I never thought of giving them polyvysol
but I did give them milk straigth from the cow yesterday, I think we're on the up hill now, they all have lost their puffiness and are eating /drinking much better now. look really good.
Their pen outside isn't low at all. never holds water...
I forgot, DUH my baby chicks are on concrete not dirt. with fresh hay for bedding every other day or so. They do get to go out in their pen which is wet but for the most part their in their house which is a concrete floor.
I don't know why I ddin't add this in earlier...
This is what someone told me
Cocci is almost always present in the environment, but rarely causes symptoms unless there is something wrong with the fowls immune system (like having had AE).
I have no doubt in my own opinion that this trouble started with the mcmurray chickens. the...
I can't do anything much that costs alot ofmoney as my Dh is out of work, and has been for about 6 months now. he's in construction and work is really slow. so doing what she suggested is out of our possibilities.
It has rained terribly here over the past 2 months or...
The mcmurray and other chicks have never been outside their pen, their completely penned off from my
l3 adult chickens and
my 8 baby geese.
Baby geese have never been in the same pen.
Baby geese just got put onto fresh grass into the chick tractor about 3 or 4 days ago...
My mcmurray chickens now have cocci blood in their poop. A few weeks ago I had several diagnosed with AE from the state vet. Lots survived though, thought things were fine, all of a suggen mcmurray chickens started dropping like flies, next day I saw bloody poop. New I...
Yes, my chicks had rubbery legs. the bones bend like rubber. The report said a serious vit c deficiency . The feed change and vitamin addition has fixed the problem with all chicks. I still have one or two that aren't chipper like the rest. but I have...
I got the results back, I have 2 out of 4 with diagnosed AE and all have a severe calcium deficiency.
I contacted mm and told them, Just as a courtesy. They did say they did have some testing done too and found it was AE and that they have vacinated. Mine are...
What's Sul met? MM told me to use teramiacin too. Ishould have asked the vet if he wanted me to use that too. Mine are doing so much better today, that third chick that was down, is now up and doing quite well. WE may be on a road to recovery here. yay!!!
I think I posted on page 8 or 9 which breeds I have.
I guess I misunderstood, which happens alot, thought you said the feed switch wasn't doing them any good, and though tyou announced that you had chicks with AE.
Like I said, this is my vet's diagnosis for my birds and why everybody should have theirs tested for AE (the virus) because it's definitely going around, but he didn't think my chicks have it.
The feed change is working for my birds.
I'm glad for one that it is...
Amanda, you say you have AE chicks? have they been diagnosed with AE? if you haven't had them tested then you don't really know if they had ae
I spent 3 hrs at the state vet yesterday with 4 chicks, He sent them off for AE testing, but feels pretty confident...
I am having my chicks tested tomorrow by the state vet. I'll know in 3 days if I hve the AE virus.
I thought there were 3 confirmed cases

I just got a full refund from MMH this morning, including shipping charges. I asked about any reports of AE and they said they've not had a one report , has anybody sent in any proof that they had AE? anybody who's had their chicks tested? I didnt thinkthey'd say...
None of mine are dead yet, now wait, I have lost 5, but I thought those were other conditions, besides the virus. they all died when they were just a few days old. one did drown in water, the other dead on arrival, the other 3 I thought just got smashed by...
Just came in from the chick house, and I have two more in quarantine area now, they were falling ontheir sides trying to hold themselves up with their wings.
The very first one that got sick several days ago is still alive, I thought it would be dead.
