She started coughing this afternoon. Have not noticed anything in the others at all. She honestly sounds like someone trying to cough up mucus in their lungs.
She ate a bowl of food laced with cinnamon, oregano oil, chili flakes and two cloves of garlic. She actually picked the garlic out first and ate that first.
Not sure what to think... I wonder if she got some food in her windpipe or something, since it happened right after eating and she has not at all appeared sick.. ofcourse, birds are good at hiding sickness. She laid an egg in the pet carrier.. tried to peck me when I went to grab it, which is unusual for her. Guess I'd be a bit grumpy too if I was feeling bad.
If she passes or if she gets worse and I have to take her out of her misery, I will have to see about an autopsy, for the sake of the rest of the flock. Not sure how to go about that, we're not NPIP.. I may still give in and get Tylan.. I really don't want to start medicating my flock though, especially if it's not certain it's treatable with antibiotics, it seems like such a slippery slope.
Tom, you can ship the bird to the state lab for necropsy for $10 (plus postage.) There is one in Hanceville and one in Auburn. I don't think you have to be NPIP to take advantage of that, but they prefer you send the bird while it is still alive. I had a mystery disease killing off my birds last summer, and I sent them a total of three birds. It is not a quick answer, but they are thorough.

ok you incubator gurus.....
need some help. I got a Farm Innovators circulated air/egg turner incubator a while back. I put 12 bantam eggs in it last month...NO HATCHES...total crop failurethe temp varied some, not much and was right on 99-100 most of the time. Humidity varied, having trouble getting the mix right to keep humidity at 55%. A lot of the 12 eggs were collected in cold weather and were cold to the touch when I got them...maybe too cold for too long??? The eggs "felt" hot to my hand a couple of time I checked them, but TWO temp guages said 100 degrees at the time.
I have 10 silver sebright eggs on the way, in addition to gold laced sebright and old english bantam eggs of my own. I'd like a better than 0% hatch rate this time

I'm very new to incubating too so I can only say from my personal experience which may be TOTALLY wrong but I made a CHEAP still air incubator and threw some quail egg in it.ok you incubator gurus.....
