Well we gave her 1cc around 6:30pm and then left for a meeting. Just got back and she is gone.

Well, that sux. With her going that fast, there's a good chance it was Marek's Disease instead of a vitamin deficiency. You would have to necropsy to know for sure. Vitamin deficiencies are treatable if you catch them in time, with Marek's, there is no treatment.

Just checked YouTube, they have chicken exams, necropsy. I put in Neocropsy on chicken for Mareks I got several. I have not watched them yet. I have the belief that knowing is always good, sadly animals can not tell you how they feel, or were it huts. They hide illness.

Flower, I will see if they are ready when I leave. If the milkweed is ripe I will get soom pods. Anyone easle want any?

Yes,, I'll take a few! !! =D

So as far as meat goes, would you wait a certain period before processing or never use the meat? I know your not for treating strickly meat birds but i was just wondering if say a hen was treated with it then became an egg eater or something????

Good question? Any answers to this one please?

That may be a good idea. ..

Marek's is actually caused by at least 6 different types of herpesvirus, and can take several different forms. One form affects the skin and follicles,causing small brownish/reddish tumors that are externally visible, so this is the easiest to diagnose. Another form causes tumors in muscles, usually on the back of the thighs, sometimes also externally visible. Other forms attack the nervous system, causing paralysis, and still another type causes tumors in the internal organs.
Nasty stuff, and much more common than people realize.

My brother has Dish Wi-FI, dish is great if you have no other option such as as traveling and location. But weather (cloud cover & storms) really miss with it. I have it, then I don't. It has been raining and thunderstorms the last couple of days. I used up 57 GB on my data plan so no back up. I wish data would have a turn over plan of unused GB. When I was at my friends in MO, I did not have phone service so no data, in town I used McDonald or Burger King. Oh! Note: Burger King blocks such things as audible, so you can not down load books. There are a number of other sites as well. I seldom when there because of that. I have sense talked to others that eat breakfast or lunch were they had Wi-Fi that would not eat at Burger King do to blocked sites. Some, I understand, being family fast food, but we are so accustomed to not being censored it feels invasive.

Until the storms are over 1000 miles plus away Stop posting so much!!!! it takes me for ever to read, and in inevitably I miss something because I do not go back far enough!

I am thinking of buying my own mobile dish... Then I will in good weather keep up.

You definitely would want to keep it dry, or it wouldn't make much of a dust bath! I use a concrete mixing tub with sand and DE, think I'll clean out the barbie and throw the ashes in with it. As long as it's dry, I don't see any problem with it. My chickens are running my life!

Now that I think about it, I have a bunch of coconut coir blocks I use for mixing with potting soil. Wonder what that would smell like when burning?

In Pima County, we are not allowed to burn outside unless we get a permit from the Fire Dept. I save up my ashes from winter fireplace burning. The first time I put some in the chicken pens, they ate a lot of it and had black poop! But it did not seem to hurt them.

I burn things in my kitchen all the time.
