Okay well, to throw another wrench in the gears.....you may just have to wait to see how it feathers out....because I am on the fence about the color myself! It could be a light blue or a dark splash.....really hard to say.

Well, I am hoping these are all girls, of course. Cute little buggers!

Thanks! I'm going with blue then! I will get a picture of all 3 and see if they are all blue.

Nick, hang in there, time will help heal the grief.

Cyn, that quilt is lovely! I hope your dental problems will get better soon.

Serrin, I hope Chief is doing better!

I spent the evening visiting with a childhood friend. We were best friends in 6th grade thru high school when we both lived in Georgia. Then she moved away in High school and later we lost touch. I have tried to find her over the last 30 years and this past summer she found me. Funny thing is... she has lived 40 miles from me for the last 15 years! Tonight she brought the letters I had written to her so many years ago. The stamps were 15 cents and in one of the letters I was complaining about how much gas was and that it took $40 to make a trip from GA to South Carolina and back.

Well spent most of the day at a annual New Year's Day auction with mom. I came home with a Italian 22cal pistol. There was a crock style chick water, but they hadnt even got close to selling it and we were pooped. So Mom came home with a Red Wing jug, brass umbrella stand, a Kissing Crane knife and mother of pearl handled magnify glass for my stepdad and a plaid metal lunchbox like she had in elementary school. We came home to black eyed peas, corn beef,cabbage and cornbread. I'm stuffed!!! Hope everyone has a had a good New Years!!

Kathy...that is a useful link but I have major problems with using it as an example or required reading....let me explain...

First...the relative "newbie" giveing such hardcore diagnosis and instruction...bugs the crap out of me. every bird that gets sick is not a Myco issue...respiratory or not

Secondly, bird was never seen by a vet but one was consulted...and a psuedo diagnosis given and the OP was advised bird would be a carrier...

Third...no one advised her to cull the bird or explained that her flock would have to be closed....or told her that she needed to fully disclose the condition to potential visitors, buyers etc...

and

Fourth no one discussed biosecurity with her...

All of this leads to the OP assuming her bird is contagious carrier, the OP lacking in biosecurity understanding or an understanding of closing a flock...stuff like this is what makes illnesses run rampant through an area and get spread....no one verifies the disease/illness with a vet....they are not informed about biosecurity and not selling their birds and wham...sick birds are being dispersed to other flocks.

Makes me sick!

And for the record...I have had hens blow bubbles from their nares/nostrils because of getting water up their nose...that does not mean I am going to have an infected flock, it means I have more than one silly hen in flock. Cannonball is forever trying to snorkel in water, dunked her whole head

Also for the record...I called Amy today and talked to her about Chief because the symptoms she stated reminded me of my Lancelot and Ebony...who were isolated a couple months ago and taken to the vet....they had caught phneumonia from getting wet and cold...I shared the information with her about them, the vet's instructions and the medication given.
