Preventive Measures In Poultry Farming🐓

✅Vaccination - plays an important part in the health management of the poultry flock. There are numerous diseases that are prevented by vaccinating the birds against them. A vaccine helps to prevent a particular disease by triggering or boosting the bird’s immune system to produce antibodies that in turn fight the invading causal organisms.

✅Indentifying and Treating Sick Bird - Many things contribute to ill health in birds. Improper diets are one of the most common causes of sickness in pet birds. Trauma, toxicities, poor upkeep, inferior hygiene, stress, bacterial and viral infections, and genetic abnormalities may lead to ill health as well. Just because the bird's outward appearance is normal does not mean the bird is healthy. Any deviation from normal should be taken as a sign of ill health and you should contact your veterinarian immediately. The following lists provide general symptoms of a sick bird:

Poor physical appearance (feathers look ruffled or unkempt)
1. changes in vocalization
2. fluffed feathers (looks fatter)
3. not eating, changes in eating habits, or reduced appetite
4. changes in amount of drinking
5. weakness
6. drooping wings
7. distended abdomen
8. listlessness, inactivity, depression
9. reluctance to move
10. sleeping more
11. trauma or bleeding
12. dramatic changes in weight (increased or decreased)

✅Practicing Biosecurity - Biosecurity is the prevention of disease causing agents entering or leaving any place where they can pose a risk to farm animals, other animals, humans, or the safety and quality of a food product.

Good biosecurity should be practised at all times, not just during a disease outbreak. Taking the right measures in the early stages of an outbreak e.g. before we know disease is in the country, can help prevent or reduce its spread.

✅Parasite Control - is a critical element of poultry health management, encompassing both internal and external threats to the flock's well-being. Internal parasites, such as worms, can cause a range of issues, including weight loss and decreased egg production. Regular deworming protocols are implemented to prevent these complications, ensuring the chickens remain healthy and productive. External parasites, such as mites and lice, can lead to skin irritation and feather loss, impacting the overall welfare of the flock.

Proactive measures in parasite control involve routine examinations and targeted treatments, minimizing the risk of infestations. The frequency of these interventions may vary based on factors like environmental conditions and the specific challenges faced by the poultry farm. By adopting a comprehensive approach to parasite control, poultry farmers can maintain a healthy and thriving flock, reducing the economic impact of parasitic infections and ensuring the overall success of their operation.

✅Separating Multi-Age Flock - As soon as new birds arrive, keep them separate from the rest of the flock. This allows you to monitor the birds closely and prevent any possible illness from spreading to either group.

New birds have often traveled a fair amount and been near other birds – and your existing flock may have built immunity to germs in your area. Keep new birds in a separate room or coop for 30 days and monitor them to make sure they are free of disease and to acclimate them to your backyard.

During this period, work with the existing flock first and wash your hands between groups to prevent any cross-contamination.

A similar quarantine plan is recommended for new chicks, as older hens can transmit disease to chicks and pullets. For chicks, though, the separation should last for 18 weeks to help the birds reach mature size and transition onto a layer feed before meeting other members of the flock.

Eek! W**d 'em & Reap has been an inspiration for us for years.

As someone who breeds and TRAINS therapy chickens, unless it’s EXPLICITLY stated as an TRAINED emotional support pet, it’s not one.

Due to unforeseen events, and until further notice, we will no longer be offering any animals, hatching eggs, babies, or farm goods.

I will still be hosting my MONTHLY Selma Farmers Market and Flock Swap, Santa photos at Pets of Tractor Supply Garner NC in November and December, and 101 classes on chickens, goats, ducks, and more starting back up in January.

All animals have been, or in the process of, rehomed to friends and fellow breeders. So please do not message me asking about prices.

Due to Hurricane Debby (that hopefully will be downgraded a lot by the time she hits) the Garner Flock Swap & Farmers Market is tentatively still scheduled but follow the tagged event page for the most up to date info!

We will cancel in the event of severe weather, otherwise the swap and market is still rain or shine.

Be safe the next few days!

Wilda has a funny -how we met- story. We actually went in to adopt a different dog, a full husky. We had an appointment to adopt her, but unbeknownst to us or the Wake County SPCA Adoption Center, the foster had rehomed her days prior (illegally). The shelter felt bad and offered us another dog, so we looked around and found this girl on her first day up for adoption. She was tied up at a construction site. No clue why as she's gorgeous and super lovable. Mostly lab and husky and all our love! #whynotwyandotteandflock #vetrenowned #wnwaf #smallfarm #urbanhomestead #rescuedog #labrador #labsky #husky #huskador #wakespca

Had to jump on the trend, especially after the girls got attacked! Thank you to Johnston County Animal Protection League for bringing us and Pharaoh together! She is my love and heart! #whynotwyandotteandflock #vetrenowned #wnwaf #smallfarm #urbanhomestead #rescuedog #doberman #malinois #jcapl #dobermallove
