Thank you for the clarification. Poultry seem susceptible to so many things.

Thank you for the clarification. Poultry seem susceptible to so many things.

If you practice good biosecurity, never let folks tramp through your chicken yard, especially if they also own chickens, plus never buy started birds from auctions or flea markets and always question the health practices of whatever breeder you may buy from, you mitigate the risk. My flocks have never had anything contagious in the over 20 years I've owned chickens so it can be done if you are very cautious and understand the nature of disease and transmission.

Folks, Mark in the post above on his wife's account was letting me know that his lovely wife, Cheryl, a good longtime friend to me and many others on the forum, has passed away. Those who know getaclue (Cheryl) will miss her terribly. Please keep her husband in your thoughts and prayers. She was amazing in so many ways.
