Does anyone in the Seattle area have a vet that they reccommend? One of my girls is sneezing all the time, and I have no idea what to do. Thanks!

Are you sure you want to spend the $ at a vet, or would you rather have some recs for antibiotics? How long has she been sneezing? Are other birds affected too?

@Totalcolour, it is sad that youth can't function with things stated in a different order. Kinda like them not being to give change without the computer telling them what to give.

Well, I should know better by now. But yes, it is sad. We took our old phones in to upgrade earlier this year, and the kid who did it was totally freaked out when we handed over our old phones. He said he'd heard about them, but never seen any phones that only could make phone calls!
Well you see technically the first one would have more bacon while the second would have more chicken . I know it's kind of like what's more dangerous a barrel half full of gasoline or a barrel half empty of gasoline?

AAAH, the truth in labeling thing! Big ingredients first - silly me!

You have to be KIDDING, right??? Is today April 1???

Must have been his Halloween costume, a Zombie! So, did you see my earlier post, can you make it next week? So far, only CL has responded.

Nobody loves me, I'm going to join the chickens outside and eat worms.
I like worms can I join in???

Sure...if it's something that I could treat on my own I would totally give it a shot. She has been sneezing for at least a week, but she is eating and drinking and acting normal....my other two girls don't seem to be affected at all.

Coming home this afternoon I wasn't feeling very well, so I decided to call in for a pizza for pick up, since it was on the way. I asked the kid who answered the phone, if I could have a thin crust "BACON, CHICKEN AND ARTICHOKE" pizza. He thought for a minute, then said

"Well, we only have a "CHICKEN, BACON AND ARTICHOKE" pizza. Do you want one of those?

No rewards for guessing which one I picked!

I read this to my DW and all she could say was, "WOOOOWWWW"

Well everyone treats their birds differently. I am of the opinion that I would never take a chicken to a vet, but I know many disagree. If I were you I'd pick up some antibiotics; my favorite for respiratory ailments is Denagard. My girls had the sneezes and sniffles for about 2 months before I finally was able to buy the Denagard (while nothing else worked) and it knocked out whatever it was. If one chicken has something, be sure to treat the whole flock though as they've been exposed for sure. HTH! I'm sure others will chime in as well. PM me if you want some of my own Denagard; the stuff is expensive if you have to buy the whole 34oz. bottle from QCSupply, but I'd be happy to sell a few ounces locally.

Busy day today. The kids had fun dressing up and trick-or-treating. Plus, we were able to visit with family.

We had to rescue the pumpkins from the front porch. DH caught some teenagers sneaking around in our neighbor's yard. We had a bunch of uncarved pumpkins sitting out for decoration, but they're meant to be food for the chickens. Didn't want those stolen!

Tomorrow the big girls will get to enjoy my tasty "chicken" pumpkin that I carved this afternoon.

How old do the chicks need to be to enjoy fresh pumpkin? Are my little ones too young (2 weeks)?



I hope everyone had a fun evening. I have lots of reading to catch up on - I'm all the way back on page 180. I'm tired and headed to bed... night all!

Also keep in mind for your own safety. IF you treat and your girls are laying eggs. MANY meds have an egg withdrawl. Meaning DON'T eat the eggs for a given time.

CHICKENS DON'T get colds.

[Chickielady]

Very nice !!!! But that's not called an 8 point around here. That's a 4 point or a 4x4

exactly !!!
