Anyone try the oil and kerosene painted on the wood and it work?

I have a Chick that has fluid on top of the head and under the beak(chin) area. Its about 18 hours old. It's struggling somewhat but alive and trying to move. Will the body absorb the fluid? Nothing is exposed. All feathered and otherwise the body is normal. Don't want to cull to early but...

A few weeks ago I had Coryza run through a few of my young birds. I used LA 200 injection in the leg for each that had symptoms. All recovered but I have one that moved while i was inserting the needle. The shot site has basically blown out. I’ve got her in a brooder, cleaned the wound and...

Can someone please clear this up. Before AquaSol I see many used Safeguard 10% suspension diluted in water at 3ml per gallon. I am reading traditional Safeguard is Insoluble in water and go on to read that is toxic to aquatic life...then...go on to read that AquaSol just has smaller particles...

Thank you!

Thank you for the information. What is OEBG. I am trying to stay away from small breeds at this time and am looking more at meat/egg breeds. I’ve had Oshamo’s in past and they are big enough to hang with the big breeds and mean enough to never get picked on... and highly broody. To aggressive...

Both, at the same time. Mix in water. You can add a tsp od ACV as well.

Are these 2 breeds Broody enough that I won’t need to use my incubator? I’m also interested in Brahma(spelling?). Thanks

LOL...still waiting...but I have made eye contact with the first one...how cute is that!!!!! they are so little and CUTE!. There is a small new pip on a 2nd egg...not sure on # 3 and mama bird is pecking the CRAP out of me when I come near here. I found a couple of dead grass hoppers to give...

Okay, thank you for the reply bugglesmommy. Will be waiting:). sassy

Hi, this is my first set of eggs to hatch. There are 3 under my broody O shamo mama. This morning when I checked the eggs under her we had the first pip. I rechecked the eggs after lunch and not much progress is being made. How long do the babies take to hatch? Thx! sassy

Thank you Veer 67. And what to do with non hatched eggs? Can the dogs eat them or do I need to dispose where they can not be eaten?

My hen has been on her eggs approx 21 days. No action yet. How long do i let her sit and if nothing happens what do I do with the eggs? Thanks! Sassy

Hi poodlechic, I cant upload right now..my camera is giving me fits. Look on the site, it has pics. Yes on the slury, not sure how to ferment that. The worst of the worst is actually the egg eating. They will lay an egg and then its gone. Really at breaking point with this. They are...

Well, Thanks you for letting me know Michelle. I haven't put it completely out of my mind that they may not grow back. The birds are a year old or so, their beaks are cut back right in front of the nasal passage. Its pretty far back. My questions will be if the beaks don't grow back can they...
