I wish - Loratidine doesn't do a thing for me, but generic allegra does help at least keep my sinuses from filling up completely and my throat closing up.

I DID find allergy eye drops that work really well!

me too...I can't tell ya at the second what its called, but I know what the package look like and it starts with an A...hahah I'm a ton of helpful info.... haha

Allegra makes me sleepy...don't know why

They did a skin test.... all the little pricks thing. Out of all the pricks there were only 3 things I was NOT allergic to. The dog got as big as a half dollar. The cat about the same...... The HORSE got to the size of a BAKED POTATO. They had to give me prescription cream to get the swelling down. Stayed for a WEEK and was very sore even with ice. I don't think they gave me shots for horse though.

I have actually thought about that.... you never know. There are 4 poisonous snakes native to TN copperheads would be the most common. Water moccasins would maybe be next. The 2 rattle snakes would be rare here, but they are here.

Been there, done that! ICK...had to get prednisone to get the swelling and inflammation down after the blisters popped....ICK

Sure surprised the technician!

I do wear a medi-bracelet, but only list my pacemaker and drug allergies.

Allegra does NOTHING for me. Loratidine helps but not much but with the Zyertek they work great!

Debbi....the little wheatie's a cutie and looks pullet to me, but then again, I don't raise them, so I'm just going on what I've seen on my uncles wheaten ameraucanas.

The showgirl....well...I'm glad someone loves them...I'm afraid I wouldn't enjoy going out to the pens nearly as much as I do now if they were full of those little aliens haha

I found some eye drops at walmart too, worked very well for me.

y'all were busy while I sold all my blue cuckoos with gold leakage, and 2 young pullets and what ever else I can find her in the brooder boxes. LOL

Now to start over.........

DON you out there??????? How do I test mate my Splash Cuckoo to see if he has GOLD hidden under all his good looks? The only solid colors I have are Black Ameraucanas.

Vicki you can answer that too....

anybody really

BTW She has some of these Blue Cuckoos too and I TOLD her they were leaking GOLD!

Cad.... did you see?????? I was told I have a splash wheaten AM roo!!!!! That means my breeder roo is BLUE!

Not convinced yet though.... I don't think I have a blue yet from the reg wheaten pullets. Should be 50/50 if he is. I will have to check them ALL when I move them. I figured out what you were talking about on the neck feathers. They are laced like a SLW and the color is in the middle on the roos and not the pullets.... YES?

Awesome!
No, I didn't get there yet - I'm just trying to get caught up here!
You guys were busy this HOT day!!

Yep - the necklace on the roos will tell the tale first (at least mine did)
Then, as they feather in, more and more color will show!

My pullets don't really show a necklace - their color is more subtle and in the ends of the feathers of the wings and tail.
