    Vaccinating your OWN chicks - DANGERS?

    Everyone who's has chickens for a while and farms vaccinates all they're own animals that I know. They castrate, brand, some do surgery, imagine a pregnant cow emergency? The vet is far away, the rancher learns to do cecareans. They stomach tube.....list goes on... Vaccines are on the easy list...

    Vaccinating your OWN chicks - DANGERS?

    The rule is if meds don't work in the first few days, switch them. I wish you luck. You may want to lime wash everything. I left this how to for someone else, hope it helps you. http://tinyfarmblog.com/liming-the-chickenhouse/

    Using lime in chicken runs to call infection

    I use hydrated lime the caustic kind and only empty out each corral/ barn/run of animals while I do it. My floor is dirt. I till it into the dirt then throw fresh bedding.

    We built a fountain for fresh water.

    thanks, I think it looks deeper than it is. But some bricks are not a bad idea. It's always flowing so it shouldn't need to be cleaned I don't think Some sand around it would look better lol Then again we just dug it up. Still bathe and beach what a life. :-) The chicks are six weeks today...

    I love this and so glad we did it. We install irrigation systems so it was very easy, just run pvc put a valve to slow down the flow and something to catch the water. Anything to make life easier.:lol:

    Baby goats and the runs.....I read.....
