 1 other that was not on my list of suspected causes. He told me that based on...

    How to cull my entire flock of 60+ chickens?

    I'm new to chickens. Got my first 14 hens (production reds) and 2 roosters (true reds) about 6 months ago. They were all about 4 months old when purchased them. Then added 27 chicks of several breeds (ameraucanas, barred plymouth rocks and true reds)... then 10 more welsummer chicks... then a...
