did u buy from these people??? I won't buy adult birds, I've had bad enough scares from just being paranoid...I would go crazy with birds from someone else!!!

The first thing I would do is, if they are selling on here, post on ANY thread where they are selling. I would say something to the effect of "Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't you just lose about half your flock to xxxx disease and are you not, in fact, selling birds from this flock?" People deserve to be protected. I would be just devastated if my precious birds died because someone else was too greedy to care what they were selling.

I would totally blow the whistle on it. If I were a buyer about to endanger my flock, I would appreciate it, KWIM?

So, someone has a current case of marek's running through their flock and is selling birds that have been exposed?

What would you do if you knew a breeder was knowingly selling birds that were exposed to a highly communicable fatal disease that they can be lifetime carriers of? I know this has been mentioned in other threads before.

I bet if you could test everyones flock, you would find the vast amount of them would have some carriers to some form of disease. Unless you cage and house your birds indoors, they will be exposed to all the wild birds droppings and disease. It is the carriers that help stregnthen breeds. The weak die off and those who live make the breed stronger.​
