Happy Easter Everyone..

Hey there lady! Hope the new homestead is working out for you. How many critters are you up to?

I have 4 black chicks, day old, up for sale in Phila. area.

My chicken with "water belly" is getting to the point where she needs to be drained again. If this is from a possible infection, I would like to treat her with antibiotics. What type do I need to look for when going to TSC? Oral would be preferred.

I have another chicken that is breathing kinda wheezy, and sneezing like she has a cold. No other symptoms. What should I do to help her?

Anyone in SW Pennsylvania or near or below Pittsburgh have one to two ducklings available for payment or free? Would prefer Cayuga, but I need flock mates for a lonely Pekin duckling ASAP.

Does anyone know of any swaps or auctions near to SE PA? I still have 4 children of Adam to sell/swap and so far no takers. These are beautiful olive eggers but it seems like the market is saturated.

For me, the closest small animal and poultry auction is at Green Dragon in Ephrata. I was there last night. 3rd time this year I dropped off some extra roosters and male chicks to sell. They don't bring great prices, but everything sells. But you have no control over what happens to the birds you sell there, they could become food for people or other animals. As long as you are ok with this, then it is a viable option.

dheltzel -- what kind of box/cage do you need to bring the chickens in? These would be 3 week old chicks...

I use appropriate sized cardboard boxes with a large hole cut in the front and scrap pieces of wire over the hole.

Great thanks. BTW: this morning had my 15th hatchling from Adam -- and it's a lavender! That's running odds of 2 out of 15.
