What a bad month for my birds

I am so disappointed having lost all but one of my 15 birds. A strange disease which a vet claims to be New Castle killed them i just three days. The surviving one is also sickly and might not make it to tomorrow. At times farming can be challenging. Already most of my passion fruit plants have dried up due to insufficient rainfall. Now all birds down. This is so heartbreaking! Better I didn't hit the mylot payment threshold. The two I had planned to add would have perished as well!

Well, it is fine, thank you. The birds were all chicken but I have bought two ducks. A friends told me they rarely get attacked by disease, especially New Castle.

Clean everything extremely well before you add more there. Even wash down the area with bleach.

I will do exactly that. It was a very discouraging experience but I hope to be more careful now

@SIDIKIMPOLE It happens. You can't prevent everything.
