Granny just read this about Denagard on a different thread. Thought I would share.

Here's the thing, there is some indication that a 12 month Denagard treatment program MAY keep the birds from becoming carriers. Yes, you can choose not to treat, let those that die die. let those that survive become carriers, have 30% less productive layers and eventually future generations will have improved resistance. Or, you can treat your entire flock for 3-5 days initially, cull those that don't respond well by the 3rd day and treat them once a month for a year and maybe come through on the other end with a flock that is not sick, won't spread to others and produce more resistant offspring. You can also treat your flock, warm/cold Tylan/Denagard dip your hatching eggs and produce clear chicks for a replacement flock. What you can't ethically do is not tell others you've had exposure in your flock. I understand not wanting to use antibiotics if it can be avoided - the Denagard has been widely used and become accepted practice in Europe where Avian approval has been sought and granted. Here in the states simply not enough $ for manufacturers to jump through the hoops. Your flock. Continue researching and come to your own conclusions on how to best manage it. Good luck!

Sorry about all the extra stuff I copy and pasted to much. Interesting about dipping the eggs.
Campingshaws sorry about your egg be interesting to know what happened.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

thanks suzierd ! I cant ever find anything about it. I will go read now.

I dont tell everyone i have a sick flock but i dont sell them either so I cant really see where that matters in my case. definitely not hiding anything. hahaa I am not quite understanding about dipping the eggs though. I have heard of getting rid of it in your flock but even if you dip the eggs and they are hatched free from it wouldnt they pick it up from the rest of the flock? we need more info like this . no one wants to step up and admit when they have sickness in the flock . reminds me of yrs. past when people would hid their special needs kids or institute them because of the stigma that came with it. I have thought of opening a page for crd birds, possible buy,sale, trade too. I am just not good enough on the computer to do that.

Well, we eggtopsied #7, and I think it died some time before lockdown, possibly. I have a gross pic. TONS of liquid, black floaty lumps, poker-chip-sized pink chick. Grossest smell imagineable.
