Popping in here for an update. I drove to Gonzales this morning to the Texas A&M Poultry Diagnostic Lab (it took about 1.5 hours to get there). The director/vet, Dr. Ficken, came out to get the info and history from me while the person behind the desk was getting my other info. He was great - we talked through what I had seen in Paula's necropsy, and then (since I had told him I was a human pathologist) he told me what findings he would look for that would indicate Avian Leukosis vs. Marek's. He started on it right when I left, and he called me on my phone with results before I even made it back to San Antonio! (That's quick service!).

Preliminary findings indicate it was Avian Leukosis (NOT Mareks). From his description, she looked very similar to Paula - he's sending me some photos. I asked him to go ahead and do histopathology just to be thorough.

I need to digest this and its implications for my flock, and do some more reading. This is the classic time (14-16 weeks or so) for congenitally infected chicks to manifest and die, and babies reared with congenitally infected chicks apparently also have a high likelihood of developing tumors - I may lose all the CL girls in that pen, not sure about the two Aloha Naked Neck girls in there, as they were not put together until 4 weeks old, and they could be more resistant anyhow. Again, I have more reading to do, not sure I will go straight to culling (yet). But I am not going to put any of those girls with other birds. The mercy here is that I had never desired or planned to sell hatching eggs or chicks.

What a drag - but I'm very glad to have gotten the necropsy and to know that I was wrong and it's not Mareks.

I'm glad it is not Marek's, and while I don't know anything about this illness, I do know through hard experience how tough some infected flock decisions are

@Akrnaf2Do you have a recipe for Cream cheese from sheep/goat's milk?
What hobby or skill are you going to persue this break?

 

[ChickenCanoe]

Inam in vacation the first (OFFICIALLY ) day of it , so I am trying ti slow down and enter to the right mood.

Take your time.

You didn't help with Mt. Rushmore, did you?

I'm close but not that old. Plus I don't have that kind of time. I'm fairly new to this.
They even used air tools back in the day.

O not at all befor touday even when I didn't need to teach I still need in time to time to go yo meeting with the school principal and other functionaries in the school, but ftom today I until the 28 of August I am free.

I'm Free!!!

Then why are you on BYC?

To wind down.

I find a grate satisfaction to talk with you guys, I have never knew American pepeople befor

And it is a grate opportunity to practice my English

Some of us are jerks.
But we're glad to have you join us.

I think some here need to practice there English as well.

Oh bless you!

You put a here in there for a location instead of the heir in their to own it (that is how I helped my students with that one).

Never heard that one but I like it.

I think there, their and they're are some things that just need to be committed to memory.

Same as seas, sees, seize; flew, flu, flue; pause, paws;pores, pours; right, rite, wright, write; rain, reign, rein; roo, roux, rue.
I know other languages have homophone problems but they make English very difficult if it isn't one's native tongue.
IMHO, French is hard too. How in the world can they chop off the enunciation of virtually every last syllable and still be understood?

So I just found this on craigslist:

Urine from breastfed babies is supposed to cure acne.

That is fast service. And I must add that I'm very proud of you for getting the necropsy done.
So often on here you read about someone with 20 chickens that have been dying for the last year and when they're down to 2 birds try to seek help.

I realize first timers don't know that there is such a thing as a poultry lab in their state. Some will go to a vet but finding an avian vet with poultry experience is as rare as hen's teeth. If they do a necropsy, they'll send it to the same lab and add a surcharge for handling the carcass. And it takes longer by that route.

If you are considering rethinking raising CCLs - which I probably would since you're not married to them. And since you live in Tejas. I'd seriously consider Cubalayas, Fayoumis or Black Penedesencas.

@ChickenCanoeit was just something I came up with when I was teaching. Kind of like needing many o's for more than one in (to, too).

I think it is great. I don't have the eye for it or drawing like Banti, but if I have time in the winter, I like to quilt. I also carry a knitting or crocheting project around with me. It is good when I have to wait anywhere, have a class, or even church. If I am doing something with my hands I can focus. Otherwise, I am planning, making lists, etc., while trying to focus. I had one teacher it bithered years ago. I wish I had shown him my notes or explained. You could see the doodles,lists, etc., on the pages that correlated with me not having it, and neat notes when I did bring something.

You know what I found to be the most difficult part was getting the eyes symmetrical.
