Who Vaccinate's their flocks?

That was how I got introduced to ILT.

This makes me angry. I boggle at the logic of your 'reporter'. A. You never said you had a bird with ILT. B. Blood around the mouth can mean many things. C. Do YOU a favor by not reporting? Is anyone doing anyone a favor here, or just using scare tactics! D. If it was bad enough to mention, perhaps that person should have reported it. (Not that I would wish that on you, TB!)

You must have left that converation, very upset!

What it taught me was to be very careful when I post and I rarely ask for advice on any forums.
Funny thing was I actually got to meet the person who contacted me at one of the shows. I don't believe she meant any harm, but it was just the way she tried to help. It just could have been worded or done better.
