I have a gorgeous Buff Sussex breeding pair. The Roo is such a smart and sweet bird! Easily handled, knows his name-even my 4 year old daughter walks right up and picks him up! They are the same age...about 5 months old. She is a beautiful bird as well and also very docile. He is not aggressive...
Keep giving them the Duramycin if doesn't seem to be helping you could try Tylan-50. Sounds like CRD or Chronic Respiratory Disease. Unfortunately, it is very common and very contagious. You will be able to clear the symptoms but the birds will be carriers their entire life. Do some research on...

I am looking for some Lavender Ameraucana eggs. I bought some recently and only got 2 to hatch and they are both black. I have my heart set on some Lav's before shutting down for the season. Thanks so much for any help anyone can give me. Reply here or PM.
I have 3 Buff Sussex chickies that would love to come home with YOU! They are curious and sweeter than a cupcake! I live in Fair Oaks, CA. I cannot ship these babies so local pick-up only. Please PM or text me at (916) 715-6691 if interested. Thanks so much!
