Thank you, this is really helpful and apologies, I didn’t not realize you were in MA
Thank youI'm so sorry @KDOGG331.
@KDOGG331 if it's Marek's he is shedding the virus in his dander and your other birds can get sick from him. You can cull or try to rehab, I've read about people keeping them in slings and all sorts of things, but as long as he is alive he's shedding it if that's what it is. If you cull be sure you scrub down all coops with soap and water, then sanitize them, I used Virkon S. You'll have to get rid of the litter and everything.
It will cost more. Just getting a float test at my local vet cost $125. So, something to put into the equation.
I agree with mom on letting dad do this. I couldn't do it.My mother is still adamant I can’t do it myself and that it will be horribly traumatic and “men do that stuff”
But oh well. My dad is going to do it.
I still think it’s stupid she doesn’t want me to and want to do it anyways but it’s not worth starting a fight over it so I’ll just let my dad do it. It’s still getting done immediately.
She does think we should have done it last night though and I agree and feel awful I didn’t do it sooner
Kiki has been saying to do it and do it now, because she has experience. Some day you will also have that level of experience and can help someone else along. Remember what I told you about Ethel? I let her suffer for a week! You have only hesitated for a day. 
If you want to kill him go do it and get it over with.My mother is still adamant I can’t do it myself and that it will be horribly traumatic and “men do that stuff”

Thank you!!! I’ll be sure to do that. They are actually moving to a new coop hopefully soon (it’s almost done) but I’ll scrub everything down in the meantime. He’s currently in a separate coop but was living with them up until a couple weeks ago so I’m sure they already have it. I actually think they probably gave it to him because they are vaccinated.
But I’ll be sure to scrub everything down anyway.
I'm sorry you feel awful kiddo, no one wants to put down a sick pet. Learn from it and change what you didn't like about your response the next time if anyone else gets sick. You're doing your best in a new situation.My mother is still adamant I can’t do it myself and that it will be horribly traumatic and “men do that stuff”

I just can't say enough that you need to give yourself some space here. You're beating yourself up unnecessarily. You have done the best you could do with the information you had.
I think no matter what you do, when you do it, or how it all turns out, you will feel bad. Death does that. It's part of the human experience to grieve. We learn from these experiences. Nothing is wasted.
