If you are close enough to your lab you can drop him off there and they will euthanize him for you. My lab actually prefers this method.
I’m not exactly sure where the lab is located. It doesn’t say on the website I don’t think. I’ll check. But I think they are closed today anyway
 
Did the original and the new 5 come form the same place?
I am obviously trying to determine the likelihood that the person who supplied both, or one batch has Mareks in their flock.
Yes they all came from Meyer Hatchery as baby chicks. The eggs also came from Meyer. But we also have tons of wild birds and turkeys here as we live in a pretty wooded area so they could have picked it up at any time over the last 5 years.

These current chicks didn’t move outside until 8 weeks old but I’m sure there was cross contamination.

The original ones were inside for 3 weeks and then outside during the day and inside at night for another 4. Last years batch was outside at a week old in the main coop.

I did also give some cockerels to someone a few weeks ago but we met elsewhere where no chickens have been and hand sanitized our hands. I also gave them the container they were in so brought nothing back.
