Ok, so I've done some research this weekend, and am pretty sure I'm dealing with CRD. Although I'm still going to send a couple of birds off to MSU to find out for sure, I'm gonna start giving them antibiotics(Terramycin. ) tomorrow. So, if the tests come back positive for CRD, I've a few questions... 1. Has anyone dealt with CRD before? 2. Are the birds that recover safe for human consumption? 3. Are the birds that recover safe to use as breeder birds? 4. Do I have to medicate every so often, or is this something I'll have to do regularly? 5. And most importantly, how do I get rid of it permanently? I understand bleaching the obvious things like waterers, feeders, cages, brooders, etc. But how do I eliminate it from the soil/flight pens and keep it gone. My goal is to raise disease free birds, ones I can be proud to sell. Thanks for any help that you can give!!!
