Great list and dialog however, if you raise chicken to eat their eggs or sell the eggs, do not, I REPEAT DO NOT, feed your chickens raw fish. There is nothing wrong with feeding them fish, in fact they love it. I did feed them fish once, raw tuna scraps, a few days later I ate one of those eggs...

Look at that face.

If I plant all these herbs for them to eat is it considered pre-seasoning?

Thank you, that is what I was looking for but my search parameters were different so I wasn't getting this thread.

Alright here we go, after search and combing through threads I am just frustrated with the answers. I have a turkey with a cough in one pen and a chicken with a cough in another. The chicken cough is new. I have Tylosin 100g powder but am unsure on the dose rate. I want to dose the whole flock...

What brand is the 24% you use?

I have noticed a significant drop in egg production and quality when switching to a cheaper high volume feed. Also the difference be 16% and 20% feed is noticeable in egg production and quality for not a big price difference.

What would cause chicks about 4 to 6 weeks to start loosing feathers in mass almost as if they were molting.

Thank you all for the help, as soon as I saw it I covered the area with diatomaceous earth. By the time I was able to get the bath together he was gone. I had not noticed an injury the day before and he was acting fine, I also checked the area for pulled out feathers but could not find an...

He was fine yesterday, today I found him laying in the dirt with blood near his tail. I lifted the tail and found the tail area swarming with maggots.

My hatch was supposed to be 12 eggs, I hatched 9 out of the 12. 3 fresh laid: 3 hatched 3 refrigerated for three day: 2 hatched 3 were collected 3-4 days before: 2 hatched 3 were washed the day before: 2 hatched Of those, the fresh hatched a day early, the refrigerated hatched a day late.

Set 12 eggs, 3 washed, 3 refrigerated for 3 days, 3 collected a few days before, 3 fresh out the chicken butt.

I will set 12 chicken eggs on the 13th. 3 will be cold storage for 3 days, 3 will be storage at ambient outdoor North Carolina Spring temp for 3 days, 3 will be fresh from the nest 3 will be washed but fresh from the nest.

I have used my eggs after worming for hatching. I fill the incubator up and they all hatch out fine. I have never had sick or deformed chickens from hatching while deworming.
