No it is the Oxytet 500mg for Calf Scours. Corid is for Cocci.

Any thoughts on using a Calf Scour bolus? I was thinking about just dissolving it in water and putting it out for them to drink. I tried dosing everyone with the Tylan last night and it was pointless. They might have gotten a little of it but I was covered in it. I also out it out on little...

Thanks! Had a feeling that was going to be my best option.

I have a couple birds weezing and coughing. I had one die last night. My go to would have been oxytetaracycline for all of them in their water. I can't get that now. I also don't have a vet around who will work on chickens. So any suggestions for antibiotics and how to administer them to about...

Well they ate quite a bit of it. I have fed them oatmeal with black strap molasses and added ACV to their water. They all seem fine so just continuing to watch them. THanks for the links. They are book marked.

I dumped a new sack of feed on my other feed last night after dark and filled the feeders. Today I discovered it was mouldy. I scooped out what I could but that doesn't do anything for all the feed they have already eaten. Do I just wait and see what happens or should I do something for them. Is...

the ankle sock is a great idea too. :)

congrats on the new duckies. They are adorable. Love your feed and water set up. The tarp idea is great. Glad your little one made it. I have been known to stick a cold chick down the shirt between the girls. Your bag idea seems a lot better. ;)

Sally I was googling pics of silkie ducks and came across this site. Reading it made me realize I don't want silkie ducks. http://lemontheduck.com/id35.html

I can't wait to see your duckies feathered. A silkie duck might tempt me back into ducks.

Your little ducklings are cute. Can't wait to see them feathered. Going to research some on them. I need heat tolerant birds.

So far the birds are fine. All of my final reports came back and nothing really to report. I am going to clean that coop out and give those birds away. Then going to redo a couple things to try to keep the birds out. I am thinking about some layers. Also thought about some of your WFS. What size...

Hi Sally! Have you hatched your silkie ducks yet?

sorry Sally It sucks no matter how many you have done before.

Aw Sally. You have been doctoring birds too. I think you are doing all you can for the little quacker. Hope he pulls thru for you.
