@seminolewind , never mind, I forgot that I included the pdf, and it does in fact say that the chick tested negative for mycoplasma species.

@ironsfamilyfarm
 , you might want to call your state vet and ask about have one of their testers come and draw blood and collect a nasal swab. Many states will do it for free or a very low cost.

Too funny.

On my list of things to learn is how to do my own fecals. cultures and sensitivities. All I have to do is set up the "lab" (scope, centrifuge, oven, etc) , do a bunch of reading and figure it out. DH has been quite supportive and is quite interested in learning as well. Will also need to learn how to draw blood.
