Thanks for your update and good luck.

They could get a fecal test on a body with a stool swab without opening a body most likely.

Glad you are out of the hospital, and glad they think it’s not Mareks. Do you know what test they did, such as PCR test on feather shafts. Usually, I’m told that it is done on feather shafts and tumor tissue, tumors which may be found internally. We always like to know how things are dealt with...

Glad to hear things are getting back to normal, and that no one else is sick. Your banties sound really sweet. And to hear crows again after silence is wonderful. I would just use either of the poultry vitamins, since multi B’s are the ones needed, not just B12. Mareks testing is not very...

I would probably start the Corid. If you have the liquid, give the sick ones a drench of 2 drops of undiluted Corid twice a day, and let them drink the Corid water. If you have the powder to make the drench, mix 1.5 tsp in 2 tsp of water, and give 2 drops twice a day. The severe outbreak dosage...
