I haven't found an answer anywhere. Sorry if this is the wrong forum. Is there any medication that can be added to water to kill mites sold in the US? Everything I found is not shipped to the US. I've tried every other thing, dust, drops, etc. I need something effective. I'm disabled and cannot...
I have a rooster in a cage right now, was infested with mites. He's eating great now, he's very, very thin. I'm giving him regular pellets. chick starter, scratch, sunflower seeds. Anything I can think of to put some weight on him. I've been giving him extras, broccoli, pumpkin puree, a few...
I had to dip my rooster with permethrin. Loaded with mites. It's been a bad year! My question is, do I bathe him after a few days or just leave it alone? I searched for an answer but couldn't find anything on a follow up. thanks
I’m sorry if posting in the wrong forum. Wasn’t sure where it fits. I have a question for the seasoned poultry keepers. On average what is a normal bird loss per year?
I am wondering is there enough vitamins and minerals in store feed? I have been reading about all these deficiencies and wondering if I should be supplementing with something. I do put vitamins in their water occasionally. Any thoughts?
I had a young hen around 9 months old, I bought her as a chick from L&M supply, her symptoms were anemia, weight loss, and panting or labored breathing, ruffled feathers. All the articles I've read talk about eye bubbles and mucus. She didn't have that. She would drink water but couldn't get her...
Kingsford is about 45 miles from me. It is beautiful here but the winters are so long and cold! I was born and raised here. Live on the farm I grew up on.
No I don’t free range. Too many predators. My birds range from 4 months old to 6 years. I have silkies, salmons, olive eggers and every thing in between! 😊 I have 17 hens and 3 roosters. I keep telling my husband it’s the lighting but he doesn’t believe me. I said if you want to turn the lights...
Done with molting and there is always oyster shells available. My son bought me a skeleton chicken and I think I might put it out there to let them see what’s going to happen if they don’t get to work! Slackers! 😂
I tried search but couldn't an answer. None of my hens have laid an egg for months. I'm clueless as to why. During the winter we turn the lights on in thee morning for them. I live in the u.p. of MI and our winters are pretty dreary, not much sunshine. In spring when the sun is nice and bright...
I'm sorry if this topic has been asked. I couldn't find it. I found Corid pellets at tsc today. Can these be added to feed pellets as a preventative?
There are approximately 5,670 mg of amprolium in every 1 lb of CORID 1.25% Pellets
you're lucky to have so many vets in the area. we have two vets, one only dogs and cats and the other does farm calls but doesn't have any knowledge in poultry. I guess they think poultry is expendable. That's sad!
