If he was aware they were ill it may be he couldn't afford medicine or just didn't know what to do. Good for you

Glad you did a good deed and helped him out. Us chicken people have GOT to stick together. No one else understands us!

Be sure to spray Lysol or something on your shoes when going over to his place. You don't want to bring anything back to your flock. Last edited: Nov 7, 2009
