    Gumboro and Newcastle inoculations. Can I do it in one go as a cocktail?

    Thank Thank you for the reply. I googled Hipra in Spain, and the brochure was very unclear. Fortunately I found something else on the web. But hey, 0.03ml per chick in the eye...difficult to control that. I'll definitely not make a cocktail. Was warned against that.

    Gumboro and Newcastle inoculations. Can I do it in one go as a cocktail?

    I have 42 Orpington Buffs on my yard. It is time to vaccinate them. I bought the vaccine yesterday, what was available. Just Gumboro and Newcastle. Mareks was never heard of here. This is Mozambique after all. Dark Africa. Can I prepare a cocktail and vaccinate them in one go? Regards from...

    Lame chick! (This is NOT about a local girl)

    Dear Goosemum Thank you for the response. We have a plan to disinfect the water on the morrow. I'm of opinion that it is from the water. The bird is still alive thanks to the Scott. Regards Jan Aucamp

    Dear Penny We live in the backwater of world in one of the poorest countries (Mozambique) where lice really is a problem and yet I found a local vet who sells a powder that we know as Carbadust. I use it on the chickens, chicks, my dogs and if needed on my Moluccan cockatoo. It works and is...

    Introduction

    Hi Allen, welcome Mate. You are so far away from us here in Mozambique in Africa. Extended family, we are. We're trying to raise a flock of Buff Orpingtons. Very low hatchling rate due to the smuggling route and other variables. We wish you just success and blessings from Dark Africa. Jan &...

    Hi from rural Mozambique, Africa

    Dear Extended Family We decided to switch off the life support this morning. Eleven more eggs ditched. There were 30. Too many odds and variables beyond our control. My friend and colleague is in South Africa where this are a whole lot different from Mozambique. Maybe smuggle a few more eggs...

    Hi from rural Mozambique, Africa

    Hi Dear Chocolate Mouse Thank you for really good advice. Those indeed are brilliant sources of protein. Indeed. We should be moving to a large farm shortly where things would be a whole lot different from where we are now. We live in a stinking, dirty, noisy backwater town. Generally people...

    Hi from rural Mozambique, Africa

    Hi Meg The total hatch: 4. 13.4% success. Having had to deal with variables way beyond our control, 4 out of 30 is actually not bad. I switched off the life support this morning and ditched the remaining 11 eggs. Three had dead embryos inside while the other 8 were halfway there. What a shame...
