Last week I discovered my 6 red sex links had taken to pecking each others vents, 3 of them were bleeding. I seperated them, cleaned them up the best I could and sprayed all six bottoms with blu-kote. after a couple of days I was able to re-introduce 2 back with the others, but had to keep the...

Thankyou for this thread, I discovered my 6 red sex links had taken to pecking each others vents, 3 of them were bleeding. I seperated them, cleaned them up the best I could and sprayed all six bottoms with blu-kote. after a couple of days I was able to re-introduce 2 back with the others, but...

Anyone have any insights?

Only problem with them is that they progressively roost in the trees and get picked off by raccoon and owl. My 18 strong flock ended...

I started Amprol treatment this morning after discovering several suspicious poops in the meat kings tractor and also signs that the turkey poults may have it. None of the birds are adcting lethargic as yet, but I'm not taking any chances. I lost so many poults last year to it, it was...

That's a lot of guineas :-O Mine enjoy running around this place. They have 5 acres of pasture to maintain and then they like to explore the woods that surround our property too. Our home is set back from a country road so we don't have to worry about traffic. Here the guineas are...
