So propagandist field day . My thoughts are this why are there a knock on effects reports ie a lab that builds nucs storing their own waste being reported if something is not up. What stands out is some things happened the pr was put in place for damage control but no one at the facility really...
happening in Australia rufus in Australia "no prostest laws" although the weekends protests did get met with much police inference. I have a query for you all there is a story going around of a radiation leak in a storage facility in albaqueque (sorry if I spelt it wrong) the story says the leak...

They look soooo happy. I have thought bout what you said maybe evenually releasing them. I say don't. We still have duck shooting season here I fear your ducks may meet at terrible end. If you can't keep them please take them a zoo (halls gap would prob take them) or maybe an animal farm. They...
great pics it nice to see the comparison was wondering what the red/buff chicks look like. Thought one in my recent hatch would mature to it but looking at yours not a chance lol oh well have to wait til its bigger to find out what colour it going to be.
Totally deversating. So sad for you. Can't imagine your pain. Don't give up next year is still along way away. Build those pens. You will get thru this.
sorry your still losing them. Your hen looks terrible are others showing signs like that and are the affected birds pens close together. i never seen mg til you linked it. That's a great site we have an Aussie one similar. again sorry it not over yet hope the lab contacts you with good news again.
