Cathryn,
>It's way more than 40.00 now for testing. Once the birds are vaccinated either they are immune when they go to a show or they get it and die. If they get mareks they are put to sleep and buried. I know all the below and no I would not pay to see if a bird had had mareks, (all by adulthood test positive), et... You are talking too much $$ for testing for a "chicken".
let's leave the money aside, that's really not my point, I am trying to learn more about chickens, diseases, prevention and treatment. You have a lot of experience, you have a vet who also has a lot of bird/chicken experience and over the years you had to deal with a lot of problems with birds and have learned from it. So again, I am not questioning what you do or what you should spend money on, or how much any of it costs. I am looking for answers to my questions.
My chickens don't have monetary value, I don't breed or sell chickens, I don't sell eggs, I love my chickens as pets and I want to know as much as possible about them and in some cases I do take them to the vet for treatment, but my vet is not a bird vet and neither is my farm vet who when I asked him about ivermectin for chickens told me he had never heard of using it on chickens. However my vet is willing to listen and learn and if I can present him with sound information about something he is willing to try and learn something new
So, do you know if chickens have different blood types or if they can tolerate a one time transfusion of another chicken's blood without a problem even if they have a different type if that's what they have?
