Tests for poultry diseases in Australia

Chicken disease pops up with a sick hen or a mystery illness going through the chicken flock. There are many chicken diseases that have similar symptoms and treatment can be like a guessing game. It helps to examine chicken disease using differential diagnosis. This is because mostly these diseases have a lot of common symptoms. The trick is to see the differences which distinguish each disease. Many times this will inadequate because the disease will actually be several diseases at once. All of these problems produce birds with ruffled feathers, closed eyes, standing in the corner looking unwell, the so called “sick bird look”. Get informed with the Poultry Hub’s disease pages.
