You would like a documented eggtopsy? You wanna come over?

no silly, i want a pic of the CAKE cut open. not a hen or an egg or anything else that was living at some point. barf! i filled the chicken cake with buttercream and peeps!!!! laree and i had a grand ole' time and tons of laughs. we seriously live too close and could do a lot of damage. i have a whole side yard still practically untouched. i can just imagine the possibilities....went by lowe's today and looked at the BIG RED BARN. told dh that's what i want for my birthday, hannukka and christmas this year and next.
 
Sorry I cant make it but I will be enjoying my Grandson he is 13 weeks old and getting to be more and more fun. Hopefully soon I can meet for coffee

There are a LOT of respiratory infections that affect chickens, and some are more severe than others. The symptoms for all are pretty similar, with the exception that coryza has a nasty smell. A course of Baytril (you need a vet's prescription) or Denagard (only available via mail order) are the two best antibiotics for chicken respiratory illnesses. Denagard is not approved for use on chickens in the US, but is used in most of the rest of the world.

Eek. Is this fatal? This is my pet house chicken, I would be devestated.

You could always look up a chicken vet in your area. Most reptile vets also see birds and chickens (as well as bunnies and rats). Dr. Richard Funk (Mesa), and Dr. Todd Driggers (Gilbert) are both great vets that see exotics.
Keeping her away from your others would be a good idea too, like everyone has said. You could use a 50 gallon rubbermaid and make a top for it out of wood and hardware cloth (we used long wood pieces meant to make trellis out of, we used them to reinforce our pepper plants, and now for the chick brooder). That is what we do for our brooder once the chicks are outside. We use a bungie cord so the top can't get knocked off by the labrador, or by neighborhood cats ... and to keep the chicks in when they are older.

Dr Daniel Burke at Cornerstone Animal Hospital in Gilbert also sees chickens; IMO, he is the BEST!

Oh, I love Dr. Burke too, but it's so hard to get in with him now. It seems like you make an appt with him and you end up with one of the other two doctors (unless you have a bird, then it's always Dr. Burke). And I really don't like the other two doctors in his practice!
