I know there are people that will choose to cull, and that's fine, I'm not gonna give you any grief, I promise, , and I understand why you would want to.
Some will choose to see a vet, and that really is the best option for those that don't want to cull all sick birds, and one I would do if I...

Would you seek veterinary care?
Would you cull? If culling, why?

No longer being sold at my TSC are:
