Heyyyy!
It's one of my more manly days.
If Kiki still puts her purse down on a counter, I still have work to do.

That is terrible!I don't know if you have a similar agency in Canada, but here in the States if I came across an unscrupulous individual that was (knowingly) selling infected birds, I would report them to the local state/county extension office. We live in the country and there are poultry/egg farms in the area, in addition to the lot of us that maintain smaller homesteading/backyard flocks. A disease such as MG, because of its modes of transmission, could wreak havoc on these poultry and egg farms. I would think (hope) biosecurity measures are strictly implemented at these farms to prevent such a catastrophe, but for those who don't know any better, an outbreak could be devastating both emotionally and financially. Shame on these ppl for jeopardizing other's birds just to make a buck. I do hope you are able to get your hens as healthy as they can be!
I might actually carry this in my purse now too.....
People have said the same about 'The Chicken Health Handbook' by Gail Dammerow....
... After we purchased our first sheep, I bought a book called the veterinary book for sheep farmers. I remember thinking that if people purchased the book prior to buying their sheep...there is no way they'd ever buy sheep in the first place.
I remember thinking that same thought about the chickens once I became a member of BYC.
With everything that's discussed on here...I believe it!
I have that handbook. I buried it deep in my file cabinet after glancing through it. I call it, "Gail Dammerow's book of Doom and Gloom."
