    Sick/Dying, Worms?

    Oh good. That was a big worry with me. In that case, I will slaughter them on schedule. However, I do have more hens that I will be keeping. What can I do for them as they probably have worms as well? Also, as I said I have dealt with cocci, is there any reason not to eat one with cocci?

    Sick/Dying, Worms?

    I believe my roosters have worms. I have found on here that you can give them valbazen, which I already have. However, I do not want to catch almost 100 roosters we were planning on slaughtering Saturday and orally give them valbazen. There must be another way but I could not find it. I have the...

    New 1 Year Old Hen With Twisted Neck

    Thank you for that link. I am confused because she says not to breed any that have had wry neck. This hen was injured... If she recovers should I still not breed her? I understand I am asking for opinions here but explanations would be appreciated.

    New 1 Year Old Hen With Twisted Neck

    I brought home 3 hens and a rooster today from a reputable breeder who I have worked with before. I was at his place, all hens were great and active etc. We put the hens in the cage and the rooster in the front seat. When I got home and began to unload one of the hens was not moving, Her neck...

    Chick with Wry Neck

    I got on to ask what was wrong with my chick but it sounds like this. He keeps holding his head twisted upside down... Can you save them when this happens? How? Is he in pain? What causes this?

    15 Dead So Far... Bloody Stool in 6 Week Old Chicks....

    Also, those that are given the corrid, will they then develop an immunity? I know all the roos were exposed. I am worried about the 6 day olds...

    15 Dead So Far... Bloody Stool in 6 Week Old Chicks....

    I have no where to move my chick out of the chick coop so I used just the Simple Green. The bleach fumes would be bad right? I will be heading to the co-op first thing in the morning for the corrid. Should I also treat my younger chicks who are also in the chick coop? What about the chickens in...

    15 Dead So Far... Bloody Stool in 6 Week Old Chicks....

    Wow, this definitely sounds like cocci. Today is the 4th so the co-op is closed! I am going to call my neighbor and see if he has any corrid on hand. We probably spread it with our boots going from barn where chickens are to the coop where the chicks are. Our chick coop is cleaned regularly but...

    15 Dead So Far... Bloody Stool in 6 Week Old Chicks....

    Yes, they are on medicated feed. I was trying to find non-medicated but our co-op only carries medicated. Guess I am glad now. Can it still be cocci? The smears were on the wings of some, not all of the dead chicks. They could have just brushed by the ones with the bloody stool... I thought they...

    Breaker flipped and Incubator was at 50* when checked.

    Thank you for your help. We did not increase the humidity on the others so we could get the 52 eggs. However, I think we still drowned them. For our last batch we used the dry hatch, kept the humidity between 25-35 then the last few days increased to 40-50. We had 24 hatch! We will be doing that...

    15 Dead So Far... Bloody Stool in 6 Week Old Chicks....

    We ordered 100 rooster chicks from Meyer Hatchery 6 weeks ago. We lost 2 or 3 the first few days. Since then the 102 (they sent extra) have been doing great. No problems, very healthy and happy until the morning of Tuesday the 2nd... I went out to feed and water them and found 6 dead. Some had...

    day 21 and still nothing :-(

    I know exactly what you are going through! This was our first year trying to hatch eggs and we went through this the first THREE times with NO success at all. Talk about disappointing! We switched to the dry hatch method this last time, we have an old redwood incubator, and we had chicks...

    I have an old redwood incubator with 8+ racks. We altered it so that the bottom rack does not turn. That is where they will go when they are ready to hatch. My biggest concern is the humidity. What will happen when I raise the humidity for a few days? Will that drown my other eggs?

    Darn it all, I can't remember how to edit my posts.... I wanted to change the name of the thread..

    Ok, so those eggs did not hatch. We moved the incubator into my library so we could be sure nothing bad would happen again. Then we purchased 18 americauna eggs. Temp was perfect and humidity was perfect. We could here the automatic turner working (our bedroom is above the library) and because...
