    Mycoplasma Flare-Up

    In June 2024, I had a few chickens showing symptoms of mycoplasma, including some respiratory issues, sneezing, and one bubbly eye. It was too late to separate anyone when I discovered this, so I decided to simply keep my infected flock clean and isolated, as well as not get any more chickens at...

    Mycoplasma?

    So a while back I noticed one of my chickens' eye was white, but I never got a good look at it, because it is super skiddish. But recently I picked it up because it had escaped and I noticed that puss was oozing from its eye and there was bubbles, I isolated it so it didn't spread and then tried...

    Post MG/MS and ILT Clean-up

    I have recently confirmed my flock has both Mycoplasmas and ILT (infectious laryngotracheitis). While I know I’m not going to add to or move this flock, I may at some point decide to cull because of the transmission availability to neighbors as well as what I hoped to do in the future with...

    Lost

    We received absolutely devastating news. The vet contacted up for a follow up on our rooster, Blueberry. She notified us that they tested postive for mycoplasma, and that the entire flock would be euthanized. I still can not wrap my head around why, but it is mandatory under our provincial...
