My flock has had white diarrhea and occasional respiratory issues since the end of May/ beginning of June, diagnostic testing and a vet isn’t an option currently so I know it’s anyone’s guess what my flock actually has.
Some suggestions included renal coccidia, or a very mild form infectious bronchitis.
As of now the white diarrhea happens mainly in the morning and isn’t as noticable as the the day progresses, the mild runny noses, sneezes,and slight gurgles are mostly gone, everyone’s been eating well, but now and then I hear wheezing and I’ve noticed one had a fever last night, some have shown depression/lethargy that either improves by the next day and is gone or comes back the next day or a few days later.
Eggs were never wrinkled except one single egg that had one slight dent in the top, but they did stop laying after that “they’re geese and mine tend to stop laying this time of year anyway so it’s hard to say if they stopped laying because of sickness or just because it’s their normal pattern.”
My question is what was your expierience with confirmed or suspected IB virus? How long did symptoms last?
Did your birds “whatever the species” show similar symptoms “I understand these are non specific symptoms and could be caused by anything,” and do you have any other information about it? “a lot of what I’ve read is kinda vague and sometimes contradictory.”
Or if you had a similar expierience but it turned out to be something other than IB I’m curious to hear about it too.
