pigeonjake Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 mate on another thread you was telling everyone you had newcastle disease, i personaly wouldnt buy chicks from a farm that had that in the last 6 months, its a killer and very hard to get rid of, in the uk they would just slaughter the lot, there is no cure for it, but good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was telling that but appears that I panicked after 3 birds died Now couple of days already and no new signs of Newcastle... and even young chicks (26 birds, 3 weeks old) which I hatched for myself are in the same coop with rest of the flock. All my young are vaccinated with the combination Newcastle-Infectious Bronchitis vaccine. And I know that there is no cure this disease... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kularion Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 some times when bird are lifeless like that i would put it down to coxcidioses,(spelling?) I had few chickens like that but I was told that this can be also because mosquitoes eat them during the night and later during the day they want sleep and have no power to look for food... and in the circle like that... and is better to put them down as they will no recover on their own.

pigeonjake Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 i dont agree with the mozzi bit, but thats jusy my opinion, one thing they would eat them, i would plum for cocsi, more so if you have them locked up on a soil floor, the soil gets coxi in it and it goes into the birds, they become lifeless and poo green loose a lot of weight and then die it take a few days, you can get treatment from the vet, but again i stress this is just my opinion, im, no expert just kept chickens and other birds most of my life, good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean lifeless. Now all looks ok. Walking and eating all day. I don't keep them locked at all... they go out and in the coop when they want. Floor in the coop is made out of concrete and on there is layer of rise leftovers (Thai - gap). Chickens sleeps on roosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You came on another thread and was "Certain" that you birds had New Castles Disease and not you are "Certain" they don't. If you didn't have them tested post mortem, then you just don't know. If you did have NCD and any of the birds survived then they are carriers and you have a problem until you replace your flock (not just 6 months). Maybe you had something else and if it is viral, tit is the same as NCD. In any case if I roll up to hour place can you you in all honesty tell me your flock has no viral infections or carriers? I also agree with Jake about coccidiosis except that if your birds are on the ground then there is very close to a 100% chance that they have one or more of the 5 common strains in Thailand. The thing with coccidiosis is that you don't always see symptoms. If the birds are not stresses and are well fed and have relatively clean food and water they can continue on with no outward signs. The problem arises when the birds become stressed for whatever reason like a change in weather or when harried by mosquitos and can't get any rest. I treat regularly for coccidiosis and cull any bird that looks off for any reason immediately (my BIL loves this). I am a big fan of raising poultry, but if you really want to do this, consider doing a little more homework. There are a ton of sites that will help. I would be very cautious about youtube and would look for sites of Universities and government agencies. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBullHorn Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I had this back then with sam-sai-leard (3 cross), went to the shop that sell chicken feed... tell the shopkeeper its symptom and sold me a small bottle of med solution about 30cc , it is a green colour liquid medicine. Applied it to drinking water (a few droplets) and... HEAL !!! Can't remember the name because it was year 2000. Those with symptom I must force feed them the mix with syringe.

But what I read until now about NCD there is rather no way that only 3 birds out of over 200 get sick and died and the rest is ok... special that as they say as adult chicken can survive NDC as it is 100% mortal for small chicks. And even one small from general coop didn't died. I wasn't aware about this coccidiosis stuff so I have to get into it Thanks for advise and thanks to RBH - I will check for this green colour liquid medicine I will check how my flock will do further - so far so good even I get really scared when I lost those 3 birds and as I'm new to this I think I over reacted. Will also rise my small chicks which I have already (together 53 already and 2 hens still on eggs) and keep you guys posted about progress. Incubator has been ordered already and first days of the new year I should be ready to hatch chicks on my own. Btw I see a lot of those "gai ban" walking around and no one care about them and they don't get sick somehow No NCD Coccid etc Maybe that's the way And to cheer you up guys here is me with Tamara - one of my favorite hens - only favorite have names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeonjake Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 stick at it mate youll be ok, all birds carry cocsidiosis, its natural, but, when under stress it can flare up to a high degree and thats when you have problems, like you run, yes its quite big, but in the rainy season will turn to mud, big problems, cocidiosis thrives in damp conditions, is there any way you would be able to make another run to let it grass and weed up,? this way you could run them on one part while the other was grassing and weeding up again, i do this for my ducks, my chickens just have the free run of our farm, only 2 rai, they soon sort themselfs out into groups led by a cockeral, we have the house group who are allway in my garden,,lol 1 cockeral and 6 hens, the barn group, the pig pen group to the left and the pig pen group to the right, its sound funny but they do have there own territiory, i think if you could have 2 runs would be better more so in the rainy season as its easier to walk on grass and weed then it is mud for you to do feed and drinkers, good luck mate, and merry christmas from us at thaifarmlife.com yes thats us we have a small website ive been building,,lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a while since there was a die off and it has the price of Gai Ban in the market down some. That in turns makes it more difficult to sell other chickens like spent layers. Usually the die off happens after the first rains around Songkran. As PJ said coccidiosis goes wild in the moisture and when the birds are stressed from it, any other illness overwhelms them. You are right that only 3 hens out of 200 is not bad and this is especially true because your birds are spent layers and have had a hard life. If you really want to know what is hurting your flock, there are government centers where you can send you dead hens and they will do an autopsy. I sent quail and a chicken to the office in Phitsanoluk years ago. Even my quail raised in cages had coccidiosis. Be very careful with medications. The ones for coccidiosis and parasites tend to be very rough on the birds. Also you need to be aware of the period after that you can not sell the eggs. There is a med I think comes in a green and white bottle called Sulfamet and it treats Coccidiosis. There are no meds for viruses and using antibiotics if it isn't bacterial is a waste. You are going to have to find the practices that make you comfortable and productive. I myself do not vaccinate and very rarely chemically medicate. If I see a bird that is off, I cull. A sick bird will probably die or be killed by the others and can cause them to become ill. If they don't die they will not be as productive and will lose money. I do provide Basil on a regular basis. I keep a dust bath available for all the chickens with sand, wood ash and Diatomaceous Earth. (DE). DISCLAIMER: I sell DE through the classifieds. I provide my quail a dust bath about once a month in their cages and may give them a dusting every so often. I add DE to all the feed every month or so if they are getting stressed. I powder the roosts, floors, and nests periodically to control lice. I hit their water with Effective microorganism about monthly and I have just started giving the Cider vinegar periodically. I spray Cages and coops with EM periodically. I still lose a bird now and then......it is just something you have to accept, but it is a little sad every time it happens. Good luck with your flock.

MaeJoMTB Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I had a sick mallard this year. He just lay on his side for three days not eating or drinking. The misses poured water in his bill every now and again. He recovered, no quack for a further three weeks. But after that fully recovered. Wish I had the space to keep chickens.
