My birds with cholibacciliosis did not have any dialated pupils, what they had was "pump-handle" respiration and air sacculitis. It effected their nasal passages, snotty beaks & constantly whipping their heads to fling snot out would make brown droplets on each side of their heads, sneezing (due...

It depends, what kind of coliform bacteria did the test say ? There are many kinds of coliform bacteria and most won't hurt the birds, after all they drink out of muddy pools on the ground all the time. And remember, antibiotics will not help. If they showed signs of getting ill, just make sure...

Welcome.and remember that the sun will kill all chlorine in any water you put out for the birds....Always store the "solution" and any chlorox bottles in a shaded area, this is why it comes in a white bottle (or way back in the day chlorox came in a brown glass jug) I try to keep my bird's water...

You will need to blow up these images to read them, but it is fascinating. I also want to admit I get lazy from time to time and give them straight water without adding any extra chlorine, as we have our wells on a super filtration system, UV sterilzers, and a Dosatron adds appropriate chlorine...

This is more than likely true, as our own immunal systems are constructed, we can each tollerate so many outside bacterias, fungi and viruses' at the same time, then along comes the straw that breaks the camel's back, so to speak. I copy/scanned the paper published by our avian pathologists, and...

All our wells are hand dug, or rain water. The rain water tested can still have e.coli in it, due to birdie doo on the roof.the hand dug wells are about 10 to 16 foot deep and do have coliform bacteria but so far not e.coli. I dislike chlorine, too.but under the circumstances, there is...

We have the same issue, kind of. And no, if the water has coliform bacteria in it, they can get very sick, and/or die. This sickness can, and has wiped out entire chicken farms. What has been recommended by the avian health labs, is to chlorinate the water. Any silt in it would not hurt them...
