can they get that though probotics the vitamine supplement

If your probiotics contain vitamins, don't give it while you are treating. If your probiotics are only bacteria/yeast with no added vitamins, you can continue them.

I'll repeat this. Amprolium is a thiamine (vitamin B1) blocker. It chemically mimics thiamine so the coccidia uptake the amprolium rather than thiamine and they starve.
Don't give vitamins that contain thiamine while treating.
Give vitamins with thiamine after treatment because your birds will be deficient.

I like roller coaster, but the one I just heard about is not a roller coaster in my opinion. It is just insane, and would scare me to death. 1670' high drops 1600' at 220mph followed by a series of loops that exert 10 g's on the rider.

This sounds like fun to me! Not the dying part, but the drop sounds fun! I have a season pass to Six Flags....there are some GREAT roller coasters there. I usually only take my daughter, and she rides the merry go round for 3 to 4 straight hours. No roller coasters for me...

I know, right? They aren't even 2 weeks old yet, and barely have wing feathers, but they are doing their best to fly away! They are super curious and friendly and want to stay with us, which is what is prompting them to try to get out I think. They see us leave the room and are like, "no wait, we are coming too!"

I had 3 buckets of babies in my bathroom. All different ages. The biggest ones would bucket hop. A few times every day we'd go in and put the bigger babies back in their brooder. They are now in an outside coop and it's much easier to keep track of the babies.

This morning after leaving the barn my daughter looks up at me and says, 'I think we are being followed.'
i was like 'no honey, we just gave them a bunch of watermelon, theyre all set for awhile'

well, i was wrong




they were following us
That is so funny! You have a beautiful yard!!

So at what temperature is it too hot to have a hen brood? With these temps over 100, I think I am better off breaking her. Any opinions?
It's been as high as 110 this past week and I have 3 broodys sitting on eggs. The 4th, her babies hatched 2 weeks ago. So, I have 1 silkie, 1 EE and 1 black sex link all sitting on eggs. I'm not sure any of the EE or Sex Link eggs are fertile. After 21 days, if no chicks, will the hens stop brooding? Or, do I pull some of the about to hatch eggs out of the incubator and give them to the hens?

What is this????? I want one!!!



Hello all! Wow, this thread moves fast. I was 500 posts behind just since last night. I moved the 3 week old babies outside 2 nights ago. They are doing fine!!! So this morning, I moved out the biggest of the 2 week olds. I took the ones that appears to have the most feathers. They do have a heat plate at night. It's a MUCH bigger pen, so they should be happy!! I put the newly hatched chicks in the cleaned out brooder that the 3 week olds had. Since I only had 11 chicks hatch in the last batch, I took some of the tiniest bantam chicks from last week's hatch and put them with the new babies. A couple of the new babies are already bigger than the bantam week old chicks.

I am sorry about runts dead chick. NONE of the feed stores around me carry corrid, so I"m ordering some, just in case. When I ordered day old chicks in the past, or picked them up at the feed store. I'd have at most 10 chicks. Only had 1 death of a clearly disabled chick. Now, I struggling to limit the brooders to 20 chicks each. With these numbers, I have chick deaths....and it appears simply to be that they were suffocated. I've lost 4 out of 60 chicks, over the past month. From 3 different brooders. Never saw any signs of distress. Just over crowding.

I hope everyone is enjoying any cooler weather they have, staying cool in their hotter weather and staying dry in their rainy weather. We're supposed to have a high of 86 today. It is warm, but not totally uncomfortable. It is nice in the shade. We are at about 30% humidity.
