    Feeling Yuckie, not sure what's wrong

    This mornings update. Cranky at the front of the cage and for Buffy BooBoo this means she is feeling herself again. I did give her penicillin in her water this morning but I'm not sure she needs it. I could not find Corid at any stores near me so I will have to buy it online to have on...

    Feeling Yuckie, not sure what's wrong

I determined she had a fever but after 2 doses of the Tylon 50 she is feeling better, but she is still not eating very well. She is however drinking water like it's going out of style, which I'm sure is a symptom of...

    Anyone in Loudoun County or Clarke County know of any Vets who will see chickens? Our favorite Vet out here in Western Loudoun has moved to Pen State and we have no one who will see chickens...I don't need one right now, but I'm worried about the time when I do need one.
