Ladies Did you read the Full articals It clearly states Microplasma Gallicepticum so i guess the scientists doing the study are wrong . I apologise for my mistake on trying to Protect my family from Diseases people do not want to test for , Im sorry but NO state vet would say that and i have asked many about testing for MG many of them say if the person asks they will 4 states test for it Funny 2 people in the USA are Clear of all Diseases tested for only 2 WOW no wonder why people get SICK

dont ever apologize for doing what you feel is right.

obviously opinions differ and thats what makes a site like this so wonderful most importantly, its really important that discussions remain civil. anything less will receive the rath of a mod - and rightly so.

we can learn from each other. we can also chose what sources we want to believe.

I just want to help not hurt So many get hurt when they have to kil off things they love or even day old baby chicks because someone Hides behind medications to sell eggs and their Animals .
My best friend is one of the top Geneticists in the Usa and has told me to pay attention to all the BIG diseases and to be very leary of what i read wait 3-4 yrs and see if its the same
I have access to Popular science and other Net works that the price to be a member is more then my 3g a month income thanks to my friend many links i can Search are ok and i too read where it was OK just treat the birds but they will always be carriers and the medication you give them doesnt help because the eggs are not edible Nor is the meat ,

I would rather not have disease i already was born with cancer thanks to Agent Orange so feeding myself with out the medications and the GMOs or most popular chemicals is how i go ,
I got shot in the head in 1997 delt with the pain . because i do not trust the medication . My doctors hate me i refuse to let them give me anything except the bill and the facts of the cancer or the cat scan and mri test results .

i learned to be picky and careful due to how i have had to be my whole life , anyway sorry i felt like someone was calling me a liar and to be truthful HOT and cold flashes are a killer lately .

Tammy-- my state vet DID give me hard time-- I wanted the testing for MG AND was willing to pay for it. " You don't want to know" was the smart a-- answer. Well, WHy did I aks then. I was and am still frustrated by the answer. NO discussion.

-------------------

If you want more info from the breeders of high quality birds like NYREDS, Fowlman and others just as reputable, go to the Heritage Fowl thread. I asked the Q there when the discussion started here. NYREDS has been breeding fowl for 50 years and is a APA judge and FOwlman01,well he's on par with NYREDS. ANd many other long time poultry people chimed in.

The discussion started with my question here:

OH MY GOODNESS! So I had 5 of the most active chicks in the incubator and 1 week from hatch date. Hubby was working on the house & had to turn the circuits off temporarily. Well, the way this stupid house is wired the kitchen circuit has 2 breakers that has to be turned off for one light switch. He turned the circuits back on & all was well - or so we thought. I woke up yesterday morning and looked in the bator and it said 66 degrees! Even though the kitchen light switch worked one of the circuits wasn't turned back on to it & evidently the bathroom socket was on that circuit. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Well, I just candled the eggs this morning - even though they had been cold for 12 hours during the night - and I saw movement in ALL the eggs!!! Oh my goodness, I was sure all was lost. Not counting my chickens before they hatch but I'm really finding this unbelievable! Wish me luck!

5 gorgeous chicks hatched today!!
