    Cobalt in wormer. Is it safe?

    Thanks Eggcessive, I'm in Australia and I don't think we have those products here. We do have tapeworm - I've seen it!! We also have a very high resistance to any of the 'azole family. If we use it here, it has to be in 5-7 consecutive days.

    Cobalt in wormer. Is it safe?

    Cobalt in wormer?? Hi everyone.I need some advice.

    Need to fatten up skinny hen

    Cooking is great but it does change nutritional value- each grain is different but if they're getting everything they need from their prepared feeds, it's a good way to go. Fermenting and/ or sprouting grain is less work and apparently they get more of every thing that grain has to offer and eat...

    Linebreeding an extremely rare breed flock

    I've seen people explain how they have done this with chickens but got a little twisted up trying to work out kinship coefficients. I've managed to draw a diagram of everything you've said so far here. What happens next? Talking chickens, not plants!
