I am sort of afraid to ask this because I know it could be a touchy subject....
I have a friend who is an Infection Control Nurse and we got on the subject of the new birds beong in Quaratine...it got me wondering about how people handle quarantine???
What procedure do you follow before you move your new birds in the same space with your current birds?
I have done what my AV recommends .... Q for 45-60 days in a separate building and then take them to the AV and she checks them over and then does labs to test for infectious diseases, if they are healthy and the labs indicate no exposure to any of these diseases.... I can't remember what all she tests for???
But the point my friend made is that if you are going to test for all these diseases, why not just run all the labs when you 1st get them????
