We go as far as to loan out birds if I or one of the people in my circle gets it to try and infect the others young ones

This sounds like a dumb idea.

I know some people up north and none have had it

Fowl pox is not the same as MG or say Marek's.

Knock wood, for me it was just the one year. View attachment 1519426

yeah, she was bad.

That's wet pox right?

He’s was in the ICU, I’m not sure how he is now.

A nurse posted his positive test results on a social media anti-vax page and was fired for it. I don’t think the boy was vaccinated.
She also commented (before being fired) that she “seriously considered swabbing his mouth to take home” to infect her own son.
Is this seriously 2018? smfh.

Wow! This world we live in!

I've never had it. The few people I do know that are near me have never had it either. I wonder if it is because the city sprays for mosquitos?

I might’ve had it a couple of years ago, if I did it was a very mild case. I remember being convinced my birds had mycoplasma but I wasn’t a big member of BYC and I didn’t get much help (cough, none).
We have no lack of mosquitos around here, though.

They spray here too but at least three of mine have had fowl pox. It's never been bad at all.

 

[Tesumph]

yes I live in mosquito infested swamp and I do it to get it over with. To me it's better for the young ones to get it and get it over with so we/they don't have to worry about it. It is inevitable round deez parts

Ah okay, that makes sense then.

 

[Cyprus]

it's just what we so. There's no underlying cult like atmosphere about it lol. It's all good what works for some may not for all. Kind of like me not wanting to have mereks in my flock, it's a ok for others

Both maybe?
