This is heart wrenching. I feel your pain. If I lose one bird to a raccoon, I am distraught. An entire flock would be devastating.
Thank you for doing the responsible thing and reporting the deaths and testing. You are helping save the rest of us from this virus. I am glad they let you have the option of keeping your recovering birds in quarantine.
My little chickens used to get field trips, but now are kept in their covered runs. Hoping this virus runs its course without mutating to us.
This thread is just a little over a year old...oh dear. I'm so sorry to hear of these losses and the millions of birds, many of them not positive, being culled. This is heartbreaking indeed. This is getting out of control.
