Starting Over: Our Experience with Mycoplasma in the Chicken Flock

Welcome to Kakadoodle's YouTube channel! Here, we share our journey of building a sustainable and locally sourced food system. Our channel is all about sharing our experiences, both the good and the bad, as we navigate the challenges and triumphs of farming.

In this video, we share a particularly difficult story about our chickens and the lessons we learned about microplasma. This disease can cause symptoms like sneezing, goopy eyes, labored breathing, and decreased egg production, and can sometimes lead to death. Our chickens were diagnosed with microplasma after we took them to the vet, and despite our best efforts to cure them, we were eventually forced to make the difficult decision to call them and start fresh.

The experience was heart-wrenching and showed us the harsh realities of life on the farm. But despite the challenges, we remain more optimistic than ever about the future of Kakadoodle. Our goal is to be the most convenient way for everyone to access local food, and we're excited to share our journey with you. Whether you're an experienced farmer or simply someone who is curious about life on the farm, we hope you'll join us and continue to learn with us.
