I read time and time again where people have sick chickens and they keep trying to do all sorts of things to get them better - only to end up keeping chickens that help some disease to continue to live and spread - thus harming their own flock and those of other chicken raisers - when someone suggests that they should cull the sick birds others think that this is a curel - I truly believe a lot of the problems that people are faced with are the result of people not wanting to cull their sick birds - just think if every time a chicken got sick and it was culled most of the diseases that are encountered would be very rare - so what I am saying - if you can't cull a sick chicken you are too soft hearted and should not raise chickens -
