Southern NY, Dutchess county and below

Thanks Roberta, I feel a lot better having the kit on hand. Queenchick, the girls all appear to be doing so much better. They are running around and being silly again. I notice the color isn't as quick to come back as it was to go in their combs. I am still holding my breath every morning before opening the coop door. I am more worried about the silkie chilling in the house with the cat. She is all alone and I think too small to be with the big girls. 

So I am close to jersey (sorry I forgot who asked). 

Hope everyone had an enjoyable fathers day.

Had the silkie been in contact with your other girls? If not just hold off a little while longer. You might even mark the calendar when the illness first started so you know how long it's been. It's always best to keep a little notebook . I have a chicken book I started years ago. I have to write things down, I'm blonde and old.......
 
I do know that they are bred to get big really fast. All they do is eat and poop!
Truly awful critters, and I love anything with fur feathers or fins. They try to kill each other, and I had never a doubt in my mind that they'd have me to the bones if I ever fell down in their pen. Even my vegetarian daughter had no love for the meaties.

They are velociraptors without the brains. Scary. Of course my sons thought they were awesome and want me to get more.

Teenage boys also complain about there not being any food as they put the last chip in their mouths...
I am fearful of the day when my son eats like that. Right now he won't eat anything and everyone warns me that the day will come when I can't keep him fed fast enough and he will complain. Part of me can't wait...part of me sees what my husband was like and dreads the food bills.

Last year, my husband put a LOCK on the pantry. Out of sheer necessity. It's open just about all day, but we lock it at night. It seems the "Mice" were taking whole bags of chips, entire jars of pickles, and carrying off loaves of bread! Locks worked better than a cat in this particular case...

We have a bad 'Mouse" problem...
