Hey guys,
I’m sure this is a much longer story but the short version is I took 3 of my birds in for testing to the lab on Monday and yesterday I received the final report.
2 birds positive for Mareks
1 bird positive for Coccidia
PCR positive for Avibacterium Paragallinarum (I’m assuming for all 3 as it doesn’t specify..)
I am still waiting for a call from my vet who was also sent the results. I am sure the pathologist will also call me today as last spring I dealt with MG (I know right, lucky me), and he called to speak with me then.
I will update once I have a plan of action. The birds in my current flock are of course unvaccinated. They were obtained from local breeders. I am of course attached to them.
I have 5, 3 week old chicks in the brooder in my tack room, and 7 eggs going into lockdown today. Does anyone know if I obtained the vaccine for the day olds if it would be worth vaccinating the 3 week olds as well? Or is it too late?
