I have 16 4 month olds trying to merge them with my 3 one month old bantams, one of the bantams is a sultan the other two are silkies. I had to pull the sultan out as the silkiesnwere pecking his head to bleeding point. When I try to put him back in they keep pecking him even though his head...
perfect, next time I will have lysol wipes on hand! or natures miracle for the little accidents. the carpets came out great, was nervous about the chemicals but i think it was worth it, there were more than 50 poos on the floor he used a antimicrobal formulated for hospitals so I think that...
well I have an actual rug doctor, but i fear it is not enough to sanitize? i have a baby crawling around and I worry about salmonella. how do they sanitize?
The brooder is very big, enough for the chicks to sleep in at night, we built it and it sits outside, out of lumber and wire it has a door and bottom, it is like a big box with chicken wire. they went outside at 6 weeks, got too big for our garage.
I know nothing about this sanitation...
one of my bantams a little silkie was sick a while back, bubbly eyes crusted over. he is about 3 weeks old, anyway, nursed him back to health with antibiotics and vitamins including my daughters left over pink eye meds, anyway it seemed to work his eyes are clear, he is eating and drinking...
well not sure this is the place to post this but here goes. We have 16 three month old chickens. They free range in the day and I put them in a larger brooder at night until my husband gets off his duff to get that coop built. Well they like to currently hang out on my back porch during the...
awwww, we thought dirt would be great, it worked amazing for o ur first flock, how come? well we switched anyway to a corn litter for birds it seems more dry and absorbent , we put the water bowl high. It almost looks like our little silkie could be pulling through,
her eyes are not bubbly...
I am by no means an expert, I have posted several things on here and sometimes I get no response so if you don't get your questions directly answered try going back to old threads, I would be curious about the composting too. You sound very knowledgeable so good luck!
Okay I got Sulmet, electrolytes, and antibiotics.... now what do i do with them, the dosage is for large usage can anyone break it down, I don't want to mix the electrolytes because there is no way i can use that many gallons,,,, will read the Sulmet, going to try that first before antibiotics.
well these little guys are just in a box, heat lamp at night and dirt with water and food containers, it did get damp one day, so maybe....??? I have been keeping things clean but i will lift water up. will try the vicks. thanks so much.. this is really stressful and with five kids and all the...
2 chicks dead, cocidioisis, I think. 4 chicks left... now silkie has developed leaky bubbly eye, treated with olive leaf oil /water...picking up antibiotics, kinda freaking out because these are kids pets, i don't want something spread to my working flock, although these guys are indoors they...
two of my chicks just died the exact same way. I am suspecting cocidiosis, so I am treating for that, they sale electrolytes and vitamin mix along with a powder medication for this. It could be contagious, as it has been with my guys. I only have 4 chicks left and today one of my silkies is...
