Just to remind you that the BWA National is taking place tomorrow. It's a great show for waterfowl enthusiasts and there are always bargains to be had in the sale pens. The venue has changed this year - so don't go heading off to Solihul... It's going to be held at Warwickshire College. More...

These were my original pair of Black Indian Runners that I bout around 2004 / 5

Here's a photo of the youngsters...

Hello (again ;-) ) Great to see you on the forum and excellent news about the Orps. If you have some at the National, bring them over to the corner next to Championship row and we'll get some nice photos of them for the site. Tim

Hello, a warm welcome to the forum from me too.

Hello, and welcome!

A warm welcome from me too.. :-)99

Bertie & the Chooks - They join up and post spam around the forum - when we spot the post, we ban them and remove their posts. It just happened to be this post they chose to spam with a couple of others. Periodically, I'll go through all the banned users, check the IP address to make sure they...

A little late (as always :roll: ) but a warm welcome to the forum Bertie & the Chooks. Sounds like you have a nice size flock there... Tim.

Unless this is a secondary infection caused after a weakening by Blackhead then I'd still say Myco. Yes, Turkeys can get Mycoplasma and so can Ducks / Geese /Pheasants / Partridge / Quail. Mycoplasmas are species specific so your Turkeys / Chickens should not get cross infected. The organisms...

Hello, A very warm welcome from Bedfordshire! Bantams are smaller and there are lots to chose from... Tim

Hello, Welcome to the forum. Thanks for joining us! Tim

Sounds like Mycoplasma Galliscepticum to me. Treatment is the same though - you can't get rid of it, just the secondary infection which comes out as infection in the upper respiritory tract / the symptoms you're seeing. You will need to visit a poultry vet for a propper diagnosis and they will...

Welcome to the forum Henry! Great photos!!

Hello Horndog, A warm welcome to the forum. Thanks for joining us. Tim

Hello and a warm welcome! Hmmm it's quite a common story. Breeders often don't want to take back cockerels - they usually have to kill them and if they swap them with a pullet, they have the cost of them to rear and (in fairness) there is very little money in poultry breeding on a small...

Hello there fourpekingducks A warm welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy your time here. Your ducks names sound very edible... ;-) Technically, I guess they may be Pekin ducks I guess but the English meat trade for Chinese restaurants call a cross between Aylesbury and Pekin 'Peking Duck'...

I know it sounds obvious but could it be the other bird feather picking? Have you seen him remove the feathers himself? The only other thing I can think of is depluming itch mite but this is very rare and I don't know a great deal about it.

Hello and welcome. Yes, sounds like a respritory problem. Chickenvet wrote a great article on Respiratory Disease in Chickens and we made this into an FAQ on the forum. It might be worth reading although it sounds as if you are treating it now anyway. It's also worth checking the breast bone -...

Some lovely hens... a little late but welcome from me too ;-)
