    Videos on BYC Forums

    I love BYC. I don't mind ads. I know they are important and I like to read them. But these darn video ads cause my computer to to go into high gear and heat up. I actually stopped coming to this site last Spring because of them. Today I come back and there they are. Still! My computer is fine...

    Gapeworm Diagnosis

    Thank you both. I will be reviving this thread once I get a follow up fecal test. By the way when should I do that? A week or 2 maybe?

    Gapeworm Diagnosis

    Good Lord! So 1/2 ml for 5 days. Wait 10 days and on day 16 dose them again for 5 days. Is the withdrawal 10 or 14 days? And thank you so much.

    Gapeworm Diagnosis

    Thank you. This is the first I've heard of dosing 3 days in a row. I did buy some ivermectin but unless they look worse when I get home I wii wait for my Valbazen tomorrow When I heard gapeworm I heard death sentence but maybe they will survive. Just have to do a regular worming several times...

    Gapeworm Diagnosis

    Oh and yes I use all of the herbal and probiotic preventions. My girls have always been fat and sassy. Maybe this winter was just too much stress.

    Gapeworm Diagnosis

    That's just it. I read on this forum that Valbazen didn't have to be preceded by wazine. Just the 2 doses 10 days apart according to Dawg53 Did I read correctly? Also I think the gapeworm needs to take priority if it's possible. I am at tractor supply now. Think I'll just buy out the entire...

    Gapeworm Diagnosis

    Everything seems to have just gone to hell in the last few weeks! First I had an Easter Egger pooping green/yellow and very lethargic. I started her on Penicillin and kept her in the house one night and she perked right up. Next day my big Brahma hen starts wheezing. I gave her a shot of...

    West Central Ohio Poultry Club 3rd Annual DOUBLE Show & Sale -- March 14,15,16 2014

    I am new to poultry shows and swaps, but a breeder has offered to bring a couple chicks I want to this show. My question is....Is there a way to find out what people are bringing for sale? A list somewhere maybe? I'd like to get a couple more chicks while I'm there.

    Brahma Thread

    My grandmother from Wayne County KY during the depression would cook a possum for a homeless man who would bring her one on occasion. She wouldn't eat it because she said it was very very greasy. This isn't her recipe. Roast Opossum:. The opossum is a very fat animal with a peculiarly flavored...

    Best Easiest Way to Expand This Coop

    I think you are on to something. Right now my chickens roost across the back of the coop and forward up the left side a little. kind of a |¯¯ shape. I have built a board with sides under them filled with PDZ. If I built an exterior 8 ft long nesting box along the left side, I could extend the...

    Best Easiest Way to Expand This Coop

    Do you think it would work to attach a box like structure the length of the coop on the left?. Kind of an egg laying box, built out from the side about 3 feet. If that would be too wide, maybe extra support with post or extend the platform, This would give a little more floor space. Tilted roof...
