Depopulating & starting over??

[sonderah]

So, I made the call. Been finding excuses to put it off, but Ky dept of AG has my number now, just waiting for the call back. My question is..... If I test positive and depopulate. How do I start over??? I can buy from NPIP people, but that only tests for p/t & AI. How do I find MG/MS free certified flocks to purchase from??

You can order chicks from hatcheries: Meyer, Cackle, Ideal, McMurray hatcheries are just a few. I've ordered from Meyer and Ideal hatcheries without any problems.

Are all of those hatcheries certified MG/MS free??

Quote: You can call them up and ask if you wish. Like I stated, I've never had any mycoplasma problems from either of the two hatcheries I mentioned. And yes, I know what MG/MS symptoms are...IF the chicks survive.
