Quote: you have already received some great advice but I would add that VetRX would give her quick relief for her breathing. Very inexpensive, natural, won't interfere with the Denegard and it has tons of other uses. One I always keep in my emergency kit.

Q

I do remember wolf man jack!

I used to crank up the stereo to do housework and sing to it. lol

I wonder if you are thinking of the Todd Rundgren song Wolfman Jack?

Sounds like it's a combination of problems. Weak from no nutrition, adequate water and overcome by the cold.
You're on the right track but it wouldn't hurt to put her somewhere a little warmer. Healthy birds can take sub zero but a sick bird can benefit greatly from about 70F.

The problem is likely a combination of viral, fungal and bacterial but since she's knocked down so badly the antibiotics Pozees recommended will take care of secondary bacterial infection which she surely has by now.
Her body weight may be good because of the corn. Doesn't mean she's had much protein or vitamins/minerals though.

Chickens don't really get pneumonia but could be Chronic Respiratory Disease. Not many effective treatments but Tylan will help. If it is CRD, I think that is a reportable disease.
What are her droppings like?

Some plain yogurt will give protein and probiotics. She'll need them with antibiotics.
Crumbled hard boiled egg will give her a boost too.

Great advice, as always

So many of his songs pop randomly into my head. I bought the DVD of the concert, I was so amazed at the quality of his voice decades after the original recordings, and how much more heartfelt some of them seemed in this particular performance.

I really hate crowds too, but it was a little different when I was in my teens and twenties.

X2 on Queen. I listened to a couple today.

Did you know that Queen was the only rock music allowed in Iran? It's because Freddie Mercury was Persian. I guess they chose to ignore the gay part.

Same here on my aversion to crowds as I've gotten older.

You are certainly a fount of little-known (here anyway) facts! I did not know that about Queen and Iran!

Oh boy, look at what I am considering keeping. I have her here, a Great Dane. 4 months old. Blue Fawn in coloring. She is so laid back, just laying down beside me right now.

You do know how much floor she will use up when she's done growing, don't you?

My DW found one and Thats ONE BIG dog now.

We are one awesomely cool set of old folks, who wouldn't want to hang with us?

I will draw the line at doing home videos of Ice Ice Baby OR The Potty Song. Sorry, SCG. I can't believe you remembered that!

I was able to clean up some after our much needed rain. I cleaned out two coops, cleaned the muck off of a sidewalk and sprayed the runs with Litter Life. Litter life is amazing! The smell went away very quickly. Of course I did all of this in the dark after 6pm. I just finished treating the layers in the coop with frontline. 10 days ago I treated with Bimectin pour on.

I am too old for all of this work after working my regular job. How long is it to retirement?

I unfortunately have a great memory for stuff like this. My brain cells are busy remembering stuff like this, and not important things like "why did I go into this store?" and "where did I park my car?"


Pretty sure my car is in the garage, currently. I'm thankful for that because when I went out earlier it was -18. The garage is at least 44... much more comfortable.

Sure you could. It looks just like this:



Now just imagine Sparkles under your chair. Isn't that peaceful?

And DiDi - did I not get the picture right? Even down to the hair!

The only thing we are not sure of is the fingers but other than that, yes it is correct. She could use some lipstick though.
