No, I haven’t—didn’t even realize there were state threads. Thanks for the tip! I’ll look for it and post there.

You can find a link to the U.S. state threads at the bottom of @Pork Pie's post.

Hello Mel and welcome to BYC, You found an Amazing Poultry Community to be a part of with many great knowledgeable members, who are more then willing to jump in and help you along your journey with any questions you may have.

So sorry for your loss. You may want to find out why your little Roo died first before moving forward with your young flock in case you have a serious disease going on and could possible lose them all?

Best of luck and please keep us posted.

I know—I was totally wondering about that. They’ve all been vaccinated for Mareks and eating medicated chick feed. We use dedicated boots to go in the walk-in coop, and they are completely protected from other birds, squirrels, etc. He did have one broken feather the day before which had a little blood on it, but otherwise looked perfect (and there was no other blood detectable in the entire coop). I could tell he was feeling lethargic that day. Maybe poor genetics?
