And on a lighter note, here's my surviving plague birds enjoying some watermelon. Excuse their gross faces, they kept trying to rub the watermelon juice off into the dirt with predictable results.

Hi folks! A few months back I bought birds from a man which ended up testing positive for ILT (the brahma was mildly symptomatic from day one, and when one of them deteriorated to hacking blood I brought her to Campus Estate Animal Hospital where the test was done). The birds he sold me also had fea...

I reported the ad he had up, and it's no longer there today (though I'm not sure whether it was him or kijiji that took the ad down)

I brought home my first 3 chickens last month, and unfortunately as of today they've tested positive for ILT. At this point, it seems like all 3 will make a full recovery. One of my vets said that I should euthanize them all regardless, as they'll be lifelong carriers, but my other vet said that I d...

My vet told me that she had already reported my ILT test results. I asked whether I should pass along this man's name and phone number, but she declined to take it. I'm not sure why.

My Brahma seemed to improve after the medication regime, but then other two started crashing. My black pullet was p...

Thanks so much, I'll give him a call!

Or alternatively, are there any hatcheries or breeders around that sell ILT vaccinated birds?
