Thankyou for these informative webinares I don't see them live but are good to refer to when topic is needed. Can you do one on machinery oil on chickens. I had a hydrolick oil leak about 60 litres sprayed and leaked out. it took about a year to get the contractor to clean it up. There isn't information on how this affects chickens/farm animals, the danger to them. People seem to think you need a huge oil tanker for it to be unhealthy. It's affected ther fertility, there bones were so inflamed, and livers were black last year this year there livers are getting better but ther kidneys are black and killing them. I haven't got help from local vet and can't travel to an avian vet any more. llS won't help. There dosnt seem to be information on line and people don't seem to think is detrimental arguing you need oiltankers of oil to be harmful. There imunsystems have been weakening making them more susceptible to things like mites etc. The cold seems to be to much. Were in Australia so winter isn't as bad as some other contries and Orpingtons are a large fluffy English bread. But it's just going on deaf ears. Rather blaming me. They were very resilient before,and I had fertility close to 100%. Farmers, contractors and local vets and authorities don't seem worried about oil around sheds etc. Mine was around the house paddock they free range in.

In what regards? Can you be more specific? Is this chickens getting contaminated with machinery oil?

@@PoultryExtension yes that is my belief. General free ranging includes, dust bathing, grubs and bugs from contaminated soil etc. It was the hydrolic oil that leaked. A third set of soil samples indicates the coop where they first got sick also had a higher reading in the orchard just out side it, where they free ranged on rotation in the orchard the coop was in. So he didn't tell me about that spot. Presume it may have spirted out befor it lost pressure and leaked at the machine at the fence. I would move them out then be told they were safe move them back in only to get sick again. I had around 200 birds at the time. I now have 60. But 30 were stolen so not all losses were to this. Not one egg this season from winter to now. Most the pullets and cockerals from last year have died. Fertility was bad and successful hatching was bad as was survival of the chicks. I can't breed this year as there's no eggs to breed with. Usually I'm drowning in eggs, even in winter the pullets used to lay. One of the first signs in the boys fertikity was there tesies went from the size of my thumb before themoil leak to the size of my little finger nail and black or half black at the time of killing after the leak. There has been somthing similar to the symptoms they died from going through back yard flocks here this winter. So I don't know if that is a coincidence and not related or mine got it and was to much with there lowered imunsystems. But I lost the most birds on the cold 🥶 nights. They would get wobbly on ther legs, hungry, eating way more but losing weight, then die. The ones that I have saved have taken a long time to start putting on weight. There is a group that are still skin and bone. Even those that feel well bested are way blow standard weights. The ones that haven't suffered as much and well now were concived from contaminated chooks that were alive before the leak and the chick's were raised in a new coop away from the contamination. I have lost of photos of internal organs etc if interested. But early ones are on an old phone I can't charge.
