Very interesting!
I wonder if your mareks weakens them and then a fungal infection kills them.

Copper is used to treat fungal infections

Well, that is what we are wondering also. I got on line and found an article about copper's affect on chickens and seems as though it is beneficial and completely excreted in their feces so there is not toxic build up. I then looked at the ingredients of MFA's hog feed and sure enough, it has a small amount of copper in it plus it is lower in protein. I worry that the high protein is going to go hard on their kidneys and livers not to mention make them too fat so I mix it 50-50. Watching them, they LOVE the pelleted hog food and I haven't had a sick bird in the three months since I started mixing the feed.

I know I've lost birds to systemic fungal infections so heck, why not give it a try.

Put it on your google calendar to alert you. That's the only way I remember to do things.

Got all my animal's shots, frontline, when to check/call for oil, etc.

Otherwise, oh look, a chicken.

Or a dust mote. Those are cool too!

They are provocative dancers those dust motes!

This is chickadoodles. I was on this morning and posted to wish Ron happy birthday.
Well, I tried to upload a pic for his b-day and it loaded a Christmas card. I could not see it
very well on my phone... So I deleted the post and re-posted it.
After that I tried to get back on BYC only to be told my email's were bouncing back.
And I had to update my email addy. I tried to no avail. I still cannot use my account.
So I had to create a new one to try to get some help in fixing my account.
I messaged a Mod to request help per Ron's suggestion. Still waiting on an answer.

For some reason after I lost the ability to click like on post's it tried to let me have some
controls for some reason.

Chicka! What a freaking mess! I sure hope they get it straightened out for you. When technology works, it's wonderful but when it doesn't it's a royal pain in the tush!
