    Fowl pox in chick?

    Aren't MG infected birds carriers for life also? And if that's the case wouldn't it be better to cull this chick?

    Fowl pox in chick?

    My flock is a closed flock, no other chickens are introduced into it. My flock is where it is now because I hatch my own eggs..No one else who has chickens has been in my yard either so Im not sure where this came from if it's MG..Can't they get it from wild birds?

    Fowl pox in chick?

    My Silkie hen hatched this chick, the original egg came from one of my EEs. I had a fowl pox outbreak about 2 months ago(before these chicks hatched) It ran it's course and my flock is healthy now. There's no nasal discharge and no raspy breathing.

    Fowl pox in chick?

    It showed up literally overnight like fowl pox would do. I've mixed Rooster Booster Vitamins & Electrolytes, and the Sav A Chick supplements in it's water. I don't have any antibiotics and my TSC doesn't carry anything stronger then these supplements and I don't have any vets around me that...

    Fowl pox in rooster

    Is this fowl pox? This literally showed up within the last 2 days. From my understanding it isn't curable, it's something they get over themselves in several weeks and it's spread mainly by mosquitoes? Is the anything extra I can do to keep this from causing a secondary infection? Non of my...

    Best way to ship live chicks

    The chicks would be shipped out a day old at most, preferably earlier then that. You don't need to be NPIP certified to ship in you're own state though right? Just if you're shipping out of state?

    Best way to ship live chicks

    So I've never shipped chicks before and was wondering what was the best and safest way. I've head different opinions on what the minimum number of chicks should be, when to add heat packs, and I've heard, to be politically correct, you should have a NPIP or vet certificate when shipping birds...

    Air cell way to small for day 16? Pictures

    All the eggs look like this except for one quail egg. The quail egg looks normal with a big air cell. The incubator has stayed steady between 40-45% for 15 out of the 16 days. One day during the 16 days I wasn't at home for most of the day and when I came back it was at 54%. I took some water...

    Air cell way to small for day 16? Pictures

    This egg is at day 16 and this air cell seems really small to me? I couldn't get a good picture when I candled it so I outlined it instead. My incubator's been at around 40-45% humidity. Should I drop the humidity to around 30% before lockdown or is that to close to do any good?
