So sorry you had to do that. It's never easy making the decision to end a life.
I personally envy your ability to take care of it yourself. I can't even watch the videos showing how to do it humanely.
I've had 2 of my girls euthanized but had the neighbors take care of it for me. The second time was because of their dog so that one seemed fitting.

Thank you . Honestly, we used an air rifle and hubs shot her. It's quick, that's what we wanted. I was there but that's all.

Those decisions are very difficult to make. I'm sorry you've had to go through it too. I took care of 2 quail myself that weren't doing well. I hated it but couldn't let them suffer. Once you do it it seems to get a little easier.

Some time ago my friend lost all three of her house chickens - almost a day apart. Couldn't stand but if she hand fed them ate plenty. I think it was Mareks. Her 2 seramas never went outside but, her silkie did- I think she brought it to them.

I've come to understand that it can be carroed on your shoes, clothes etc. Anything is possible.

I've told my son to buy a pair of flip flops he can leave here. Shoes from his place are not allowed even just in my house so we don't cross contaminate.

It can even be carried in the air/breeze. I've read that the Fayoumi breed has high resistance to Mareks. But don't know if anyone is trying to breed in resistance by using them.

Yes, I did. She's doing better this morning. Not completely normal, but better. She's walking freely and her flanks are down in size. They don't feel taut any more. She still acts like something's hurting a bit.

Do you feed free choice baking powder?

Mr.Sean I have to attribute everything I am - to a hearty diet of ice cream. I know you like some but, the benefits may be destroyed by eating veggies .

I like veggies, trying to get hubby to cook more!

I think I generally"bend" when falling because of vertigo. I get dizzy then just kinda melt down all relaxed (dazed). Don't have bone density to speak of. Trying to be much more careful in rising/laying down- very slowly
