So, does anyone know how I would get a bird to K-State for necropsy,or if that's even the 'official' place to get that done for Kansas? I think I may possibly have Coryza. Does anyone here have experience with it? I've been dusting my birds frequently of late, treating for lice. Any chance this could cause irritation and mimic the symptoms?
The only good thing about this is Coryza doesn't affects ducks. I could at least keep them.

I'm practically becoming a recluse because of the rising gas prices. It's more peaceful and I enjoy being at home doing my own thing, but feeling stuck doesn't feel good and it gets lonesome once in a while. But, I am blessed to not have to work outside the home so I can't complain.

VERY True, feeling like an isolated crazy

chicken lady due to gas prices...at least I can hang out with some pretty cool poultry

Sorry for your problems

I believe you can mail the body...freeze it I think? Give the extension http://www.asi.ksu.edu/p.aspx?tabid=25 a call and they can give you info...

Huzzah! My chicks survived the first night in the great outdoors/backyard coop!

Now to clean the dusty, smelly basement out...

I use to bring specimens for testing to 119th and Ridgeview in Olathe to the dept of health and someone would send them to K-state for testing. This was for rabies though, so not sure for other diseases. We would freeze them and have to go through special steps-but once again this was for rabies testing. I would call out there and see if they do anything else.

Welcome to all who have recently joined our wonderful Kansas Thread!

Renee - forgot to send you a big thanks for the last feed order! I have been keeping track of usage and it looks like we are using less feed overall. I should be able to quantify by the end of the month.

Everyone enjoy the beautiful day!
