    Hopefully the Corid helps, if not, something more sinister is going on. :( Keep us posted! :hugs

    :hugs I've found that if the Copper doesn't fix the crop issue, something else is going on to cause a yeasty crop. Mareks could definitely be weakening her system. If you don't see any changes by day 8 or 9, Id stop with the copper. Have you tried Corid? Coccidiosis can slow crops down and...

    Definitely lock everything up. Those are dangerous temps for any bird. ❄

    Oh how egg-citing, new coop, pens...you must be stoked! :yesss: This should help carry you though! :woot But yeah, I'd be constantly looking for symptomatic birds, a horrible way to look at the flock. I would probably drive myself nuts with worry, so I get it totally. :hugs Hopefully one day...

    I am so sorry for your loss of the pullet. :hugs But at least she didn't linger for days on end. They are so good at hiding their symptoms, :hmm hopefully she didn't suffer long. They say that after a rooster mates with a hen, it will take at least 3 days for the eggs to all be fertile. The...

    You will learn over time what you can get away with and what has no effect. Eventually you WILL be an expert with the Mareks and how to deal with it. 😊

    Yes I saw Debbie's experiment thread and see that you joined too! At least you aren't alone in this Mareks journey. :hugs Definitely, once you get new chicks vaccinated, you should start to feel better about all this.

    Thanks for the update! Great that you aren't catching the flu from hubby, sometimes we are able to dodge that bullet. I hope your hubby starts to feel better soon! I think I'd be on the edge of worry all the time too, wondering what this virus is doing and who's going to turn up sick next...

    This is a good start with the feed can! Keep his attention with his head up, not looking down at your feet. You want to keep the stare down going when he is in attack mode only, otherwise don't look long at him. I have had wonderful luck carrying a broom around. Keep the broom end in between you...

    It's a good thing horses don't really know they can kill you. 🤣 I took on a wild horse of approximately 4 years old many decades ago from one of these wild horse round ups. What a wonderful experience, this Stallion was a looney bin but oddly enough not all that difficult to tame. He was my...
