    Avian Leukosis, anybody have experience?

    Thank you, all good tips! Fortunately we’ve done a little shuffling here and there, between some freak weather events and the vet, so I think our girls are pretty easy going overall.

    Avian Leukosis, anybody have experience?

    Newest ones didn't even come home with me until a few weeks old, from there it was a week or two before they met. I don't remember the exact ages but certainly no close interaction in the early days. I am assuming all of them are positive for LL at this point. Anything you've changed...

    Avian Leukosis, anybody have experience?

    Do you have success with certain breeds or hatcheries having good resistance over time? We got the confirmed diagnosis of LL and lost a hen two weeks ago to it. I’m so scared to lose more. 😞

    Avian Leukosis, anybody have experience?

    @azygous I saw a post that you have it in the flock, what has been your experience with your adult chickens? Mine are all around 1.5 years, not planning for them to hatch chicks.

    Avian Leukosis, anybody have experience?

    I just spoke with my vet and they think we should test for this. Three of my seven girls have had lethargy/unspecified illness resulting in bloodwork and signs of infection. More issues for one of our hens who is on her second course of abx and a heart medication for a murmur. They’re going to...
