For so many more!
 
Sorry to say, but once you have it is almost impossible to get reed of it! No cure, the one that survived will stay as carrier that infect any new chickens, the virus can stay in the are fir years! You cant disinfect everything! What should you do:
0. You should cull any infected bird.
1. You should practice a restrict biosecurity policy.
2. You should, if you can, practice the method if " all in all out" when you change your flock. Do you know the basics of an effective quarantine? ( the rule of "40:40"?)
3. You should vaccinate your new chicks.
4. There is breed that are naturally mor resistant to MD like the Fayoumi, you can choose them.
See this link:

5. You should raise,if you can one turkey with your chicken, the turkeys have a virus
Related to the MDV that don't infect chickens but do make a cross vaccination to MDV in chickens( it is the virus that his used in the vaccination!)


Good luck
Benny, Do you know how much contact is needed? Close contact or if they shared a field. If wild turkeys use my pasture the chickens use, could they be getting some protection?

Thank You,
Mike
 
Actually it is my first rodeo...........but I've got bills to pay and chickens that need to eat :barnie
Lol- I hear you! I'm hoping for a few early birds and a weekend hatch.

Question: did any of you (Hahahaha- I'm new and even I know this group!) candle eggs at 2 days? My girls and I are dying here!
