Yes! He was so fluffy!! And I hope so! He’s been very good so far! I need to spend more time with them though and befriend them lol

I have no clue because he looks fine, like no injuries or anything. I went to let them free range today and found him laying there in the coop my dad didn’t hear him crow this morning either.

I’m thinking maybe it was the heat? Because it was crazy hot yesterday and the day before, like 97 with 105 heat indexes/feels like and he was a big fluffy oaf but idk for sure. Either that or the Mareks finally caught up with him but the other birds both showed symptoms and he was 100% normal until yesterday. maybe he ran around too much

We are all so sad because we all loved him so much, even my parents.

I'm so sorry!

I'm so sorry!

Thank you

I guess I will never know for sure

I kind of wanted to necropsy him and find out or check for anything internally but I just can’t

I really think it was the two days of extreme heat though.
