Hi all, I accidentally bought Ivomec injectable liquid instead of the pour on, which is what I normally use. Already opened the box so I can't return it. Can I still use it and if so how - method, dosage? Thanks!

Any ideas?

I recently acquired a young bantam rooster - I think he's about 9 months old. He's only just started crowing and filling out to what I assume will be his full size (I'm new to bantams). He's 1 of 7 and the rest of the flock is standard...

Hi folks, I recently acquired a pair of bantams at a local poultry show. I've kept them separate from the other hens to keep an eye on them and make sure they're disease free. Thank goodness I did because it turns out they have a worm...

Thanks for your diagnosis - I'm really depressed now! It's funny because I actually care a lot more about him since I've been nursing him off and on. I didn't think he had Mareks because he's that bit older and he kept getting better,...
