    PT vs NPIP and effects of positive test

    Thanks everyone for making me feel better about PT. New possible diseases make me uneasy and when I read one thing on the internet about IF your birds have it that you coukd have to euthanize your entire flock my heart sank because I love my birds. The breeding and selling is my 9 yr old's...

    PT vs NPIP and effects of positive test

    Most definitely not selling birds under the radar :) new diseases just scare me when I know nothing about them. No IC in our flock. That was a bird I kept away from my other birds during quarantine period before introducing. Glad I did because he presented extreme symptoms of IC and I culled...

    PT vs NPIP and effects of positive test

    1) Pox was mosquito born... had to let that one run its course. No pop ups in a year. 2) Lice wasn't until wild birds nested in a crack in the roof of our coop. Or could have come from neighbor guinea fowl... their flock has lice too. Pretty prevalent out here in the country with so many...

    PT vs NPIP and effects of positive test

    We practice quarantine on any new birds before introduced to our flock. Had a roo we got from someone present with IC and had to cull and inform the people we got him from so they were aware for their birds. Been through fowl pox and coccidosis too... as well as lice (omg that sucks).

    PT vs NPIP and effects of positive test

    My biggest fear is having to euthanize my babies (my chickens) because my daughter wants to sell chicks and we are required to pass a PT test when all I see is CDC warnings left and right about backyard chickens being dangerous.

    PT vs NPIP and effects of positive test

    That makes me nervous because one vet on a vet page responded that my sweet Molly probably has Salmonella infection as a result of EYP from an egg busting inside her. She is probably within a year from passing, but I certainly dont want to lose all of my flock because of one bird that got...
