    Cream Crested Legbar cross/wild type confusion

    This year I decided to play with my Cream crested legbar line and use a few of my CCL hens under 1. Olive Egger (BCM/Ameraucana) 2. Lavender Orpington 3. Blue Wheaten Marans Roos. I *thought* I understood the autosexing/barring genetics of the CCL as F1 females retaining the wild type/chipmunk...

    Ugh, I think my new Silkie Chicks have MG

    I did reach out to her last night and she did deny having any knowledge of MG (in general) or symptoms of it in her flock. I reassured her I was not angry, but urged her to test her birds before continuing to sell them. Hopefully she takes that step.

    Ugh, I think my new Silkie Chicks have MG

    Update: contacted the state diagnostic lab at Auburn, sent some swabs out on Weds and by Friday results were in. The chicks tested positive for MG. I haven't released them from the brooder, so it looks like a grim weekend for them 😢

    Ugh, I think my new Silkie Chicks have MG

    No, there are no local vets that treat chickens nearby. I can cull one and send for necropsy at a state lab or swab for zoologix quoted me $125 for MG test. These birds only cost me about $40 so I don’t see it as worthwhile. For my other flocks, sure.

    Ugh, I think my new Silkie Chicks have MG

    I’m pretty frustrated and going back and forth on what to do with them. I purchased these chicks locally just for fun to add to my existing large flocks including layers, and several breeding projects I’m working on. The chicks have been isolated 100% in a metal brooder in my basement since...
