    Disinfecting coop after Mycoplasma Synovaie

    Hey all, I have depopulated after an M.S. outbreak. How do I properly disinfect the coop and run before adding new chicks? Everything I have read is for mycoplasma gallisepticum and it seems like it lasts on surfaces longer than mycoplasma synovaie. I have read that MS only can last 4 days...

    6 week old Wyandotte sex?

    Hey all, I have a 6 week old Wyandotte whose gender is a mystery to me. What do you guys think? Some redness in comb and wattles but has not changed much in a week. My Dominique (another rose comb) has about the same color comb and wattles, and I am pretty sure it's a girl.

    VA- Bielefelder hen from MS positive flock needs a home.

    I have a super sweet Bielefelder hen laying daily. She is the last one left from a Mycoplasma Synoviae positive flock and she's pretty lonely. I thought I would try to find her another suitable flock before we have to cull. Know anyone with an MS flock that may be willing to take her?

    Wobbly 2 day old chick, falls on back

    Hello, I received some day old hatchlings through the post yesterday and one little chick stands a bit odd. Sometimes I see her stand straight up like a duck and her legs look a bit wide. She pecks at herself on the rear, like at the back of where her hocks attach to the rest of her. When she...

    Can you test birds for mycoplasma when they are asymptomatic?

    I have two healthy (looking) hens left out of six chicks I purchased last spring. The first bird I sent for a necropsy came back positive for M.S. (PCR). The last bird I sent in for testing in December, with similar symptoms was negative for M.S. I want to see if the two girls I have now are...

    Cochin seems uncoordinated and awkward

    My 14 week old Cochin pullet seems very uncoordinated. When all the chicks first started roosting, I came out and saw her on the top roost bar (3-4 ft high). One morning I saw her get down and it seemed like she missed the lower bar and landed awkwardly on the ground and it sounded loud. She...

    Necropsy results for 11 week old chick

    Hello everyone, This is me and my husbands first flock of chickens and I think we have started off on a very wrong foot. We got several chicks from various breeders around the same time and did not keep them separate, which I now realize was a mistake. About 2 weeks later a few (3 of 10) started...
