    Under weight flock

    With only giving a pea size of the horse wormer, would it be safe for my to consume their eggs? Not saying your right or wrong Chris, but it could be like dogs. The dose you give fish in fish flex(antibiotics) your give to a medium size dog

    Under weight flock

    I gave the equine ivermectin paste 1.87%. This is all great information, I will go out and give that a shot. Maybe the horse stuff didn't work. I haven't seen any bugs on them but I know I haven't looked hard and wild birds are coming in and out all the time. I am not going to rule anything...

    Hatching problem

    Would pine flakes in the brooder help straighten them out? I left the three in the incubator seeing if the heat will help them out and one of the two was still really wet
