I can't copy it for some reason. When I click on it it just downloads the PDF to my phone. I'm reading it now.

I think I understand about 40% of the words in those but they are helpful words. Looks like sinus nonsense is most often bacterial.

I sterilized the cage after it happened, but didn't immediately view the death as suspicious knowing that if any bird I had was going to spontaneously malfunction it was him.

I think I will separate his cagemates out today with their whole cage (configurable stackers, woot woot). I expected him to be depressed for a while after it happened, started looking at him slightly sideways last night, and he doesn't look better today (although the hen he's in with is fine).

Ack, in other news, I just caught the hen from my best-producing albeit "roo-only" pair happily murdering an egg. That might be two strikes for her. I have a lot of sons.

Duckling is telling the quail babies to stay still so she can measure them.
They went a full half an hour without heat before I turned it back on because we were going outside. I didn’t want them to be cold while I wasn’t there to help.

Here’s wonky feet. We tried putting shoes on, but they didn’t stay.

I just candled them all.
I pulled 10 clears and two quitters on day 5.

of the 30 eggs I have left I think about half look good the other half I think look crappy.

It's official I have not lost hope yet.

The two quitters.

The 30 I have left... About half of them look like this.

I'm not calling it yet but I'm pretty sure I murdered them.
