    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.

    Hi, Whilst Mareks isn't transmitted vertically (hen to her eggs), the dander can still be on the eggs, even if you incubate. So you need to fumigate the eggs. Commercially, they now inject the vaccine into the egg itself on Day 18 to increase efficacy. I really appreciate your article, thank...

    Australians - Where are you all????

    Odds are good that you will have waited until spring. They are late a maturer. Once they hit about 12 months, they're awesome layers. What was your result?

    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...
