Hi!
I've been raising chickens for forever now and a couple of years ago about 2020ish New Castle struck and killed 3 birds in my flock....just last week on THANKSGIVING DAY my 1 and a half year old Rhode Island Red died with similar symptoms. She was sick 4 days before she died but she wasn't...
A chicken friend of mine has a young house rooster who suddenly became lethargic and his comb turned black at the ends. She’s isolated him for now and he’s had some very wet, green poops. Any idea what could be wrong with him?
The comb is shiny because it has Vaseline on it. No sign of injury...
I have a flock of 16 chickens, about a week ago I noticed one of my roosters had a greenish diarrhoea, but he seemed his normal self so I just kept an eye on him. A few days later I noticed another two had the same situation going on. Two days ago , a hen of mine just dropped dead without...
Hi! I have a flock of eight birds who are seven weeks old. They were vaccinated for marek’s as newborn chicks and I’m using medicated feed to avoid coccidiosis. I am also concerned about Newcastle Disease. I purchased some live virus vaccine. Is it safe to use live virus in their water? How do I...

I've lost track since the encouraging news that only 2 cases were found over the Summer and then the horrible news that there was an entirely new outbreak.
I can't find an official statement on where the quarantine/s stand. Can anyone update me?
Hi,
I need to vaccinate my 6-7 days old chicks for Newcastle disease. I bought Lasota (powder), on its pack its mentioned Doses 100-B. The seller said that I need to mix this in 1000ml of water and let the chicks drink it within in an hour.
My question is what if I want to prepare the mixture...

1. I vaccinated my chicks of a day old by both live(B1 hitchner strain coupled with H120 IBD eye drops) and killed(injection) Newcastle Disease. But I read in a book that baby chicks will inherit their parents antibodies and their immune system may reduce the effect of...

Hi I am a little confused and trying to get information about Newcastle vaccine used for Southern California Chickens.
We have a small group of 3 year old chickens near Long Beach, CA. I am wondering if it would help to get my flock the Newcastle vaccine to help prevent it from coming our way...
I wasn't able to get any chicks this Spring. I can look on CDFA's site and see which counties are subject to the quarantines but I can't see anything about whether or not they're making any progress. All I've found is a vague warning that the quarantines will stay in place until no new cases...
Hello,
Does anyone know anything about the innovax-nd-ibd vaccine which covers Mareks, Newcastle, and Bursal? I've read about it online but cannot find it to buy. Here's the link:

so there’s a poultry ban and I’m in one of the county’s under quarantine. But I have no idea how to check the status on the ban. My husband and I were ready to get chickens when we heard about the ban. Obviously we want to be safe and not risk adding sick animals to our farm. Is there a number I...
They both seem very similar to me and I have been treating my 5 day old baby chick for wry neck. Her neck is not twisted backwards like most cases I have seen, but she walks backwards, loses balances, and her head spins in a circle. She is still eating and drinking on her own and I am giving her...
Hello from sunny southern california.
I volunteer at a local animal shelter and I am aware that the Newcastle dieses Is reported back in our neighborhood. I remember last time we saw it in town it killed off all birds in town. None were spared, it was something out of a horror movie. I have an...
I have three 5 week (Silver Laced Orpington) & 6 week (Easter Egger) old chicks that I want to vaccinate against Mareks before I move them outside to join my small flock of already Mareks-vaccinated chickens (They are 3 years old now).
I recently found out Newcastle Disease is rampant right now...
Exotic Newcastle's Disease has been confirmed in a hobby flock in LA County. Info Here: https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/ahfss/Animal_Health/Newcastle_Disease_Info.html
This has happened twice before, and in both cases millions of poultry were destroyed, including backyard flocks within a certain...
I’m not sure what’s wrong with my little australorp hen, she’s about 2 months old now. Yesterday when I went to her brooder to change her water she was standing up with her head almost between her legs, since then she hasn’t been able to lift her head or even get up and stand.
I’ve googled to...
I had Newcastle Disease about 2 months ago which took all my chickens 64 and I was able to save just one all in the span of 7 days.Can anyone tell me how long it takes before I can once again house new birds in the pens ? I have cleaned with bleach on most everything in chicken house. Even...
