yeah, it is hard to test, etc. I was just curious - glad to hear everyone is recovering! All those respiratory things sound alike and I couldn't figure out how to differentiate. I too have heard that once there is a "cold" it is one of the illnesses that the flock will be carriers for.
I dusted everyone tonight for the second treatment for mites - I would rather eat dirt than do that again. Yucky work, it gets in your mouth and you have to remember not to lick your lips or swallow, for that matter. No sign of mites on anyone, so good.
And the BO that was all puffed out decided she wanted to roost with everyone else - she was pacing in front of the cage door and raking the bars with her beak (ya think they watch jail break out movies to get that technique?) so I let her out. She flew up to the roost, so we will see how she does.
