Bag of feed near sick chickens...

[TxChris]

I wonder if baking it would work? It would be tedious but its better than throwing out a bag.

Maybe I'll read a little more before tossing it- but I would only be doing it to bring to a wooded area for the wild.
I just feel awful wasting it.

Honestly, I would report the farm you got these birds from, they’re selling sick animals! I don’t know who to report it to though, they could be spreading the fatal form of bird flu

Have there been cars in the garage. Are there oil spills. Has there been cans of gasoline? I have had chicks in the garage, but my garage has never had a car in it. I call it the basement.

Sorry for the confusion. They were sick when I brought them home.

They were kept in my garage because they were sick, which I didn't know beforehand.

But no, there were no chemicals or contaminants in the garage.

I agree, no sense in holding onto it. I feel bad chunking food like that, but I wouldn't want to put it out for wild animals, either- just in case.

The farm let me bring them back. She said she would "treat them", which was her way to justify keeping my money. I'm sure she culled them.

I wish I knew what it was for my mental sake!

I would feel bad throwing away feed like that too! Will the farm take the bag of feed? I understand if you don't want to deal with that farm again though.

Texas does have an option to report, and I've beaten myself up on what I should do.

Call the dept of agriculture. If they don't handle it, they will know who does.

They don't have avian flu. Chickens drop dead from that. But, they are sick and she could be contaminating flocks all over Texas.
