KATHY!!!!

Hi Sally!!!! As I see in these posts, you have some stuff to deal with soon! I hope it goes smoothly and you have a QUICK recovery! The Babies are ADORABLE!!!

Hey stranger!!!!!

Pens has been updating us on the situation, and insists he is safe - he didn't have to evacuate (we worry, of course...)

OK, I'm off to lay down again - gotta get the lingering ickies from this migraine gone. I need to be up and at 'em tomorrow and sharp at work tomorrow. Monkey doesn't get his foot soak tonight - I need a break from the tonight (and he's getting a lot better, will probably head outside soon).

Hi Fire Ant! I'm so sorry you are dealing with a migraine - they are NO FUN It's been years since I've had a bad one.. I hope you have the good meds they have these days to help treat them!



Does anyone know if certain breeds of chickens are more susceptible to coccidiosis? I have 12 silkies born Thanksgiving, 11 Isbars born 1/1 and 5 of my AC babies born in January - all in an outdoor pen. I found 1 Isbar dead yesterday morning. No signs of anyone else sick or any blood in the poo. This morning, 4 were sick, 2 worse then the other 2. All Isbars. I gave everyone Corrid in the water. The 2 worst, I took inside and forced them to drink water. Had some Corrid in the food, and one started eating. That was the worst one, and it had bloody stools. The second never got better and died. The 2 I left outside, are all back to normal. The one inside seems to be better, it's up walking around.

All my babies I give medicated food to for the first month. This week they started getting non medicated food. NONE of the other birds are sick. A friend got the same Isbar eggs from the same person and she lost 2 or 3 birds to this. None of her other birds got sick. And her birds were about the same age as the ones I just lost. She hatched hers a month before I hatched mine.

I have never lost birds to coccidiosis. And I don't think the one still inside would have survived without the Corrid.

So, is it possible that one breed is more susceptible, or is it possible that is spreads in the eggs and the chicks are born with it? And when I moved them off medicated feed they got sick?

Dunno, Kathy... I have found the bantams get sick with it faster.

Lucky is losing weight and I'm finding reddish poo, so I'm running them thru a course of corid. Can't hurt.

Hi All, 

Just stopping in to say hi.  I was 900 pages behind, there is no chance I can catch up.  I just wanted to check with all the Northern California folks on here - nobody is near the Oroville dam, are they?  I hope the spillway holds and none of the flooding happens.  

I hope everyone is doing well.  I'll try to stop by again and maybe even try to keep up!!  

Take care!

So glad you stopped in, I am just sorry I missed you. Take care and don't be a stranger.

Quote: Thanks! It's not all that bad, all things considered - I've always had them and am used to it. As I've gotten older, there's less pain, it's just irritating when I can't get stuff done. I never have enough time for all the stuff to do (home and work). Not all that different from the frustration of weight restriction thing, I bet, except the migraines clear up.

Glad the foot is better! and thank you Surgery is Thursday and doc said when I asked how soon after surgery can I go home.... I ment that day and he laughed and said you have to stay at least 24 hours in the hospital and that is AT LEAST and he laughed at me, why was this so funny?

No, not funny, but maybe he just had a patient before you who was the opposite and he found the contrast amusing. Some people like you want to get back to business and off meds as soon as they can, others want to be in bed on meds and/or in hospital as long as they can.

bator was packed had to get the dryer ones out to make room for the others

Wow! So tiny!!!

Ooh, question. The day 16 air cells are only about 1mm bigger than the day 14 ones. My humidity is running ~40. Should I dry run for the last couple days? Or leave alone?
