Ok I have three chickens IN THE PEN with chickens wh have had coryza. I'm vaccinating all my chicks today, these three are adults. Should I vaccinate them?

I've dumped it three times. Each time, I throw away something else.

Why wouldn't you have just pitched it all the first time?

Why would you throw away something that you might have a use for in 15-20 years?

@campingshaws , last year i had two chicks and I think they had a vitamin e deficiency. Gave Vitamin e for two days and they got better. http://www.merckvetmanual.com/mvm/p..._poultry/vitamin_deficiencies_in_poultry.html http://www.thepoultrysite.com/publications/6/diseases-of-poultry/218/vitamin-e-deficiency/ Can you post a video? -Kathy

Pics of face:

Other than the swelling, any signs of respiratory illness? FWIW, my chicks looked a lot like your chick, except they didn't have any facial swelling. What has this chick been eating? Any chance it got into rancid feed? -Kathy -Kathy

Nothing respiratory. I've been giving it drops of poly vi sol and water with the vitamin/electrolyte solution for a week now. Is that just not enough e? It's been in the brooder with it's hatch mates until I isolated it. They're all fine.

Are they misrepresenting it or giving it their own nane for a cross like golden comment/golden comet/...

Majority of the time if you see someone trying to sell you "Americana" birds, they're really selling you EEs and think you're too dumb to notice they spelled the breed name wrong. Either that or they legitimately have Ameraucanas and they just can't spell. But yeah, a lot of people get ripped off by thinking they got a pure Araucana or Ameraucana and in reality they came home with an EE.

Quote:Yeah, those are EE's passed as AM's, the spelling bugs me to NO END though. Wish they wouldn't misinform buyers.

Heartland Hatchery spells it that way too, but mcmurrayhatcheries says Aruacana/Ameruacana.

I don't think Poly Vi Sol has enough E.

From my understanding, the American Poultry Association only recognizes the spellings Ameraucana and Araucana. Now it doesn't really matter if you're just wanting blue eggs, but for people who want showbirds and purebred birds it's something you should pay attention to.

Under/between the seats of the car?

The car has not left the garage in a year and a half.

A, I never know when I'm going to need it.
B, I am a woman, and it's my prerogative.
C, It wasn't ticking me off the first couple times!
