Nevadans? - Page 1368

all of my birds were too old. Figures. The showgirls were the only ones who may have been young enough but since they were almost mature I decided that i wouldnt start vaccinating until my next bout of chicks. Sucks but what can ya do. At this point Mark and I are trying to decide on whether or not to have a closed flock, or to cull lil frizz and porkchop. Frizz has still got a runny nose, and it stinks to high heaven which is not a good sign. When i q-tip her nostrils the q-tip smells just awful. I am so glad she is the only bird showing signs of illness. If no one else is sick tomorrow I will know that the right descision will be to cull. 

Ugh and on top of that i had to make a vet appointment for Elvis today. He is pooping blood and bleeding rectally. Last night he came into our room and slept by our bed which is very unusual. Im so over all of this! 

thanks. worms is a huge possibility too i suppose with him eating bird crap all the time. 

well we pried apart the deck and got nanners. she was sitting on over 20 eggs, that little witch. I put her in a kennel with five eggs that i collected from today but with my luck she wont sit on em or they wont even be fertile.

aaaand i just stuck my hand in cat vomit. UGH I HATE TODAY!

soooo cool elizabeth! i wanna go to chicago really bad. I think mark and i are going to visit detroit soon and take a train to chicago.

Boy is it HOT! poor birds. I went out there today and everyone was panting and hiding under the deck. I turned on the spigot for about a half hour and it created a pond under the deck so now the girls are all happily rolling around in it and cooling off. Got em some frozen blueberries too. they liked em enough but couldnt eat them until they thawed a little bit. I do have some watermelon that i cut into 8 chucks and put in the freezer. Once its completely frozen theyre gonna go nuts over it, i just know it. Also got them some frozen pineapple and strawberry puree. lucky birds.

Lil Frizz is lookin better today. Unfortunately Porkchop has got the runny nose too now, so she has got something contageous. Also noticed birthday present sneezing this morning and immediately pulled her from the others. Shes got the stench. Glad i cought it all early though, the three of them will get shots tonight and the others will get sulmet in their waterers this week. I figure since i wont be able to eat their eggs right now anyways i will most likely de-worm them while im at it. Feeling a lot better about the whole thing. I figure that if lil frizz can handle whatever this is as easily as she has, being my smallest bird I am not very worried about the others. Ive totally got this.

Even Elvis seems a lot happier today. Poor lil duder. Were going to the vet tomorrow. please dont tell him. 

Mark and I also have an appointment to look at a wedding venue tonight. Kind of wishful thinking since its going to be a while until we can even afford to put a deposit on anything, but oh well...maybe I can con my mom into helping LOL.

I am in Reno! Add me to the list

PM me if you can help
