I love her avatar!!!!! 


This is so calm and peaceful looking!!!

Your to do lists sound like mine... Except you are getting more done than me.

Thanks!  But I need to wait and think about some things, regarding keeping and culling. I may take you up in a year or two if I decide I need to start over with CLs....

Every time I see a photo of a Serama, I keep thinking of Robert DeNiro saying "You lookin' and me? You lookin' at ME?!" 

Gorilla Tape!!!!! (Though Joey is right I think - wire to the top is best, raccoons would pull tape off...)

Thanks so much. 



LOL! I think everyone secretly loves my avatar! As for gorilla tape, the stuff is garbage. I can't remember what I originally bought it for, but I know that it doesn't stick to much of anything.

Time to think out of the box. I wish I was there to help you but 6 hours is too far of a drive.

I know someone that drove eight hours just to help me with my garden!

You must be special. No one is helping with my garden. My apprentices all bailed out on me. I'm charging for the privilege next year. Then they'll stick.

Knowledge is power - I needed to know. This changes the way I need to manage my chickens, and lets me know what to expect. It also tells me it wasn't something like worms or cocci or some such and that there is not treatment I would need to administer to the rest. And that I should have trusted my instinct and culled them all at 2 weeks, since I suspected this when Paula died.

I wasn't kidding when I said earlier that I may contact you for Penedesenca hatching eggs. It just may take me a little while to get everything sorted out...

Quote: Thanks! Unfortunately I've been thinking non stop about it all day instead of getting other stuff done. I need to read more, but my understanding is that congenitally infected chicks will shed virus and get tumors (that's five of the seven CL, one already gone), and that those they are raised with from day one (really little) get infected so early that they act just like the congenitally infected ones (so, that's the other two). The question I need to answer is what about the two Aloha NN girls. They were put with the CLs at 4 weeks old. I think I will ask the Texas A&M vet that question - I may get those two tested. I planned to put them with Tank (my beloved NN rooster), but if they are positive I don't want to do that. Other than that, the only risk of the infection getting out of the CL coop/group is when Puppy got into the CL coop - and whether Dumbledore mated with her (it's passed that way) - although I understand risks are less when they are older when exposed.

Like I said, I have reading to do... (sigh)

I make paracord bracelets in my idle time, and donate them to "For the Troops".  I buy the paracord in bulk, cut it in to various lengths, put on the buckles and make the first couple of ties. I   have bags of those started bracelets that I can just pick one up and start weaving.  I try to make at least 100 every 3 months, which is about how often I go to the box stuffing events.  If I can't get to one of their events, I mail them in.  

What I find the most difficult in any type of art, is making stick people look like stick people....

I'm glad you got answers so fast, but sorry it turned out the way it did.  Sounds like you had a game plan for Mareks, but not the same plan for this diagnosis.  Is there a way to test the chicks, or do you just wait for symptoms?




For my chicks, I have an Ayem Cemani that hatched about 3 hours ago and it still has not stood up.  It's just laying there crying.  I have about 8 pips and 3 zipping, I don't want to open the 'bator.  What's the longest anyone has seen a chick lay there and not succeed in getting up.  It doesn't have a ton of room, but it should have enough room to get up.  

Thanks!!

Does anyone read anything or Remember stuff?

If your a beloved your results can very from a non beloved ugh.
