Vitamin C tabs - its late What do you use them for? You
According to this. I have nothing in my box. Oh, I don't even have it in a box.

Where do you get the spray on Blue Cote? I know you are going to end up explaining what some of that is and what its used for. And don't forget some of the how to stuff. Like that stuck egg today, but on here.

Now where is Shelley? - She knows this stuff.

Vitamin C Helps Egg Laying And Maintain Laying Rates During Times Of Heat Stress. The Blue Cote Can Be Purchased From Many Places--- Ebay, Cutler's Supply, Jeffers, Even (god I Hate To Say This...) Tsc---- Its Usually In And Around The Horse Care Areas. Comes In 2 Forms... Aerosol Spray Can And Liquid Bottle With A Dauber Brush Inside= Get The Spray Its Easiest To Use On A Squirming Bird

When Looking At My Kit Keep In Mind I Keep Many Many Different Speces, Many High Dollar Speces. My Kit Is For All Birds I Keep, Turkeys, Chickens, A Myraid Of Pheasant Speces, Quail, And Migratory Waterfowl. Some Things Are More Speces Specific, Others Can Be Used In A Shotgun Approach For Almost All Birds, Such As The Blue Cote And Solumet, Or Wazine...

Ok, I am going to look for that spray Blue Cote. Never noticed it before, might get the dabber one too, head wounds. All I have is a cream type. Too thick and messy, but it's what I have. Thank you Q-tip developer.

So, can we get you to specify on some of that - so we know, like the peepers, now I know those aren't for the quailies. But Pheasant folks might find our Emergency list handy, too. Chickens have their own list that doesn't always apply to quail. But like you, a lot of people have all kinds of critters running around.

Oh, dosages. I am thinking if no ones around and someone has a 3AM our time emergency they can check out the list and figure out what to do. That kind of thing.

I figure Martha is spending way to much time watching those cute little buttons she has and needs something else to keep her busy until Spring, anyway. I can say that casue I am pretty sure she is not on line this late.

Do you recommend putting nutri drench in for a flock chickens that are fighting a winter cold? It seems like it's been a few weeks of them having this cold (or maybe they are passing it around) I have been putting electrolytes in the water and today just started the antibiotics again to try to nip it. Just a week or so ago we have single digit weather and now we are in the 60's so I blame the weather for the illness! But just thought I might tyr the nutri drench if you thought it would work better! Thanks for any/all help!
