Help! sick rooster

I would call and ask if you can wait until Monday to do the necropsy. Most times they want the body as soon as possible. You can try to do a home necropsy and take pictures of the organs for anything suspicious. The following link has pictures of Mareks findings in necropsies, and click on both “clinical signs” and “gross lesions:”

We did it today. I will upload pictures tomorrow. We didn't really find anything. His intestines seemed blocked but we couldn't find any tumors in them. Next time one dies we'll definitely send it in.

Here are some pictures of organs affected by Mareks. The first is the liver and the second is part of intestines:

His liver looked very healthy, and his intestines didn't look like that. If another ones dies were going to bring it in. Just so we know for sure and until we know for sure Im not going to bring in new chickens or get rid of any. Just to be safe.
