Testing Droppings

How many of you have your own Microscope?

Do you test your birds dropping?

Do those of you that do NOT have your own microscope - get your birds dropping tested? And if so When and for What?

I have Phil I've had one for years etc & every year I tell myself     I will take it out of it's box & use it type of thing but it seem's to stay in place for some unknown reason sadly. Maybe I don't wish to disturb the cobwebs    . As far as testing droppings I wouldn't give our Dr Spock here, the pleasure of taking my money .

twice per year I send droppings and swab off ...in febuary for old birds and july for ybs they get tested for cocci,canker,worms and fungal/candida and a bacterial count never had a culture test done though

I have no telescope and we send ours off only if we think there's something seriously wrong .normally just get advice off others

ive been told belgica de weerd are very good, and reasonable priced too......my only problem is I cant do the swab test they ask for,, too squeamish

Haha softie

It's a thing Shippy & we must make allowances at times & just hope the next generation there  of 's, like our wee Alfie etc improves matters as they say .

I send mine to Belgica De Weerd, I think they are the best.

mine go to de weerd , mostly come bk fine so not rip of merchants

agree belgica

well lads if you don't know the difference between a telescope and microscope
