I am so happy for you Chickielady. I am going to go and earmark the link you sent. I am on a well. Might be a good idea for me to do to. Everyone in my yard is doing well and happy. They get let out daily so they can go and poop on my porch and summer chairs, tear up the part of my vegetable garden they can get in and rest under the Japanese Maple.

Thank you for the information.

Well I got my honey bottled last night. Only got 14 1lb bottles, 3 pint jars and one honey bear. There might be a slight chance somebody munched some

from a broken frame that couldn't be spun. I was going to post a pic but my NEW camera has gone toes up already !!!!!

http://www.shagbarkbantams.com/oxine.htm I am going to look into this product more, verses Chlorinating our water.
It seems to be highly recommended by quite a few people, and web sites...I have also read that 7 drops of this product in a gallon of drinking water will take care of infectious coryza, so it bears enough merit to deserve further research, anything but antibiotics that can 1) suppress the bird's own immunal system, which leaves them defenseless for a few days once the antibiotic is removed leading to relaspe or additional oppurtunistic infections...and
2) the cost is astronomical for antibiotics and
3) most are super hard to find and...
4) most do not work as the pathogens have grown resiliant to almost all antibiotics.
Thos are called "superbigs" scarey !!!

If any of you have used Oxine, know where to get it, or any other info on it, I would love to hear it !
Oh, and my birds are doing excellent !!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Bue Copper roo was crowing at 6 AM, and his honeys the blue hens will lay any day now, I am so excited about that...we almost got the new coop and run done yesterday, full no climb/no dig fencing...and fully insulated, for the blue Ameraucanas.
I plan on hatching and selling ALOT of Blue Marans, Blue Splash Marans and Blue Ameraunas, love them the most !

do we have fisherman spiders around here?? I saw the biggest spider I've ever seen today IN MY HOUSE! I screamed like a little girl. Worse, it went under my bed and I can't find it. I bet it's 3-4 inches in diameter...

OH NO!!! Dont tell me your gonna be hatching Blue Ameraucanas!

I can't... No I WONT bring ANY more birds home... No, no, no... Bad Cheryl not until spring!

Though in the spring! My Husband agreed to me getting Ameraucanas, as long as I get him a Wheaton roo. lol He says no on a Blue Weaton, say's that he prefers the black over the blue.

To each their own. So what we are discussing is bringing home; 1 Wheaton roo, 2 Wheaton hens, 1 Blue hen, and 1 black hen. What I want to do is to try showing locally next year.
