Quote: wow 1500 dollars i didnt think you were misleading me ..i trust your judgement!!!!! Never be impressed by money spent on a bird. First, it is just money. Secondly, it just means the buyer agreed with the sellar as to the worth of the bird. That's all. Both sellar and buyer could just...

Quote: I was thinking I read smells somewhere? Long day, who knows. Shotgun approach: that is what I said. Bleach will work on the walls, roosting post and boxes. Remember, I said dig the ground out, or you can buy Oxine. I also said Peter was right too.

Quote: The avian vet here doesn't euthanize for testing. They will run tests on live birds. Yes, it is very expensive. I was just trying to come up with an alternative way to determine what illness they do have without having to send one to the state vet since she does not want to have one...

Does bleach work as well? Peter says no but he's selling Oxine left and right too. He's probably right too. But bleach works well enough for those of us that don't have the $30 a bottle. I told you I was cheap. I'm not going to purposely mislead or lie to you. I'm also not going to lead you...

avian vet? Go to your State Poultry Vet if you are going to use anybody. All the avian vet is going to do is send the carcass off to the State Vet and then charge you triple for their report.

First State is great. Had supper with Peter not long ago: very knowledgeable. If you can wait 6 weeks that is fine, but when birds are dropping like flies you sometimes have to take the best approach you can: kind of like a doctor will do with a person while awaiting lab results (he'll still...

yes, you can take a dead chicken to the State Vet or a live one and let them kill it. And what are they going to tell you after the diagnosis? Use Tylan or Duramycin/ use bleach/ keep the place clean/ disinfect.... just what I said. How do I know? Where do you think I came up with this stuff...

If your shavings are basically sawdust or become dust then that is much worse than straw. Straw is a great material and has been used for centuries: long before shavings. saladin

lol. I love you brother. Even if you are a yankee.

You're full of crap too cuda!

I would never show a sick bird! Let that be said first and foremost. Ok, I decided to talk to about showing and coryza too. I honestly don't see a problem. Here's why: A number of show folks that I know vaccinate their birds for coryza. This is done all the time. There are two types of coryza...

My coop floor is dirt as well: I like dirt. Just remove the top inch of it then spray the dirt. Next put in the straw. In the future just take up the straw and the loose dirt. saladin

Some use Tylan with great success. I've not found that it works for me like the Duramycin. As to the apple cider vingar: I said BLEACH. Apple cider vingar is not going to kill germs the bleach does. That is what you need now to kill germs. In a common water fount the birds are passing the germs...

One other thing, now that you have the sickness present you need to clean out that pen on a regular basis and disinfect it. saladin

You don't have to put down anything yet. Mortality rate with coryza, if it is coryza, is said to be around 10%. I have found it to be higher in younger stock. Here is what to do: 1. Separate the sick. 2. Clean out the pen where the flock is housed. Spray it with a mixture of bleach and water...
