Also, don't forget that you need to fill out a SIGNED SUBMISSION FORM if you send them in for necropsy.
Use the Standard Submission Form

Thanks, I printed it out. I had them in a quarantine brooder even though the seller is someone I'd consider good and trustworthy, I'm just paranoid.

Hmm... I bought 8 chicks from a local breeder. Five have died within the first day or two. I think I'm sending in a few to Davis just for peace of mind. I just need to call and get the FedEx account number in the morning, since we only have a drop box in town.

You can send two per day for necropsy.

I am so sorry!

Wow! So sorry to see this. We talk about moving to the Placerville area once my DH retires. I love the woods but this is one definite downside to living in a forested area.

Really which location were you at the one in Pleasant Hill or one of the other ones I didnt think they had animals currently


Their last delivery of animals was early June. I havent seen chicks or anything in months.

I was at the one in Dublin.

I was at the one in Dublin.

I would contact the main office in Pleasant hill. I'm fairly certain they would want to know if someone there was doing something like this.

Quantity depends on the lab and the pathologist. I once sent in three peafowl, which they are supposed to charge for (gamebirds are not free) and two chicks and they did all five at no charge. The pathologists can and do waive charges, so call and ask.

I'm not sure I'd trust what they said today, I had to talk to three people before they found one who wasn't telling me they didn't have a FedEx account.

I am not surprised. It is the end of summer and the Fall Quarter starts in a week--Summer help for phones are not as reliable and regular staff will be taking last minute vacations.

It is a University after all so runs on University time.

Two should be plenty for a Necropsy.

How are the survivors doing today.

Well, eating and milling about the brooder.
