Stats Project... need your help!

[MoodyChicken]

Hello everyone, long time no talk! I hope you are all doing well!

I have a favor to ask of you all, and if you could help I would greatly appreciate it! In my statistics class, our current project is to obtain data of any situation and analyze the data... a few different ways. ANY topic is fair game, and I thought a chicken related topic would be fun and useful! If you could answer the following questions, I would REALLY appreciate it. If you would like, I can post all the data at the end so you can see it too. Thank you in advance for you participation!!!

What is your flock size/how many birds do you maintain?

What breeds do you raise?

Guesstimate, how many birds do you lose in a year to disease?

How many of these deaths do you think are related to Marek's Disease?

Not related to the project, but just for curiosity's sake... what symptoms do you see?

Thanks again everyone!

Due to Mareks :

Not sure....I treat them as birds just like the old days , no worming , no vets .

Symptoms :

Some gasp...some are just dead in the coop . I have never had an episode where most of my flock is sick . Just 1 for a few weeks , then nothing .

Hope this helps....sorry to those of you who differ in my opinion of treating illness in your flock .
