What diease is that? That pretty aweful. How does it transmit? We have a diease here that affects bunnies its carried by flying biting insects calIed mosquitoes worst part is our government released it to help the spread of feral rabbits. Now it common for rabbit breeders to lose everything at once. Some of our muuscovies are white not sure if they French we call them mammoths. I send the best of them to breeder auctions.

I can know if they were french or not... a pics are appreciated... we don't know what is this disease....I searched eeverywhere and asked many times on many forums and noone knew for sure... actually my broody hen is a survivor from that disease.... the symptoms are closing half the eyes or completely..... extremely disgusting poop that is runny and grenish and white....and laziness.... paralysing... hardly walking or standing... exhaustion.... can't focus enough to grab food... that's if they can see it.....etc.... eventually they die even with hand feeding... some will survive... my broody was totally paralysed only breath... if you see it you think it's dead...I kept hand feeding and giving some sort of antibiotics and eventually she improved and back to normal.... we lost sooo many birds... a neighbor is the other street is now suffering with it.... it came back to his birds... youngsters are more vulnerable to that disease.... that's why we only still have old ladies...

Anyone would like to help me post my pics....

I have a concern now.... I let my broody out today.... she's on day 4 now... while she was eating and drinking and scratching around... my parents brought a tractor or something to shuffle the soil... I don't know how we say it in English.... but to remove the tall grasses and turn the soil upside down lol.... and I didn't know that... so my broody and the other birds were terrified and went down the property.... courageously she tried to come back.... but she stayed with the other for about an hour and a half. ... will that affect the growing 4 days old embryos...
And I candeled the eggs yesterday... and noticed that one of the biggest eggs thati wished to be fertile and to get good genes to my flock that will eggs that big... turned out to have a dettached air sac... I know I have to keep it still in a vertical position with the fat end up... but it's under a broody... so is there any chance for it to survive until hatch date... I don't care if I have to help it to hatch.... I have lots of experience in assisted hatches and works wonders... I even saved a chick without being internally pipped...

Sorry I live a long way from town only get there once a week will get laptop going this week and post some. Set eggs on 18-8 had two hatched today the first one isn't getting round too well they're due Monday maybe I got a hot spot in bator. These deaths has a vet autopsy? We only have a few dieases here we have poultry import ban no eggs or live birds. Leucosis and mareks are here they have some of those symptoms.

 

[Majd]

Nope... no vet autopsy...
