    treating for Lice

    Thank you! I would think they almost have to have lice,,, feet look like leg mites now and some loosing feathers. Plus, I wormed them with febendazole and they aall pooped out a lot of worms. Since they have never really been cared for, I figure they must have lice also. I read where...

    Ivermectin Oral Paste vs Oral liquid for Poultry Lice

    personally in this case and because you can pick her up etc, I would get febendazole because that kills all worms, but not the lice. try panacure ( seems to be the less expensive) and just put some in her mouth that way you Know she got it. Ok, so then abut 10 days later then put your...

    Questions about PDZ Stall Refresher

    Until it got way too expensive in my area, the only thing I had on the bottom of my coop was PDZ. No flies, No odors although I do pick out poop daily. I highly suggest the granular PDZ, not the powder. Now, I only put some on top of the sand that I use in coop and run. So for on top of...

    Are there any advantages to feeding game bird chick starter over that of feeding start and grow for chickens?

    Thank you SourRoses! If feathers is the only reason, I think Ill stay with my half and half mix then which should have me a lot closer to the 20%. I would worry that they high level of protein in the game bird starter would be hard on their kidneys etc. and I cant see how it would help them...

    Is these barred rocks or cucko marans? Also are they roos or pullets?

    Ok, thanks! It may have to wait till I can get someone to help, they are not likely to hold still long enough for me to take a pic with one hand while I try to hold them with the other.

    Thanks for your reply, no they are not laying yet. look like typical teenage birds, all legs body yet to fill out. no tail feathers yet too which is also strange. I was told they were 5 months when I got them and ive had them about a month. This is my first with this breed, and everyday they...

    Are there any advantages to feeding game bird chick starter over that of feeding start and grow for chickens?

    Ive found that several people feed their younguns game bird chick starter instead of chicken start and grow feed. Im thinking that wow, the game bird feed is really high protein, in some cases 30% and isnt that a bit much for a young chicken? They seem to do well on it, but still, is there an...
