Such good info!

I’ve been researching mycoplasma in chickens. It’s basically a respiratory illness in poultry. For the longest time I thought it was a death sentence for poultry. After speaking with Texas A&M pathology department; I’ve found out that first it’s not as serious as I thought. Second it’s not even reported in Texas. Nor does it affect any of your sales of poultry- as 65% of all flocks contain this bacteria. Just as my NPIP tester explained to me; it’s basically a seasonal shift.
The pathologist said, it’s actually a good thing once they get it bcuz they become immune to it- nor would he ever get rid of a bird with it.
We here are doing our best to stay free of MG or MS, but as the lab explained to me- it’s near impossible unless your birds stay indoors 24/7 and even then it’s not guaranteed.
We have culled every bird unfortunately with any signs of a simple sneeze for the past 2 years; we have lost some really good birds due to my paranoia.
We recently had 2 birds with a slight cold, we culled 1 and took the other into vet for a blood test for mycoplasma. Although the test results will be fairly useless regarding my conversation with the lab. He informed me chances of it being positive are extremely high as most flocks will test positive. He advised me to just help our clients understand it’s normal and how to remedy the illness. We do use a medicine (denagard) here as preventative, but just know it’s near impossible to avoid and very common for all poultry to get colds. We should get our test results back in a few weeks- We do everything we can to maintain our flocks, stay ethical, and sell healthy birds no matter what it costs us- we usually spend 100’s of dollars annually on testing … just know we aren’t immune to getting these lil chicken bugs.

Hey y’all, It isn’t always evident the worm load your chickens have, and the cold can zap their systems, so this is your friendly reminder to plan on deworming your chickens.

Safe-Guard (fenbendazole) oral drench removes and controls: Stomach worms, Lungworms, Hookworm, Nodular worms, etc. 3cc per gallon of water for two days, it must be their only source of water. Repeat after 14 days.

For the fall, feeding chickens pumpkin seeds is a fun treat and preventative but will not help with an infestation. ACV doesn’t help with worm management, it is an acidifier which helps calcium absorption and lowers gut ph, but is good for bacterial issues and sour crop.

Fenbendazole is not to be used on molting chickens as it causes damage to growing feathers. For molting birds, use Pyrantel Pamoate instead.

Got to love when a young cockerel starts developing into something you like. This boy is showing great type. A nice back too, which can help in breeding! Not too long, not too short. We think this little 5 month old boy will be a keeper!!

Breeding is an art! Pick strengths in a mate that are lacking in the other. For example, this boy has hard tail feathering so he needs girls with very soft cushions to help correct that. Sometimes those hard feathers from dads cushion will help keep wings from twisting or becoming overly shredded. Breeding two birds with opposite strengths will help your program tremendously. We spend hours evaluating our birds! Breeding two "perfect" birds hardly ever creates the same outcome. (PS there isnt a perfect bird)

Just a bit of Red Barn advice.

Well after 29 days of being broody, one of my paint hens decided to lay an egg & it was a soft shell egg! I tried to get her to eat some oysters shell but she wasn’t interested!
What all do you feed your laying hens to add calcium to their diet?
I have poultry grit too but she doesn’t seem to care about that either
