    Dying Chicks at 3wk

    Feeding birds medicated feed for 16wk before being put into the flock is unrealistic. Am I wrong in understanding that once they get Cocci and then treated with meds like Corid they should be fine? Thanks Brandon

    Dying Chicks at 3wk

    The problem is not the adults with the creek. And I AGAIN understand they aren't going to drink the Corid because Ive already went through that when I treated all 200+ of them 3mo ago WHEN THE CREEK WASNT RUNNING with Corid. Previously stated in original post and reiterated in my previous...

    Dying Chicks at 3wk

    I know. This is why I said its hard for me to treat them right now with the spring creek running. So if ive ben feeding medicated feed which is supposed to build up an immunity to Cocci why do you think I have Cocci? Or could I be right that if I'm feeding feed that contains trace amounts of...

    Nice enough ppl. Shipping eggs is not their thing. I managed to salvage about 8 out of 3 doz. The ones that hatched were a bit of a mess. They convinced me to drive 4hrs one way as they had just received a new line and sold me on the fact they were going to replace the 3doz and give me an...

    It seems my state lab only tests for Avian Flu, Infuenza, Bronchitis and the Mycoplasmas and its far from free. Some tests are as much as $60ea. All respatory stuff. Fairly positive this isn't respatory related.

    Thanks for the replies guys. Im up on a mountain against state preserve lands. While I do live in the fertile farm lands of the lower Hudson Valley theres not much spraying going on these days. Mostly food awareness and Eagle pops coming back. I have called the Cornell CoOp extension to have...

    Dying Chicks at 3wk

    Something else that might help in a diagnosis is that we USED TO HAVE a flock of wild turkeys that would travel through our yard every morning and we had a Marans hen puff up and her comb wattles ect turned a weird crimson color a few weeks ago. Thanks again

    Dying Chicks at 3wk

    Hi everyone. Hope winter prep is going well. We have had a serious problem keeping chicks past 3wk this year. We have hatched and sold 100's with no issues or complaints. After we started having issues we even called and checked up on chicks that we had sold and no ones had a problem. We...

    Last night I came across a post about what to look for in chicks and adults for breeding good lines. I'm not breeding, mine are just pets, but one of the things to look for in chicks is that the slower to feather, usually means better lacing. Sounds good to me. I'll stop comparing her to the...

    I am usually pretty good at wing sexing as I've done it for myself and several others without much error but the BLRW throw me for a loop. I have and have had chicks you would swear were Roos. Long legged, no tail, slow feathering, even feather tips on wing and red combs at 4wk that turned into...

    I I have a pair from Foley that tend to spin off lots of darker blues down to charcoal. Out of the last 28 I hatched 2 were splash, 4 were correct blue and the other 22 are jet black-dark charcoal laced. You'll know when you get a black, the head fuzz is generally black with a touch of red...

    I'd like to see that link. And it's funny you say that about the APA. I was wondering how long? I know Foley was working on it but they changed the rules recently. I noticed that on a lot of breeds there is only a handful of years between first expositions and APA acceptance, and then in most...

    Cocci vac

    Well I looked high and low for the report from the NPIP with no luck. However, I think your right chick canoe. MG has no cell wall therefore can't live without a host cell due to some osmotic thing. BUT; if MG is brought on by bad ventilation and or stressors ect where did it come from to...

    Cocci vac

    The NPIP says they don't test for MG because its naturally in the soil?. So if birds are on the ground they say they would test positive even if birds were never sick. I'm still learning so I'm not disregarding any information or experiences I'm just trying to weed through it all. So I'm...
