Just the preliminary report.  Haven't gotten the final report yet.  Problem is, that one was sent to a vet.  These birds I'm sending by myself.

I am sorry you have lost more birds. Mine all have been doing pretty good :fl. Except for the one dual/meat bird that will stagger backwards sometimes, and that lays kind of funny on its side sometimes. I am not sure what is wrong with it. Maybe I should just butcher it early. 3/1 chicks

Hi all, sorry Granny Hatchet, I know nothing about ducks. I've come across some of my chickens dust bathing looking like they were dead and spastic, but then they start wiggling and pop back up. I don't ever see any lasting effects.

But a sad, frustrating, maybe funny story...

Friday one of Gotro17's 4 month old hens died. I offered to store it until Monday, and ship it to UC Davis for her. It went into my fridge. Sunday morning when we woke up, my 11 month old silkie roo was dead. He was doubled bagged and put in the fridge with the other chicken. I tried to ship the chickens on Sunday for a Monday delivery, and found out my local Fed ex store doesn't ship dead animals. Only the store about 15 miles away, but they weren't open on Sunday.

So, I decided to make the 99 mile drive out to UC Davis in San Bernardino, where I had been told there would be a fridge on the side of the building I could leave the birds in. I made the drive. There was no fridge. I left the styro ice chest that was taped shut, with 2 dead chickens, 5 frozen cold packs, lots of newspaper and the submission forms on their front steps.

Turns out that the person that told me there was a fridge there had done the EXACT same thing I ended up doing. The following day, UC Davis had called her and chewed her out for leaving the package on the front steps, told her that there was a fridge she should have used right around the corner, clearly marked.

Well I walked along the front, around the corner to their fenced in, locked corner. Then back around to the other side, to their fenced in area, and there was no fridge. I did call their general mail box and admit to leaving the package on the front steps.

It looked like a bomb....my father told me to watch the news today to see if they called in the bomb squad to check the suspicious package left on the front steps of UC Davis....

They haven't called to yell at me yet....and I haven't seen anything on the news...

At Mizzou, they have someone on call 24/7. You call and the person on call returns the call within minutes. They meet you at the lab regardless of time of day or whether it is a holiday.
