    Egg withdrawal time for Trimeth Sulfa?

    Probably too late to be useful, but I just found a 2021 study suggesting 43 days (!) for this combination. Clicking on the open manuscript to read the details I must admit I'm not sure exactly what the FDA tolerance entails. And the summary notes this is likely pretty conservative. Egg...

    Withdrawal times after treatment with sulfa based antibiotics?

    Interesting, and as good as google is, it's nice to review the primary sources. I didn't save the links but there was one mid to late 20-teens that was a precis that FARAD put out. Noted most commonly requested medication information and the trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was in the top 10, and...

    Withdrawal times after treatment with sulfa based antibiotics?

    Zombie thread revival, but I happened to run across this thread and this new article from 2021. This suggests 43 days withdrawal. Ouch. If you click the link for open source manuscript the methodology can be reviewed. That said, the FDA calculations are opaque to me and the authors do note...

    Who’s My Roo?

    My first guess is Qwen is John if only because the comb and waddles seem awfully big and prominent for a pullet that (IIRC) was 3.5 months (though months is a little vague vs. weeks). As for crowing hens, well I had a pet leghorn in high school--our psychology teacher seemed to think it was...

    Can anyone help me pleaseee😭.. still my 8 week old chicks are eating HUMAN HAIR!!!🤯

    I have no idea, but mine are 9 weeks (10 tomorrow) and for the last couple weeks a couple of them love to pick at my hair (still attached to my head) when sitting on my shoulders. They aren't pulling it or swallowing it at least, and I do discourage it. The answer for me would be to stop...

    Gender of California Greys

    Can you repost the photo? California Greys are supposedly gender selectable at hatch. I'd ordered pullets only and kind of wish I'd gotten one boy just to compare. But I wouldn't have been able to keep him. I have seen one post (and ran across yours trying to find it again) where someone...

    Too many chicks for coop

    Check facebook to see if there are any local area chicken swaps or groups. I'd ordered too many (my desired breed is pretty much only from limited hatcheries and the minimum order was 15). I found enough friends and acquaintances to get the extras but did post on my local area pages and knew...

    Odd wing feather development

    She is pretty!

    Tiny wings

    Wow! Still a big difference! Mine are 6 weeks now and 'Wingnut' is now fully caught up to the point HER (nothing to think she is a boy at this point) tail feathers are the longest. She is also now the second biggest of the group of 5 I have. Not a great detail picture, but you can see she...

    California Greys???

    As far as I know they should be as good as most any other. They were derived in part from Leghorns and have and the body type/combs that should do well. Mine are just six weeks old and the weather here is warm, but not extreme. They seem to be thriving since going outside a few days ago...

    California Greys???

    Well, fun to revisit this thread. And resurrect it I suppose. I posted on page 2 in 2012 :D. I'd found out about the California Grey specifically due to a family connection. James Dryden is a direct ancestor (once I figured out the family tree), and now that I was FINALLY in a position to...

    No feathers at 4 weeks

    This was as good a shot as I have...only side by sides when they are in the pen. It's a little more obvious Wingnut is less feathered in when looking from the side. I grabbed this shot right before cleaning out the pen (hence the big netting down). Wingnut is the one all the way to the left...

    No feathers at 4 weeks

    Wow, that's bizarre. Did you tell the hatchery? They might give you a credit, and more importantly do some more work with their flock! Oddly enough I ran across an interesting post with a chicken that had a mutation for no scales/feathers. So bizarre. 'Scaleless phenotype' brings up a lot...

    California whites roos or pullets?

    What did you end up having?

    Does anyone have pictures of Amberlink and Leghorn chicks to compare and play guess the breed?

    Well, I ended up giving them all to my vet's tech who raises chickens. She had a broody hen and I gave her four of the Privett babies (two Easter Eggers and two California Greys) plus all 5 of the mystery chicks. She has a wonderful set up and the four littles got a real mom! She sent me a...
