Another vote for the ACV. I use Braggs. I give it to them in their water and never had poopie butt.

Make sure your waterer is plastic if you are using acv tho

It is plastic , and thanks for all the advice ..... How long should they take to feather out.....????

If you're really desperate to get some apple cider vinegar (which should be unfiltered/unpasteurized) you can probably get it at your local grocery store. Found mine at Walmart, made by Heinz.
Good stuff it is...smells horrid, but it works.

You can also feed your chicks fermented feed as well.

how much od the acv do yu put in the water...

 

[jessicaroo]

I put 10ml in my 64oz waterer, but if you do a search on byc, there are other variations. Feathering out can depend on the breed, but usually by 6 weeks

One of the six black Giants my son brought home was gone yesterday morning when I woke up.

I had just checked vents and cleaned his (he was a roo for sure) the night before, he was running around just fine - and dead in less than 7 hours. We buried him out back and had a call this morning from the local True Value store that they had more Australorps for us. So, down to 20...the rest are doing great and eating/drinking well...the hard-boiled egg has done the trick, but I'm headed into town to get the probiotic powder and acv - and probably more Australorps, since they're the same age. These apparently have been vaccinated for both Marvek's and coxy, so that's a plus.

The store i got my chicks from the batch after mines like 10 or 11 died so they probably had a disease????
