Has anyone heard of toxocity from hard wire cloth?

[BennieAnTheJets]

We have some mysterious, serious weight loss cases and we have hard wire cloth that some of our guys pull on with their beaks

I wonder if the chemicals on the wire give off something after 4 years in the outdoors that may poison the birds

anyone know?

Please reply if you have an idea

Thanks!

No idea about the toxicity on the wire mesh, but when my chickens or turkeys loose weight is due to lice or internal parasites. Them bugs weaken the chickens a lot.
