Marek's disease is a highly contagious disease that is spread in the environment. It causes gasping, lethargy, loss of appetite, leg paralysis, and high death rate but there is a vaccine for Mareks.
An outbreak is more expensive than prevention through vaccination. Learn more by visiting the Link In Bio and talk to your veterinarian about vaccination.

La enfermedad de Marek es una infección altamente contagiosa que se propaga en el entorno. Provoca dificultad para respirar, letargo, pérdida de apetito, parálisis de las patas y una alta tasa de mortalidad; sin embargo, existe una vacuna para prevenirla.
Un brote resulta más costoso que la prevención mediante la vacunación. Obtenga más información visitando el Link In Bio (En Inglés) y consulte a su veterinario sobre la vacunación.

Are you seeing raised leg scales? Check out those chicken legs. Seeing raised scales could be a sign of Scaly Leg Mites. An infestation is painful and can lead to lameness if left untreated.
1) Clean your chicken’s legs with a bristle brush and a gentle soap, such as Dawn. Not hard, just to help break up the colony and excrement.
2) Make sure to dry them thoroughly and apply petroleum jelly. This suffocates the mites.
3) Clean and disinfect your coop and change their bedding to get rid of any infestation. Heavy infestations may require professional assistance.
4) Inspect your birds daily to reapply petroleum jelly.
5) If no improvement within a few days or your bird worsens (ex. redness, swelling, foul smell), contact your trusted poultry veterinarian.

¿Observas escamas levantadas en las patas? Examina bien las patas de tus gallinas. La presencia de escamas levantadas puede ser señal de ácaros de las patas (ácaros de la sarna). Esta infestación es dolorosa y, si no se trata, puede provocar cojera.
1) Limpia las patas de la gallina con un cepillo de cerdas y un jabón suave (como Dawn). No frotes con fuerza; el objetivo es simplemente ayudar a desprender la colonia de ácaros y los excrementos.
2) Asegúrate de secarlas bien y aplica vaselina. Esto asfixia a los ácaros.
3) Limpia y desinfecta el gallinero y cambia el material del suelo (cama) para eliminar cualquier rastro de la infestación. Las infestaciones graves pueden requerir ayuda profesional.
4) Inspecciona a tus aves a diario para volver a aplicar vaselina.
5) Si no observas mejoría en unos días o el estado del ave empeora (por ejemplo, si presenta enrojecimiento, hinchazón o mal olor), consulta a tu veterinario especialista en aves de confianza.

What are fomites? Anything that can carry germs from a sick bird to your flock. ANYTHING! Your hands, clothes, shoes, feed containers, cages/carriers, and even Fido’s paws. Your dog may be great with your chickens, but the chances that your dog’s paws are getting sanitized are slim to none. That doesn’t mean you should sanitize their paws either. That’s a whole lot of wrong. Just don’t let your dog comingle with your flock. They can be predator-protection unless you have a scared Yorkshire terrier. In that case, they need predator protection too.

Sí, cualquier persona que visite su gallinero debe usar zapatos de gallinero y también debe usar un baño de pies.
¿Qué son los fómites? Cualquier cosa que pueda transportar gérmenes de un ave enferma a su rebaño. ¡CUALQUIER COSA! Sus manos, ropa, zapatos, contenedores de alimento, jaulas / portadores e incluso las patas de Fido. Su perro puede ser excelente con sus pollos, pero las posibilidades de que las patas de su perro se desinfecten son escasas o nulas. Eso tampoco significa que debas desinfectar sus patas. Eso está muy mal. Simplemente no dejes que tu perro se mezcle con tu parvada. Pueden ser de protección contra depredadores a menos que tengas un Yorkshire terrier asustado. En ese caso, también necesitan protección contra depredadores.

We are celebrating with the Emu egg. An adult emu egg is around 3.5 inches (9 cm) wide and 5 inches (13 cm) long. It weighs between 1.2 and 1.5 pounds, which is about the same as ten or twelve large chicken eggs.

The egg tastes similar according to those who have age them. They do have a larger egg yolk to egg white ratio. Check out this video by Food Enthusiast, Emmymade. LinkInBio. Would you try one? Let us know in the comments.

Celebramos el Día Nacional del Huevo con el huevo de Emú. Un huevo de emú adulto mide alrededor de 9 cm (3,5 pulgadas) de ancho y 13 cm (5 pulgadas) de largo. Pesa entre 1,2 y 1,5 libras, lo que equivale aproximadamente a diez o doce huevos de gallina grandes.

El huevo tiene un sabor parecido según quienes los hayan envejecido. Tienen una proporción mayor de yema de huevo y clara de huevo. Mire este video de Food Entusiasta, . EnlaceEnBio. ¿Probarías uno? Háganos saber en los comentarios.
