Thanks so much Chooks. I'm so torn as to which direction to take. Breed for immunity or vaccinate everything. I really was so clueless getting into chickens. Maybe like many... If it was something I did wrong...like dirty or cramped housing, or bad feed, or neglect...but it's not...

Thanks. I went through 10 NASTY shoeboxes with old rag clothes, before I used the little plastic tubs and paper towels, just dampened so they wouldn't slip. Hey and thanks to this thread, I realized I should do like I do for everyone in the snow and rain....give em an umbrella :) I have a...

Quote: That's funny!!! I do the same stuff, I think we all do..."use the tools available". Good to know that my contraptions aren't so weird as I think. Thank you again for the kind thoughts. I by no means want to hijack this as my own personal journal, so I will move further...

oh and just for fun.... Went to close the coop and a chicken was missing! Everyone was calm and quiet though, no sign of trouble..... Hold on! She was in the nest box, a sitting on the eggs I didn't gather today because I was tooo busy! That is pretty darn cool, I guess I'll slip...

Thanks chooks4life! What a lovely compliment. I am glad that my writing is entertaining. I like to make people laugh, but it's a dry sense of humor, and not everyone gets me. I get blank stare sometimes, I gave up trying to explain it and just walk away... So, It's MIller Time... 2nd...

Cool, I will see if I can get a Vet to help me with this!!!! At this stage they have been ill for weeks and weeks.... Is it too late to try antivirals?

Hey all, I have benn athinking and athinking and research, OMG. Lilly and Poppy. Poppy was so strong when he came in, standing and crowing. Then went sideways. Lilly got stronger, then went down. She had a leap, from one day standing (Wow) and falling forward, to able to stand and take...

I could not imagine that I could request that the Vet prescribe a human antiviral? I can just imagine how that would go. Him looking at me like I am a crazy person...
