    Mareks experience needed. prelim results pg 9

    First, my thoughts are with those who are dealing with these issues. You were wondering in earlier posts about "what next" and "what did you do after culling"....I had the unfortunate experience of contracting ILT in my flock last year.

    Oreo Cookies, Lemonade, & Chocolate Brownie Orps

    I love it when the little chicks are just so tired they look like little puddles (chocolate puddles are even better!) that can barely raise their heads....then all the sudden...BOOM..."I'm up, I'm up!!!" and off they go bopping around. Very nice projects, as usual!

    Chicken and Duck Eggs in same incubator

    I was wondering if anybody had experience hatching chicken and duck eggs in the same incubator.

There are a few of us up here in Canada, but of course stock...

    Why cross black with lavender

    I was wondering why breeders choose to cross a black with a lavender bird (for example, orpingtons). Why not use a buff x lavender?

I am looking for details on how to prepare the Tylan solution (ie. how much tylan soluble powder per litre of water), and feedback on how your...
