Story
I recently vended at a poultry swap and some chicks and birds there all of them were examined and looked perfectly healthy and anything that didn't was culled right away. I also sold a millie fluer D'uccle pair at this swap to one of my friends who is an NPIP breeder and is also free of Mycoplasma Gallisepticum. When she got the results, my birds tested positive on M.G. and M.S. She told us right away and I have been in panic mode ever since. I was also talking to some people who said there is a way to get rid of the disease in eggs. If I can get eggs that are free of this disease I wont have to start from scratch. However I also read that 70-90% of all flocks have it. So I need to locate the breeders that dont have it but I am suspecting that the people who do have it will be charging an arm and a leg for it.
Plus after a short time after this there were complaints that birds that were sold by us died. I am in a really tight position right now and I want it to be done with. Just last night I had to crack over 325 eggs for hatching and 3 quarters of them were fertile and another quarter of them were supposed to hatch tomorrow. Plus I am eating all of my chicken eggs weather it be a 50 cent barnyard mix egg or a 10$ tolbunt polish egg. Just those eggs alone were worth a good 500-1000$. And I have been loosing chicks left and right now. I have lost about 30 chicks this week alone and its not just one breed its all of them. I will also have to cull my red ranger flock today that could have been butchered next week.
We are trying become NPIP certified and whatever tests positive on any disease will be kept alive until I have gotten a decent amount of eggs from them then I will cull them.
Questions
Can this mixture get rid of M.G. and M.S. water, tylan, and hydrogen peroxide.?
Is there anything I can do to make back my money or will I have to cull them all?
If I have a batch of eggs and one egg is infected will all the other eggs be infected too?
Can this disease be dormant?
Is there any way to prevent this disease from coming back?
Any birds that are diseased, can they be butchered and eaten?
