For the last 3 weeks I have been unable to gain access to this website and it was just when I really needed some expert advice!!! I dont know if anyone remembers but I was handrearing 3 little chicks as their parents had abandoned them. Well all was going great until they developed French Moult. When I couldnt access this website I rang my local vet who put me in touch with an avian vet. He recommended I cull the whole lot as it is very contagious so I was totally devastated. I had never had any of my birds contract this disease ever before so it is a mystery how they got it and lets hope none of my other birds get it.

It is great to be back - I have missed the chats with everyone about our birds!!

I wonder if that is why the parents abandoned them - because they sensed something was wrong? Sorry for your loss.

I never thought of that, you could be right! Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this happening??

glad you are back on and sorry for your loss
