Good afternoon forum members,

Was waiting unto they attain two weeks before making any other post on their updates.
So today is Day15 and we administered Gumboro Vaccine, they're really hardy birds and very energetic (stubborn).
The grow really fast that sometimes we think they grow over night, as ever morning we get to the farm, it looks like they add weight as the the night passes, they have started loosing their baby chick feathers.
Below are some pictures from their 2 weeks of age!

And so,
We just finished weighting all the birds, and we found an average weight of 450grams (96% of the birds) while the biggest weighted 500grams, the smallest weighted 150 gram (just one with this weight).
Find below few images from the weighting process

This first picture is the heaviest
The second picture is the lightest
The two other pictures are just to show the average weight gain, they grow uniformly

I have lost 6 birds in the last 7 days and I just noticed this (picture attached) on one of the birds this evening.
Is it contagious? Should I isolate it from the other birds?
What's the cause and the treatment?

Yes isolate the bird, it's an infection, and I think it's called coryza but I'm still very new to poultry farming and it's better we allow the experienced folks in the game aid in solving the issue

It is likely coryza , Poor ventilation, and wet litter with ammonia gas build up in the pen are the major causes.

Thanks for your replies,
I have been giving them antibiotics for the last 7 days and yet experience 1 death per day.
I don't think the ventilation is bad. They are in a corner of a very big room

PS: I met the sick bird dead this morning.

Looks like a pox? This below was given to me when I visited Agro allied store with same issue.

I bought something similar.
Only that bird died after showing that symptom (swollen pox-like face).
All the birds are on antibiotics but they are still dying. Two died yesterday. One has died today.
But most of the birds look very healthy.

Re: My Poultry Farming Experience! by Youngext: 6:23pm On May 29, 2020
Good evening pals,
We decided to be updating the thread every once a while, so you all will be seeing significant differences.
Well they're 3 weeks and 4 days now, How do you see them below?

Re: My Poultry Farming Experience! by Youngext: 6:27pm On May 29, 2020
We also received deliveries of another set of 150 OBJ Marshal Broilers from our ibadan plug @Preemah Agro. And they're 5 days now from hatch out, and we gave Lasota vaccine today.

Try using foreign drugs like tylodox; penprovit. All those drug you posted there pics do not dissolve in water. They settle down under the water.

@todto
These were the medications I got on my last trip to an agro store
The red liquid is virucine.
Despite these medications I lost 5 birds today.

Sorry bro. How old are your birds? How good is their ventilation? Is it close to what you can see from the Op's picture posts? How clean is their litter?

They'll be 5 weeks tomorrow.
Ventilation is excellent. It's a big storage room with 2 windows. I created a cubicle for them at one of the sides so they can be closer to one another and stay warm.
I clean their litter everyday and put wood shavings for them.

Ventilation is no longer good @ 5 weeks. You should move them outdoor (isolate the sick among them), they need fresh air from all the 4 sides and not heat (warm) at that age. I wish them quick recovery.
