We have chickens, ducks, turkeys, guineas, and a peacock. The chickens have mites, I can't see mites on anybody else but they all are in one shed. So I know the eprinex dosage for chickens is .5cc for standard fowl. Does anyone know what the dosage would be for ducks, turkeys, guineas, and a...

They are fed a organic chick grower which is 20% protein. I switched them to this about 2.5wks ago when their medicated game bird feed 30% ran out. Her poop looks normal dark green with some white

Update: She is unable to stand without falling over but she is still calling the other turkeys and alert. The other turkeys(13) are acting fine. Does anyone know how much Poly vi sol to give? I've been giving 3 drops twice a day. Anyone have any other suggestions on what to do or try...

I have a 9wk old turkey(bourbon red) that staggers and then falls over and just sits there. They are free ranging with my chickens, ducks, and guineas so I really watch for any issues and this is the first one with problems. She is not wheezy, her eyes and nose seem fine, no obvious injuries...

We have a Cochin rooster that runs/walks funny. Its almost like his hips or knees don't bend. Are Cochins prone to this type of issue or is he just a bum roo? He is a very big partridge Cochin maybe it's his size? He is not sick and does his job with the ladies but he's rough and awkward on...

Would it be ok to move two week old turkeys to a unheated shed with their ecoglow heater? The shed has a concrete floor(I will put shavings down) and is secure from predators. They are outgrowing their current box (3x5)which is in my dining room. There's 14 poults. If it's too soon to go...

Organic turkey feed vs turkey starter (medicated I think) which would you choose? The organic mill where I get my chicken and cow feed from will mix up turkey feed for me. Or I can get the feed from the local coop its 30% protein(medicated) it's either turkey or wild bird starter I can't...

Does anyone here raise meat birds? I'm trying to decide if I should get the meat birds vaccinated for mareks. I am getting rangers so we will keep them to about 12wks. I'm thinking I should but it would cut the cost down some if I didn't. My birds have marek's only one of my original flock is...

Kildare: can I ask where you had them processed at? We live just outside of Rock Springs and have 25 chickens that will need to be processed soon. Thanks, Janelle.

Thanks for the suggestions! There are currently 2 hens and one pea hen on the farm(coons got the rest). We don't have to take anything from our current chickens but we do have to take our clothes. I guess we are all carriers of this disease now so it doesn't matter if we take them or not our...

We are putting a offer in on a farm and of course the first Thing I want to do is get chicks and some ducks. So do I take my current hens with us? My original hens had mareks. I have lost all but 1 to it. As they have died I replaced them with vaccinated ones. So right now I have 1 unvaccinated...

I noticed the other day that her saddle feathers are pointy and not rounded like my other hens. She/he has also never laid a egg. I'm pretty sure that she's a he. Thanks for the suggestions on the collar I will look into it.
