All on one farm.

Yah, another bigger chicken facility. It's either out on A or in Palmyra. I will know more later.
my mother works for the Co. In charge of the process. They are killing the chickens with the foam, then lining them up in rows on the ground, on site, mulch and wood chips go on top, then when the carcasses reach 100℉ they are to be scooped up and landfilled. The cost so far for three days to the Good ol USDA is $93,000.

Sorry for the losses. I lost my buff orp yesterday to a Fox I believe.

Aww Irish

do you know any hunters? Someone thT may have a trail cam you can borrow? So sorry. During the day? Huh?the hawks here are not big enoigh to carry away our adults. They sit in the yard the few times that has happened.
Is it super early in the morning? That and night is the only time I have had the coyote come.
Isnit possibleit is a neighbors dog?
I will definitely get you more chicks. Just give a heads up.
So sorry!

Thanks, Cuties. I've been keeping them in the coop as long as possible in the AM. Sometimes I don't let them out until noon. Yesterday it was around 11 AM and I didn't get back until closing time. Whatever it was got one of them inside the coop. We do have a couple of neighbors with big-ish dogs though I haven't seen them loose.

Interesting...I heard this morning over 400,000 chickens so far, but I never heard anything about a family. Will have to do some digging.

WHO and the CDC don't have anything very current out there.

I guess everything is a little messy right now. On the radio this morning I heard 400,000 but like I see was stated above another article claimed 800,000. Thank you for posting those links, I was looking at a few others, but most of the stuff I've come across in the last few minutes here are not updated.

Birdman, are you saying the owners of flock in Juneau Cry contracted the chicken flu?

 

[BayBay Peepers]

If that's the case, could you post the link? I haven't been able to find anything on that subject.
