THANK YOU I missed this link! It makes perfect sense, easy to understand, I'm printing, framing LOL and bookmarking. CS

I'm hoping on the same. we have now put all our mcmurray chicks at one house. (the other house 1/2 the order was staying at) our hope had been to split up the bunch into their homes prior to 10 weeks! but now it looks like we will need to hang on a bit longer. hoping the 21 can get along in an...

I think we have to be careful about making assumptions. About how AE may or may not "work". It is possible that some vaccinated pullets the first time around did not develop immunity there are dozens of reasons other than shorter lasting Immunity (including longer lasting maternal immunity...

Again DEEP breath, I'm one of the people that has taken my chicks to an AVIAN vet. I have chicks sent out for Necropies. As far as industry, "Foster Farms?" we have poultry indursty here. the heading above the list of reportable dieases. Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR 603-011--0212) require...

This is the list of all reportable diseases in Oregon AE is not, I repeat NOT one of them. http://www.oregon.gov/ODA/AHID/animal_health/cl_reportable_diseases.shtml#Reportable_diseases 1. Anthrax 2. Avian Chlamydiosis/Psittacosis 3. Avian Influenza 4. Bluetongue 5. Brucellosis...

I can't imagine what it would be like to go through a bird flu outbreak or scare. Lucky for us with affected chicks from McMurray we are NOT dealing with Bird flu. it looks like what we are dealing with is AE. it has different transmission and different risks to foul and people. Statements that...

virus is administered to breeding pullets before they come into lay, their progeny will be protected by maternal antibody. This also suggests that maybe the reason some of our chicks did NOT get sick was because they were protected by maternal antibodies? CS

Hi, the part that is hard for some of us is that we have exposed chicks that have never missed a beat, never been sick. I understand that a sick chick that recovers might not be a sturdy bird. But there is nothing to suggest they are carriers. AE is called AE Egg drop in adults and AE tremors in...

Thanks for your post, when I get home from some appts later today I'm going to strip everything down, put the chicks in a crate. clean, clean, clean and spray things down with Virkon. the one BIG error I made early on is that I composted the litter from the first 7 days with the chicks before I...

Kris thanks for posting your results, I'm thinking I will get the same results. Have there been suggestions on how you should proceed with the chicks you have? future chicks etc? CS PS I'm expecting the same dx - just waiting.... the questions pressing on me now. 1 - how long can chicks...
