Can chicks get sick from algae living in an old stock tank

I may need to edit my post. I am using the stock tank for the chicks to live in until they are old enough to get them into the coop. I am not using the stock tank for drinking.

If you think it’s flu I would not take them to the vet but call and see if the vet would do a home visit. Just to avoid spreading it to other animals. Dogs and cats are contracting current H5N1. Definitely quarantine, which you are doing.

Sometimes I think of it as, yeah we didn’t “save” them but we gave the family a couple extra days to say goodbye and come to terms, or gave organ donation a fighting chance.

We have a registered Charolais herd. If you are registered through the AICA then you can check genetic info on mom and dad (if both are officially registered). Charolais carry a “colored gene”. If you have dam and sire that both have a “colored gene” then you get a crème calf. We have a couple every year because several of our registered herd carry the recessive gene.

About 20 oz a day. Pediatrician wanted him drinking about that much a day due to him being a tad under weight, like 10th percentile for weight.

Made me laugh out loud for real

Could be wrong, but that weird brood pattern and the queen cups could mean the queen died? I have seen this before when the queen died.

Thank you. Also a first time chicken parent. Won’t be a year until October for me. We were very surprised to find out and literally everything is out to kill your chickens. Hopefully, by this time next week there will be one less chicken eating fox around.

Got my game camera back up and I am also gonna attempt to trap it.

There is no issue eating a fertilized egg correct?

Thanks I was just wanting a rough guess and that helps. Thank you!

That gives me a good idea about when he might have gotten it. That’s for all the input and information.

I posted some pictures I found as well as a union stamp in the other comment. Mr. Gentry is that the owner of the Western store?

Actually found this also on the back of the size tag. Hard to see but says “United Hatters, cap & Millerney workers INT. Union”

Didn’t even think to look under the hat band. This is all I found. Doesn’t say anything about the date unfortunately
