Hmm, must be contagious, I was about 200+ posts behind too.
TO sure hope Tommy gets better, poor little guy.
Jim just love the pics of the pups, and good luck with your procedure, we'll be anxious to hear from you after.
Sclark good luck with the insurance co
1876 glad the fire damage wasn't worse and the injuries minor although quite painful, yes as a believer in essential oils Lavender is definitely one of the best for burns, cuts, rashes it has good healing qualities.
Well I'm so done with this winter too!! We were headed into town Thursday and caught just enough of the soft snow on the shoulder to pull us down into a steep ditch

We were less than a quarter of a mile from the house, but it was still $100 to have it towed to our neighbor (our mechanic). The say things come in threes . . . 1. Wednesday night neighbor called we had flames coming out of the fireplace chimney (had it checked out-all OK) 2. Water pipe broke (fixed now) 3. Drove truck into the ditch (not sure what that final cost will be). All done now right?????

All the hatch talk has us planning. With five new Delaware hens we are thinking/hoping to have at least one broody hen this year. With my luck they'll all decide to give a try! When the time comes we will be looking to purchase eggs to set. Hubby would like Black Jersey Giants or Black Australops. We may also be looking for RIR's since we already have four that are about 2 years old and they seam to be such good layers. We have also thought of Wyandottes, we have four bantam dottes and may try the large dotte. Any suggestions, opinions, contacts would are appreciated.

Gee I should post more often so as not to fill up the page . . . where is Frenchy???

We have 6" of white here, and it is still falling.....

Speaking of going in the ditch, the DH missed his exit on his way home from work, so he thought he would come into town on one of the back roads...... and of course he is driving the 4x4 vehicle and still manages to put the Jeep in the ditch! He did not even have it in 4 wheel drive! Silly.......... had to give him a lot of grief for that one! He called my BIL to come drag him out of the ditch, my BIL did not have his truck parked correctly and he went in too! Good thing my BIL is on the FD; he ended up calling the FD Chief and they were both pulled out! His excuse is that the road was not plowed right, and the drifts were coming from the wrong direction.

Baked ham for dinner tonight! I think I will treat everyone and make the pineapple upside down cake from Terri's book. It always tastes so good hot out of the oven with a sprinkle of Rum!

good evening,, I survived a ride home from town with Annie driving.. I don't think I need any de-fib installed if I survived that ride..

nephew called, he is not going to try coming tonight.. I was just about to call him and tell him not to try.. there is always tomorrow..

Annie got up early this AM and baked a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting..

I will start up Ollie in the AM and push this white stuff around for an hour or so.. at least it is light and fluffy ..

had a lady come look at the pups today.. she is going to think it over.. she will be back.. she has sold her horses and they will be gone in about a week.. I think she will use that money for the pup..
she is a veterinarian . gave up her practice to become a livestock farmer.. feeder pigs and beef ..
she also has a couple hundred laying hens.. and raises meat chickens too..

TerriO I second the suggestion of Tylan. (BBPs the one who I discovered this from). When Peekachu sounded like that a month ago, except he couldnt stand up, hung his head off the perch, etc.....the Tylan worked miracles. I actually added a little feed to the mixture to get some in him at his weakest.I sure hope he gets better fast!

TO..something to think about..I am not saying I am correct..but it is something to think about..and my opinion.


Look at the bird..He looks healthy..feathers look shinny..
Look at his comb and wattles..nice bright colors..if lungs are compromised they usually do not have bright colors.usually tips are fading in color if it is lung problems...I think it might be something more like mold..

Things you can try:
Nice warm coffee or tea..see if you notice a difference ..caffine relieves the broncial tubes...it is not a cure and not to be used caffine can kill too..it is just a way to tell if this could be a possibility. He has mucus build up and is having trouble breathing. Even his nares are blocked.

The mold maybe causing an alergic reaction


do you have Denagard?

Take him out of his cage..put him in a clean dry card board box..get him off the floor..if you have him close to a fish tank..move him..your dinning room table is perfect..lol
I would not put him in an open cage unless you cover the sides a good 6 inches for drafts for now.
