Hopefully the rest will be in tomorrow. I will be relieved if it is not Marek's.

It was a kind of strange though. Someone called me from UCD and said they received the bird but there was no paperwork inside. She asked me to fax a copy and since I hadn't "saved" the form on my laptop, I did a much less details version and faxed it over. Then...when this report came over, it had all of the info from the original one. Then I thought about it, and if they didn't get the paperwork, how did they know my phone number???

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

The shipping label for FedEx often requires a phone number.

I got the preliminary report back on my hen that died.  Not much found, but tests are pending.  I am wondering if maybe the other birds were keeping her from eating.  Here is what they say so far:

Case Summary:

08/05/2014: The pullet was in a very poor nutritional condition but no gross lesions were detected in the visceral organs. I will
rely on ancillary laboratory tests to try to determine the cause of disease/death in this chicken. More results to follow.

Laboratory findings/Diagnosis

Backyard pullet -
- Whole body, very poor nutritional condition, with severe atrophy of breast muscles and very scant fat deposits.
- No significant gross lesions detected in the visceral organs.
Tests pending: AI and Salmonella PCR, bacteriology and histology.

Gross Observations:

Necropsy of a white backyard pullet was performed on August 5, 2014 beginning at 1:50 pm. The carcass was very poorly fleshed, had scant fat deposits and the tissues were in a moderate to advanced state of postmortem decomposition. No gross lesions were observed in any of the organs examined, including brain.

It will take 4-5 days for more.

And I agree always always 2-3 food sources. Its a pain but I always have babies so I need an unguarded food source or they starve.

How do I get their feet warmer??

FWIW, I just used an ear thermometer and checked the belly temps of my ducklings that are outside in the shade eating and drinking. Their belly temps are all around 104. The ones inside are 102-103, but the iffy one is just 100, so back in the Janoel he goes, he's way too cold.

I do but I wouldn't know what to do? Do I just press it against them? They're feet aren't cold persay but they're cool not as warm as my last ducks got
