Coryza diease

[tigercreek]

I have an outbreak of Coryza and I am not able to find out if the loss of production will be permenate, or only while symptoms are present. Can anyone help with that?? I know I'll have to replace the whole flock to get rid of it, but should I wait untill the current young hens are past the 2nd laying cycle, or will the production be so low that I should start over with clean chicks now?? Thanks....stan

you can also google search on this page and probably find the answer your looking for.

Thanks for the reply Lydia! My hens are over the worst it seems, and I must not have had as bad an infection as the one in the link you gave. I have not lost any birds yet, but still have one that is in bad shape. I have found lots of info thruogh Google search, but I am not sure of the long term effects on egg production.......stan

Coryza (in my experience) only seems to slow production during the corse of the illness. Aftermine recovered, I did not notice a change in laying.
