I didnt know they could get tobacco poisoning. there's a new one for me. I know she didnt get a butt. Is it possible for them after being held to preen themselves and get the tobacco off of your hands that was on their feathers?

I don't think that is plausible. :/

i am going to go with Mareks. 

Mareks is very contagious. I wouldn't think anything without proof.

Don't label yourself with having Marek's until you have it confirmed through necropsy. In the meantime, operate a closed flock with close biosecurity. No birds in, no birds out until you have your answer.

Listen to Leadwolf. She knows what she is talking about!

(Leadwolf - I am assuming you are a she - please correct me if I'm wrong :S )

 

[leadwolf1]

Yes, aoxa, I am a she

 

[aoxa]

Yes, aoxa, I am a she

Wow my last sentence didn't make much sense. lol

lol.... thank you gals. you are my wealth of knowledge until someday i can help someone too! you can never seem to get enough advise on these babies can we?

I am ashamed to say the my DH burned the corpses thinking he was helping me on this. I have the best little chicken graveyard for the few I have lost, but he knew I was concerned about them having disease and he thought he was doing the right thing. I am back to square one. Would it do me any good to try and vaccinate them? They are all adult except my one little girl, and she was housed with them for over 7 weeks. Not thinking it would do any good, but i gotta ask.

I can't help you with that decision. Maereks is not a worry here. If it was, I would definitely vaccinate. It's all up to you. If you think there is a chance, do it. Especially now that you can't get the bodies examined.

You can do it yourself. Leadwolf will give you more details. She is very experienced with Maereks.
