did he try those nose stickers?

It is not the nose that closes when sleeping, it is an "elongated soft palette" a flap of skin attached to the back of everyone's hard palette (roof of the mouth)
It is bascically skin.
And vibrates to rival any chain saw or snorting hog.
Of course, this is not CR's opinion of why men snore when lying on their backs!

Good grief!!!!!!!!
Looks like those would have dented the heck out of your car, broken windows, smashed crops..........you are going to be so happy to come out west, even though we have had a nasty cool & wet spring, we have not had hail like that.
I saw on the weather channel alot of T-storms & tonrnado warnings marching from NW Texas all the way to Chicago..right over Kansas!!
SCAREY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok that is just sick, can you call the police and tell them what went on, I dont know if it would help or not. That is just not right, do they do that to all the people?

They (the broody hens) will want to raise their chicks, hopefully, and that will be months before they slowly leave their mother.
Then the broody hen may or may not go broody again this year.

Here is my link-

Necropsy was I think..$15 and I did freeze the bird to ship it.
Since this lab is in Puyallup, call ahead & drive there, bird on ice, bagged, in an ice chest, unfrozen, and knock on the door and they will take it right from you there.
Nuerol problems and enlarged spleen, and the leg symptoms do sound like Marek's...

Here is the paperwork link..have this filled out & drop it off with the bird bagged as I said above, and knock on the door & then walk away, they will not let you in and will not come outside while you are there to prevent cross contamination.

This is an excellent link everyone should book mark in your favorite's links...it has a good description of almost all poultry diseases and a charts at the bottom of the page compare one disease to another.
