OK question for you all. From speaking to the AG guy for Missouri who deals with chickens I learned that 70-90% of backyards chickens are positive for MS. Most just never officially test. I have tested to find out what was going on. Now I know that though most of my birds are well now they will be carriers and susceptible in times of stress. I now have to decide. Do I cull and start again though it is very common and can be brought in to my chickens environment even by wild birds and other critters or live with it and know if I ever sell it goes with them (not illegal but moral?)
The second part is if I start over it would require finding only sources that actually test for it and hope neither critters or I just reintroduce a strain anyway.

Here are some of the mutts I hatched on the 21st. No real idea what they are/ are mixed with. Most of them hatched out of blue or green eggs. 2 hatched from brown eggs. I hatched 10 out of 12 even though the temps was over 102 several times and would not go above 95 for the first few days. They hatched right on time.

I love the markings around the eyes of the one in the first pics omg so cute

I'm somewhat dealing with the same thing, though I haven't tested to see what is giving my birds a cold. I'm starting to feel like these things are more of a when, not if, scenario. If I can get my birds healthy I think i will keep them and have a chat about the signs and treatments should I decide to sell eggs or chicks....

@casportpony or anyone else that could help, does this look like a bruise from the duckling starting to pip too low? There's some movement around the edge of the air cell, but it doesn't appear to have actually pipped into it, and this spot makes me wonder if it's trying to pip low.

I would not cull. On my list of things to do is to find hatcheries that are mycoplasma negative, but I think that most hatcheries don't test for it.

Ideal Hatchery is mycoplasma positive, and in a letter I saw from them, the say that most other hatcheries are also positive.

Can you mark the air cell on it, then take another picture?
