I don’t know about you, but this latest poultry news has been extremely hard bc with everything else happening in the world our feathered friends/family are who have kept us going with so many moments of joy & hopeful anticipation during these very difficult times.
Most likely poultry “sickness” culprits are respiratory issues, dehydration, impacted crop, bound or broken internal egg, bumble foot or worms. Whatever it is, definitely keep a close eye, quarantine her/him, follow protocols for keeping them safely hydrated & keeping you sanitized after interactions so as not to infect others. Do your research online & here is such a fantastic resource!
We find Helpful: VetRx, probiotics scrambled eggs & wet pellets, fresh yolky water gently dropped onto beak, soft crop & booty massages/warm bottom bath. Thank you community (& internet for helpful how to info)
Knowledge is power, right? So here’s the important yet dreadful news…https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2022/02/avian-flu-scan-feb-28-2022
So if ANY of the Avian Flu symptoms develop, it is EXTREMELY important for the sake of the rest of your flock and our beloved community to check with your county disease center (and vet) to see where to test her poop. A lot of Counties in the United States are offering free testing. And if one or more has unfortunately passed they will help you send her/him for post mortem testing too.
In the UK the outbreak seems to have begun in January. Now there’s recommendations for keeping your flocks indoors. Now that’s a good way to recycle these masks! My girls & I would just love an in-house set up, especially at the urging of the government
Hoping all of your feathered, furred, hairy, scaled, rooted & just-skin loved ones pull through to live a happy, healthy life indoors or out
Also still Praying for World Peace & Prosperty for all…sigh
