You are eminently more toleranmt than I am which is self evident by the fact that you allow your neighbours to dictate whether you can kill the vermin which thratens your birds and you are subservient to your husband. I bow to nobody.

That is really a shame Pammy!
Are you happy in your life bowing to nobody and rubbing about everybody the wrong way?
Life and marriage are about compromise, something you have repeatedly demonstrated you have no comprehension of. Fowl are a hobby, or a business, and everyone knows something that they want to tell you. Most of the information that comes from these experts is rubbish, but everyone has an opinion. My wife hates fowl in all forms, that does not stop us being happy and yes she has her say in what happens in the fowl yard. We compromise!
Personally I read this group and at times wonder if the some of the people posting really are using any common sense at all, or are just another brand of PETA. On the whole I ignore the lunatic posts recommending veterinary care for something which is worth all of a few dollars, but then my opinion is probably considered lunatic by those who appear to think that money is not an option.
Reality and circumstance have to be considered in all things, and the treatment of fowl is something that will vary dependent on a persons location and culture. I would NOT take a sick bird to the vet, unless I was trying to diagnose an epidemic in the flock. I would treat it where I could and lop it's head and replace it with a healthy one if I could not cure it. Given that I can not get access to antibiotics without spending 50 odd dollars on a vets consultation, they are automatically excluded from my kill or cure regime. Does this attitude make me a poor bird keeper? or a realist? I think it makes me a realist, you may think it makes me a monster, but I have raised thousands of birds in the past 30 years.
Finally Pammy, could you cease treating people as fools, sadists, negligent etc. They are asking questions here because they are at least interested enough in their birds to want to do something right for them. Being Rude and dominating as an obvious animal lover is not constructive and may even drive off people who have done nothing more wrong than ask a question.
You really make me laugh when you criticise people for having an animal and knowing nothing about it. I clearly remember my first born son, we knew nothing at all about babies and fumbled along, asked questions and sought advice all over. Eventually we raised him to an adult and in the process learned enough to not have half the 'problems' with the following four. The point here is that parents usually know nothing or very little and are charged with raising the next generation. What is so wrong with people buying a few fowl with a similar level of ignorance and like new parent asking lots of questions.
