I don’t post here very often, but dropped by to see all the storm updates. I am near Temple and we were below freezing from early Saturday until this afternoon, most of it in the 20s. You can see more details and some pics in a post I made at the link below.

Let's say welcome to @SteveTerri from the San Antonio area

Please let us know when you find out. Where did you get them from?

I know the feed/nutrition is a symptom of whatevers going on 100%... they stopped eating days and days earlier and wouldn't move. Just stood in one spot head down and wings drooping.

Are you getting the additional testing?

@sniper338 I'm interested in this answer as well - [particularly for coccidia/MG and fecal float for worms (another $60 in total - I'd understand if its not worth it to you)]. The birds condition overall, particularly the weights and keel condition suggest this isn't a recent event like a bad feed bag.

Sadly, that invites a chicken/egg question. Did they have increased parasite load and possible respiratory infection due to being stressed, or did infection and parasites together cause the stress? MG and Coccidia are both opportunistic, though the MG requires exposure to a carrier. Coccidia are everywhere.

We might never know, but I'll go back through your recent posts in this thread, see if I can tease out other clues.

@sniper338 I hope you get some more definitive answers soon. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry to cut in on a serious topic but wanted to let my fellow Texans who live within driving distance of Ideal know about this:

Unfortunately they sent out the email about 20 min ago and it's only for 1 day.
