You are correct, I checked the bottle, it says Tylan Soluble. My math is lousy, how to I administer that in one gallon water containers for my turkeys? And While I'm at it, what is the dosage for chickens?? This way I can keep it written down in case I need it again later. Thanks so much.

Quote: Hi, I know no one has answered your question, but I'm hoping someone will, because I'm having the exact same problem with my turkeys, one has swollen sinuses, the other one is just sneezy. I have Tylan 50 powder, and I'd like to know how much to give them to clear this up . Can someone...

I'll try that, I have a small pen that we use when we have a sick chicken. Today was even worse than yesterday, good grief. Thanks!

I'm hoping thats all it is, yes, I do let them free range, and lock them up at night. I've been looking under the bushes, but so far have not found any. Going to keep looking, hope I find a hidden nest somewhere, because for the life of me, I can't think why they would just drop off like that.

Hi, I've got a question about egg production. All of a sudden our chickens have gone on strike, egg production has dropped by nearly half, and we sell our eggs. They're so slow now that I have back orders, and I never had that trouble. We were giving our chickens 20% protein feed, but heard that...

Hello, Thank you ! I have some chicks that hatched here in the house a little over a week ago, right about the time the first chick started showing symptoms. We have not taken them outside yet, and being that I didn't have a clue about Mareks, they are not vaccinated yet. Will they be safe once...

Hello, I posted this morning about a chick with possible Mareks. Well, being the third chick with symptoms, it's looking very likely. I had never even heard of it until the first chick became ill last week, then right after the second chick came down with the same symptoms. I started...

I will try it, thank you so much. I called and spoke to the man at First State Vet Supply, I am going to order Mareks vaccine for all of the chickens, and I told him what the symptoms were. He said that being that it's not the first chick that has the symptoms, it's likely Mareks. OMG. This is...

Hello, I have a chick that I found this morning in the chick pen, it's about two months old. It looks off balance and dizzy. it's falling over when it tries to run with the other chicks. Can anyone tell me what this is?? And how can I treat it. I'm removing her from the rest and putting her in...

I'll try it, thank you for the advice. It drives me crazy, especially when it's under that rose bush, I'm all scratched and cut from trying to block off their little tunnels they made. Lock down it is, I know they hate it, but oh well, lol . Thanks , hope you all have a great weekend...

Maybe I might try that for a day or two. They hate being locked up, but maybe a day or two of not having any choice but to lay their eggs in the coop might get them over it. Worth a try!!! Thanks!! Dianna

Hello, Our chickens have started laying eggs outside of their coop, some of them, not all. Some places I can't get to, like under huge rose bushes. We have a Lady Banksia rose almost the size of a small house, no kidding. They've started going underneath it and laying eggs, I hear them when...

We sell ours for $2 dozen. We never buy our cartons, lots of people don't like fresh eggs, go figure. So I ask family members and other people I know to save me their egg cartons, we've never had to buy a carton. You could also post in your local freecycle, you can get lots of cartons that way...

Thank you!!

Hello, I have a Buff Orpington chick that hatched three days ago, it appears to have spraddle leg, and another problem with it's feet or legs. It wants to walk on it's legs?? The joint is looking a little red, and his feet don't bend to go straight on the floor. Have any of you had this issue...
