So...of course, my opinion might continue to change...but I do think it is possible that I hatched the cuckoo maran (as I mentioned earlier) but also I'm leaning toward the yellow one as the Light Sussex. It is yellow, no feathers on legs, and the wings are growing in white. The picture below is not mine, but my bird has the same coloring, except its getting white feathers on it tail now. From what I can tell BO get darker a bit, not lighter.

Hi All

Sorry for the loss of birds

I think there is only 2 poults left

Next year I'm getting a (as Jim puts it) a turkey porch built!!! I got talked out of it this year.

Young son is starting clean out and pack up much of his stuff. He bought himself a nice tent (it's called a "Vacation Home") and a cot. He has some other camp gear so he should be OK. He's really looking forward to this new adventure. Texas Ren. Fair, North Carolina Ren. Fair, home for a week or so (for Christmas), the off to Hawaii until March, then they start the Ren. Fair circuit again. Don't ya just feel so sorry for the kid? LOL I've been working on my feather projects. TO...I WILL GET THE MONEY TO YOU ! D@mn CRS! OK, I just got up and got the envelope and the box to get the addy! Steps 1& 2 done! LOL.

It's molting season....cool feathers welcome! (even cool small ones) Roo feathers would be loved! I will pay postage plus a few bucks! Quills for pens needed! Large quills could be wrapped in a paper bag with cardboard. You can send them regular mail, they'll be here in a few days.

Morning.
Now definitely know it's the small BA that is doing the shedding/bleeding. Was able to see it empty it's ceca. In that too. Stopped the maintenance dose of corid yesterday and will be giving three days of protein and probiotics then worming as per instructions found in a post by dawg 53 to someone in a similar situation. I decided not to wait for the fecal float. Results would have taken over a week from my vet. They couldn't do it and would have to send it to the lab in Marshfield, really? This pullet is 14 weeks old and quickly approaching start of lay (if she's even going to be able to.) And I don't want to wait. If this doesn't work however, I am at a loss. My research so far has turned up no other answers. I don't have room for another non producer in my coop, if she will even survive. Can't imagine she can keep shedding/bleeding forever. So far tho she seems to be doing OK otherwise???
Any serious ideas/input at this point would be greatly appreciated.
BTW- i can supply pic of bloody/tissue (clearly) poo if needed for those who think I am overreacting, etc.

I am really so ready to not be an infirmary nurse and just enjoy healthy animals for a while, sigh. . Well, at least the vet finally gave my puppy a clean bill of health. My very healthy (thankfully) kitty just crawled into my lap and is trying to play an my touch screen so I better get up and feed her.
Bbl.

Oh and I forgot to add. I posted pics of them on the Aussie thread and everyone is saying that the other "pullet" is a cockerel!

You scheduled a hay unloading on a Thursday?!

Lost a Budgie today, one that we hatched out. Poor Kiwi was pretty fat, and of course since it was a budgie there are not a lot of options as far as vet care.

Cuties I was sorry to hear about your hen (I can't keep track of hens and chicks though). I apologize for not saying something earlier.

Had an interview today. I am thinking I will be offered the job but at $12 an hour...... well let's just say I made more working part time at the cheese company.

Back to the grind again tomorrow! On the upside my tomatoes are finally getting ripe! I have had some of the beautiful yellow striped toms and the Black Krim, and the Amish Paste, they all taste WONDERFUL! I wish I could grow them all year long.....

Thanks Cuties! I would say around 5, so not very old for a Budgie. She was one of the 5 that we hatched out. Of those 5 we have 2 left. She was spoiled rotten and had a wonderful life so in the end it is not too sad. She did like to eat! Probably the root of her downfall.

Job hunting sucks.... I wish I could stay at home...... my house would be a LOT cleaner and I would get all those 'little' projects out of the way.... plus I would have much more time for canning and so on.....

heck, my flower beds would be weeded!

Sorry about your Budgie Mel--I only ever got 5-7 years out of one here...I would like to caution you about being home...you THINK you will get a lot done...but I think when you are home you think...I have all this time to get such and such done...and before you know it it is 6pm! There is some saying that says something like: "A chore will fill all the time allotted to it." Or kinda like that...I should look it up--it is a good one!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She lives.......................

Yes she does...I even said that in a creepy voice when I read it!

X100 on the birthday wishes!
Gee, I hope Jim can see red! That's the color there Jim! Happy day!

I am headed out now. Off to work, pick up veggies from CSA, grocery shop, Feed mill....the usual ya know.
Have a good one! TErriO

(PS) Dont know what to tell ya (once again) about the Aussies Vicki...the rest are doing just fine! I hope the other one isnt a cockerel! That would be a shame...I would trade it back but I dont think I have any girls left!
