    NPIP P/T, AI, MG & MS Certified Lavender (American Type) Orpington hatching eggs dozen+

    US and Puerto Rico only. The birds are from my own line, I have been working with them 6+ years. You can see pictures at Pheonix Farms on FB. www.facebook.com/PheonixFarms All eggs are fresh and unwashed. It rains here a lot in Oregon, so any debris would be mud. My coops are cleaned daily...

    Be very careful when you are buying from unknown people. I cannot say this enough. There are people out there that have no issue selling diseased birds/chicks, Marek's, MG, MS, etc. Some going so far as to dope their birds up on antibiotics prior to sale so they may "look" healthy. The best...

    I have some in my line of American standard BBS that have black combs until @ 6 months old. Do you have a picture of your girl now?

    Ha! I was just looking at that today right before the ODA vet came for testing. I guess between ODA and the USDA they are sending vets to the stores. Really cool!

    MG Certified hatcheries/breeders?

    It sounds right to me in uncomplicated cases, I would think it would be higher when combined with an E. Coli infection. But we need to remember that the embryo and chick deaths should factor into the equation.

    MG Certified hatcheries/breeders?

    Here is what I have found. Even talking to the state vet's etc. People like to say "95% of backyard flocks have MG". But no where, not once has any study been conducted to verify that statement. Ask them how they come up with that number. They do not have a source. Not once. Ever...

    MG Certified hatcheries/breeders?

    Unfortunately, most people think people are a little nutty when having a conversation like ours. It is when they are effected or someone close to them, that they start to pay attention. I dodged the bullet here. Literally came this close >< to having to cull $1000's worth of birds (they are...

    MG Certified hatcheries/breeders?

    I have Orpingtons (different varieties) and just started a sizzle pen this year. They are soooo cute! You cannot advertise as being MG free unless you are certified. I suggest you advertise as testing for disease. Then have pictures of the lab reports within the advertisement to be able to...
