4/13/2015 A pest control operator placed blocks of the product in protective bait stations near a chicken coop. Within 2-4 weeks of bait placement, the chicken owner reported that 3 chickens had died from unknown causes although she suspects the chickens were poisoned by eating the bait as she saw blue-gray material in the chickens feces. One chicken passed away suddenly and the other two developed swelling and stopped eating prior to death. A fourth chicken became ill as evidenced by bloating, difficulty walking which progressed to being unable to walk, and the development of a blue coloration to her face and comb. A fifth chicken developed blue and yellow diarrhea. Finally, the caller remarked that there is a considerable amount of blue and yellow feces in the chicken coop. Additionally, the chicken owner reported that she and her son eat the eggs from these hens and have both experienced diarrhea and stomach aches over the past 3 months and are concerned that they may have secondary poisoning. The caller saw her physician and had either a PT or INR test performed but did not have the results at the time of the call. She noted that it was too expensive to have a veterinarian examine or treat her hens and was unlikely to seek veterinary care.
