MG flocks do not have to be culled, but MG flocks are REQUIRED to live out their life ON the property. You can not sell, give away or otherwise rehome any bird from a property that has a positive MG test. Even if the bird in question was never with the others, they must stay on site, or be culled.
Interesting. They did not tell me that. is that true for every state?
I have been giving all my roosters to a coworker who's wife is a homeschooler and knows how to slaughter chickens.
He lost his entire flock to a dog attack and it seemed an equitable arrangement due to my squeamishness about killing.
edited to add:
We killed the chickens who tested positive for MG already, just so you know. But, I am assuming the rest of my flock may have MG. But they haven't actually tested positive and never came into direct contact with the birds who did but were in my quarantine pen.
