How was the diagnosis of newcastle made?

had to go look this up real quick and found this:

"NDV has not infected domestic chicken flocks in the United States since the last outbreak was eradicated in 1974."

New Castle disease is a REPORTABLE disease. You have to report this to your state.

I really doubt that this is what you have. You may have Marek's.

I too am curious as to how you know it is Newcastle ?

END (Exotic Newcastle Disease) had an outbreak in California and the Southwest a few years back among exotic birds such as psittacines & others, but wasn't reported to exist in domestic fowl as far as I can recall. I DO think there were some domestic flocks that were ordered completely eradicated as a precaution (and probably overkill to the highest degree). Did you have a necropsy done, or was that an off the cuff diagnosis or guess? (not trying to be inflammatory, just wondering if it was a conclusion from symptoms, or if there were actual lab tests & necropsies done).

all the same symptoms I called our vet and they said thats what it wad so IDK what to do....
they were vaccinated for mareks and they were tested so I don't think its that.
there were no lab tests.
we have been burning the bodies when they die and we ussually kill them as soon as we see that they have it.
