Newcastle Disease: Signs, Symptoms, & Treatments

Newcastle disease in birds is characterized by a sudden onset of clinical signs which include hoarse chirps (in chicks), watery discharge from nostrils, labored breathing (gasping), facial swelling, paralysis, trembling, and twisting of the neck. See signs, symptoms and treatments below.

The highly contagious and lethal form of Newcastle disease is known as viscerotropic (attacks the internal organs) velogenic Newcastle disease, VVND, exotic Newcastle disease, or Asiatic Newcastle disease. VVND is not present in the United States poultry industry at this time.

How the Newcastle Virus is Transmitted
Transmission: The Newcastle virus can be transmitted short distances by the airborne route or introduced on contaminated shoes, caretakers, feed deliverers, visitors, tires, dirty equipment, feed sacks, crates, and wild birds. Newcastle virus can be passed in the egg, but Newcastle-infected embryos die before hatching. In live birds, the virus is shed in body fluids, secretions, excreta, and breath.
Newcastle Virus Treatment & Prevention
Treatment: There is no specific treatment for Newcastle disease. Antibiotics can be given for 3-5 days to prevent secondary bacterial infections (particularly E. coli ). For chicks, increasing the brooding temperature 5°F may help reduce losses.
Prevention: Prevention programs should include vaccination, good sanitation, and implementation of a comprehensive biosecurity program.

I have always provided this website free to the public. There are many costs associated with this website that I cannot afford. Our rescued chickens need feed, supplies, and medical care. I work very hard to provide for their needs but it is not enough. Every penny counts toward this site and their care. If you would like to help you can, just for the price of a cup of coffee

What Chicken Heaven On Earth is Really About

Chicken Heaven On Earth is a rescue sanctuary for abused, abandoned, and unwanted Easter pets. We take in birds, cats, donkeys, and other animals in need of a home or have health issues and find ways to heal them and re-home them if possible with our primary focus being on rescuing unwanted, abused, and abandoned chickens. I have always felt that caging unwanted pets in tiny cages or stinky kennels is so wrong. We do not do that our rescues are allowed to free range or if they don't play well with others, are cornered in a large enough area to be comfortable and roam on fresh ground with safe shelter at night and during inclement weather. This is a small farm operation in need of expansion. We feel that the more helpful chicken care information is available for chicken owners, the more likely they are to take good care of them. I also feel that it is important to see the great things about chickens, like how smart and sweet they are. Unlike most bird and animal sanctuaries, We get money to support our rescues the old fashioned way-we earn it. When you purchase items from our site, you are helping to support our rescued birds and animals. Every product is hand selected for it's quality and best customer reviews to make sure you get a good product at a fair price. Everything I know about chickens is on these pages. We also sell and deliver farm fresh eggs from truly free range hens, locally in Palo Pinto and Parker County, Texas
