@Lelanae I am so sorry you lost your buddy... I never understood why dogs have to have such short lives when they are such amazing animals.

@AnneInTheBurbs
That sucks about your gray...I hope he responds to the treatments though

I’m sorry about the animals.

What a sad day. My African Grey is sick, most likely with Aspergillosis. I have been so busy lately, I didn’t realize he had lost some weight. He was having trouble breathing yesterday, and today it was much worse. So we took him to the emergency vet, which was of course very expensive. Blood tests should confirm, but the vet is pretty sure that is what we are dealing with.

Treatment is prolonged, and not guaranteed to work.

Oh no! I hope he responds well to the treatment

I am so sorry Anne. I had a African Grey --they are so intelligent. I lost my molucccan cockatooView attachment 1351713 after over 3,000 in avian vet bills--she was a total love --and even with necropsy, they never figured out what kind of infection she had.
I hope you have some luck. I had to have my beloved dog Max euthanized yesterday.He was almost 15 (within days) and couldn't even stand up the last few days. He is he big boy on the right in the picture.

I'm so very sorry for your loss

@Auroradream26. What day is lockdown for turkey eggs? I have a few that are on day 22 tonight.

Day 25 is lockdown for turkey eggs.

Well I just got a call from the vet that our little parrot passed away. I was concerned that maybe I transmitted the Aspergillosis to my parrot from my chickens, but the vet said all birds are exposed to it. My parrot must have had an underlying health problem that caused it to get out of hand.

I feel like such a bad pet owner. Looking back, there were signs he was not acting completely normal.

@Lelanae Thanks for the kind words, and so sorry for your loss also. Looks like he had a nice long life with you.

I'm so very sorry Pets are such endearing members of the family. It's so hard to lose them.

Anne, I am sorry he passed...please know you are a wonderful pet parent, we all can miss signs sometimes and birds are so adept at hiding symptoms it is even harder to catch things early. You provide your animals with love and care every day and they know it!

I'm so sorry for those that have lost pets. I know how hard it is. We all go through those tough times.

How much do you guys sell your eggs to neighbors? I get about 12-16 eggs a day. and the kids have slowed down on eating eggs so I'm getting over run with eggs.

I sell my eggs at $2 a dozen and have a lot of people wanting eggs. Someone asked me to set aside 6 dozen for her! My husband complains sometimes because I sell so many, I forget to save some for ourselves!

I missed being outside with the chickens so much. Yesterday was a beautiful day so we all went outside to do chores. I caught my son flipping over rocks for the chickens. How adorable!

My turkeys hatch in 27 - 28 days, so I move them to a hatcher on day 24.
