Dh brought home some Carmel pecan rolls. One of his drivers wives makes them for their bakery.
It's a Menonite bakery. Very tasty!

@Cynthia12, you guys made yourselves a beautiful family! Congratulations to Grand daughter #3!

I need to pick you all's brains. The 8+week old cockerel that I mentioned being sick earlier today died. Naturally my first guess is well, d***** Marek's disease but this one acted different. Symptoms, lethargic. I describe it as he lost his sparkle. Last night he didn't roost with his broodmates and today he kept to himself. Not fluffed up, not eating a lot although I did get a teaspoon of scrambled eggs down him earlier and saw him pecking at food and drinking later in the day. Most of the day he stayed in one of the outside nesting boxes. Two of the older hens were sensing something was off and were pestering him and I saw one of the roosters try to mount him earlier but he was able to get away from all of them.

The only thing I noticed out of the ordinary with him was that his crop was a bit 'weird' No food in it this morning or last night but it felt 'watery' as if there was fluid in it but nothing else.

I was out about 2 hours ago and saw him out running around with the other birds and acting pretty normal. Went out a half hour ago and found him very dead. I couldn't find anything other than the crop out of the ordinary with him. No paralysis, no drainage from eyes or nose. No sneezing or coughing. I lost another 7 week old the same way last year and while I would like to blame Marek's I can't help but wonder if this wasn't something else.

Any ideas?
