Infectious Sinusitus

Well my run of bad luck continues.  My small flock of Cream & Cotswold Legbars became ill and I lost 3 within a matter of days. Despite a course of anti biotics from the vet, who said it was infectious sinusitus' there was no improvement so, for the very first time, I had to cull. yesterday it was the last of the Cotswolds and today I had to dispatch the last legbar. I have had the legbars since they were a day old and they were not far off laying. I now have a solitary Cream Legbar Cockerel who may or may not survive.

Although culling for the first time was very hard, it was easier I guess as they did not struggle,  but I just could not watch them gasping for air and suffering and I think there is a moment when you just know they will not make it.

Fortunately the legbars were all in a separate enclosure with 8ft fencing and their own coop, not completely free range as my other chickens, but sill a good sized area to roam around.  My partner reakons I should call it a day and I am forbidden to spend another penny on those ******g chickens. Life's a bitch and then you die!!!!!!!

How sad. It's awful when they are suffering I do feel sorry for you!

   So sorry to hear about your Legbars Prod.  It is not nice to have to cull any bird but it is best to have the knowledge to be able to save them the extra stress for a car journey.
