I live in the UAE and the weather here can get as hot as 50 degrees celsius in the summer but stays around 40-45 degrees Celsius for 2 months. Can chickens survive temperatures this high?
I crush garlic cloves, 3 cloves per gallon water. This goes into my chicken's waterer. I plan on giving this to chickens throughout there entire lifespan, from birth to death. I also plan on giving them garlic powder in a 2% ratio as the website fresh eggs daily recommended. My question is, will...
My chickens outside have been infected with Infectious coryza and are all being culled as we don't have a cure for the disease. The chicks inside aren't affected by the disease and were born last Friday. I noticed today that a chick quickly spasmed it's it's almost as though it was sneezing. I...
How detrimental would a layer crumble feed be for chickens that are between 0-12 weeks old? or right until before it should be consumed. I read that it can damage the chickens liver somewhere. I'm curious to know how badly layer feed would affect younger birds. will the consequences be faced...
I have a 21 percent chick starter feed and a 19 percent finisher feed. If I mix them in a 1:1 ratio. I should get a feed that has 20 percent protein in it like most flock raiser feeds. Could I feed this to my entire flock if I wanted.
I see that some people add apple cider vinegar to feed as it ferments. Is this ok since I thought that apple cider vinegar was only to be added there water occasionally? Is it fine to have ACV in there feed permanently then?
I'll give it to my sick chick regardless. It does seem to stop other bacterial infections as you mentioned and does have vitamins. The chick seems to have the poop leaking out of its vent slowly now. I don't see it ever any bowel movements since this morning. I am applying coconut oil and am...
Will these sulfur antibiotics work. I have looked and found amprolium but it was far too expensive to purchase. I have this powder to be added to water of chickens which has vitamins and antibiotic. The full list of ingredients is here:
Will this work well?
Wyorp Rock when you mentioned salt water. Did you mean Epsom salt or another type of salt? Also if I ran out of Epsom salt is it possible to use another type of salt.
Actually, the photos do in fact make the abdomen seem larger than it is. Compared to the other chicks this one just doesn't have that much hair in its abdominal region but is the only one that had a full dark abdomen and vent so I was worried. It is still very active and not lethargic at all. I...
Will do soon hopefully, ill take a video so that I can explain how everything is going on in my chicken coop. I will release it within this week but in the meantime, I will look for sulfur antibiotics or amprolium for mu chicks as @Wyorp Rock and @Eggcessive suggested
The abdomen is not swollen, sometimes it does feel as though the poop leaks out of the vent while other times it seems as though it is having regular and proper bowel movements(like it does a squat like motion and the poop comes out). I will hopefully go looking for sulfur antibiotics and...
