The chickens always seem to die on the weekend. And not sure what benefit it would have. Only one place in our state does that. And right now i am focused on my possible cancer and taking care of the animals i have, and getting ready for spring.Damn the post office. When it comes to live animals there must be some kind of procedure they must follow. I know it wont replace the birds but I would try to cause them a real headache over this. I find that in UK it is normally better to use private courier for any parcels. It is normally cheaper and you get what you paid for. They are a lot more reliable as they actually want your custom and want you to come back. Our postal service is just as unreliable and have random delivery times.
I'm sorry that you may have Marek's in your flock. Have you had a necropsy done. I understand there's not much you can do for it. Just TLC and stress free living. Wouldn't that be nice for us all!
