riverscape1 & KrisH!!

It's good to have you guys on board. As for you two & everyone else, I just had to let it be known that I finally got my Gold Feather Membership!!

Hope everyone is having a good Monday. Mine is going by particularly fast here at work, even though there's not much going on.

thank you.. I know i knew that I just needed to be told.

.. if my neighbor wasn't such a jerk I would ask them if they have sick birds.? and now that you mention it mom was talking about black birds coming in and resting by the pond and some were very weak hopefully not sick but what you say makes so much sense.. wild birds could have gone next door then stopped at my birds water...

I have one of my little bitties in with Lafiat tonight. oh he is getting so spoiled. hah and sick of the amoxi drops.. but he's taking it and event hough outside the big kids have been mean to the little bitties. he has taken her right next to him and acting like a big daddy.. He really is amazing.. I dont know if he's show quality or what but I tell ya I am so impressed with his flock managment skills.. its like watching a good herd Stallion..

thanks again.. for telling me what I needed to hear... I feel soooo much better now...

hugs and smiles )O(

my take on this is a little different. New chickens stay in quarantine for a while. If they get a respiratory problem, they are euthanized. I have nice chickens and don't want to risk infecting my chickens because of some new ones I bring in. If you have chickens only for the eggs and don't care about selling chicks it probably does not matter. But if you are selling chicks to the public and know that you have chickens that have recovered from a respiratory problem, you may be passing on infections to your customers, which certainly is not fair to them either. I bought chicks that got sick the next day. That was certainly not fair to me at all because I am out the money they cost, plus the gas and time it took to go get them. Unless you have pathology done on the chick you have no idea if what he has is a contagious virus or something simple. I won't take that chance.

Yea I make sure to water it everyday~ I'm outside at 6:30am every morning watering the garden, flowers and letting the chickens out to play! The one thing I do love about the summer is sunshine waking me up bright and earlye Most of vegies are holding up pretty well, but it looks like my lettuce and eggplants aren't going to make it

~ but all the melons and tomatoes, squash, corn look great!
