Bless you with your chicken problems. I finally yrs. ago gave up on one flock and started over three months later after sanitizing everything I owned three times. Now it is 4 yrs later and I have not had the same problems ever again. It is heart breaking. It is said that Tylan will help in the injectable form but your flock will always be carriers. Every time they are stressed they will again show symptoms and all new birds will get it. Eggs although safe if well cooked to eat will be carriers if it mg/ms. Some of the diseases of resp. can be caught by humans as well be very careful until you know what for sure you are dealing with. I have not been on this forum to know if you have a diagnosis. We just had a guy from NPIP to come to our club meeting and give a class on disease. It was eye opening. Good luck with your flock

This is an odd question, but can you eat chickens with coryza?
I hate to kill something and not have it go to use, but obviously don't want to get my kids sick....

Since you are guessing on diagnosis, I wouldn't eat them. If you get testing to find out for sure what you have, you'll also find that out. There are waaaayyyy too many poultry diseases with similar symptoms.
 
Vet is one way. Cheapest way is taking a bird to a diagnostic center. I've taken them to Rollins near NCSU Vet school. Either way, you do risk getting put on formal state quarantine if you have a reportable disease, but they will also explain your options. When I took birds up last year, I took six. I could have taken up to eight for $30 for euthanasia and necropsy. You might want to call and verify the prices haven't changed, but still, amazingly inexpensive to get a definitive diagnosis.

That is just adorable!! I can't wait to have a mother and chicks. I have been hatching using the incubator so I have missed out on this process. I used one of my broody Orphingtons to hatch out some guinea eggs but after one died, I decided I would just take the babies as soon as they hatched. I think that since there were different hatch dates, she didn't get up off the nest to feed and water the babies. I even had water in the nest box with them but apparently, the babies didn't get any. I had found them on a wednesday and by Thursday, one was dead! So, I just took the other 3 that hatched under her. She was a faithful setter, but apparently, she just didn't know how to raise the babies. Is it common for them to be good setters but bad mommas? Angela
