Thank you everyone again for following this thread and for all your continued support
I know it's been awhile since I've spoken of Jinka...It's been hard on me...
We did find out what Jinka died of a virus that attacks the digestive tract...
The fortunate thing is we keep a tight ship here and the virus is susceptible to cleaning methods (steam cleaning, power washing, chlorox and uv-c air cleaners/germ sanitizers). So even though Jinka may have had this illness we isolated it to him. And, no other bird received transmission from Jinka since he was in isolation; all 13 of our current flock are full of vigor!
Thought you guys might like a quick update...
Thank you again for being there for my flock and I as we trecked through some of our darkest hours. Thanks to all the members of avian avenue!
