One of the capon candidates did not make it. I found him last night, it was the one that the 2nd testicle crumbled.
The other 4 seem to recovering well. One even tried to fly out of the 'infirmary'.
On a different note, I called TVMDL about the illness that has been killing my birds, and the vet there spent a good hour talking to me about the symptoms of the ones that have died. He said it's either Mercks (most likely) or possibly the bedding I added last week had molded and the birds suffered a fungal encephalytis (sp).
Either way, a 10% - 15% mortality rate could be expected.
Between this and the dogs breaking into the tractor and turning them into squeeky toys, there's gonna be none left TO eat. sigh...
