    Safeguard wormer egg withdrawal

    After reading all the posts on deworming, I’ve decided to go with Safeguard liquid for goats. I know there is a 14 day egg withdrawal after the last dose, but what about the eggs laid the first couple days of worming? Have they developed enough so the wormer won’t affect them?

    Wazine or Safeguard for worms? What about pigeons and ducks?

    After reading all the threads on roundworms, I’m going with the Safeguard. My question is, should you discard the eggs laid during the first couple of days of treatment?

    The best feeder for Scratch and Peck!

    Would this feeder work with fermented feed? Where did you get it?

    The Colonel

    This is the Colonel! He is 10 weeks old, and the sweetest thing. Not sure if he's what the standard calls for, but love him to death

    Best way to ferment my feed

    apron

    I just finished my coop, and we did the apron. It starts about 12" up inside the walls, 4" under dirt, and 18" out from the whole coop and run. Now I'm laying two rows of patio blocks on top of that.

    Apple cider vinegar or RopaPoultry Oregano oil?

    I have been reading great things about both Apple cider vinegar and the RopaPoultry Oregano oil. Would it be ok to use both? I have a 3 gallon waterer in the coop and a 5 gallon in the run. I could put ACV in one, Ropa in the other. Or should I just stick with one? My chicks are 6 weeks old...

    Overhead lighting

    I am in the process of having a coop built. It is 12x10, with 8' walls. I had electric run to it, and not sure what type of overhead light to use. I would like to go with a cute pendulum light fixture. Would the chickens be tempted to try to fly up and roost on it? The lighting would be more...

    hatchery chicks?

    I ordered my chicks through Mypetchicken.com. The shipping zip code was out of Ohio, so they are a middleman? Ordered 10, and all arrived overnight and healthy. I've had them a week today and they are doing great. My order was Buff Opringer, Golden Laced Wyandotte, Speckled Sussex and Dominques.
