What would be a good dewormer? All I have on hand is Safeguard goat Dewormer and I have ivermectin pour on but I’ve been looking for a good dewormer for chickens in general that is also somewhat affordable.
She hasn’t been dewormed in about 6 months so maybe it’s time and I haven’t seen any eggs from her recently so that definitely could be an issue just not positive.
I will try the epsom salt flush and see.
I’ve been using 1/4 tsp of acidified copper sulfate per gallon of water and 1 tbsp ACV as recommended for taste in another post and my hens crop is still full and feels like a water balloon, if I push on her crop she regurgitates and it still smells sour, I make new solution daily. I’m to afraid...
I'm thinking about starting a ermine Wyandotte project, what's the best way to start? I don't know much about genetics and how the ermine color works so of someone could try to explain it that would be great.
I was wondering if it’s possible to hatch chicks from hens that have been treated with ivermectin pour on?
Has anyone ever tried this before, does it affect egg fertility?
Thanks! I think I will try both ways and see what the results are.
I don’t know much about color genetics but I think it would be a good project just to see what happens, honestly the lacing probably isn’t the best to begin with since they are from hatchery stock.
I also have some nice...
I’m getting some Silver Laced Cochins from McMurray hatchery in the spring, I’m assuming they are going to be far from standard.
I was wondering if it would be better to breed them to show line white or black Cochins to improve type,
which would preserve more of the lacing if any in the offspring?
I forgot to mention the feed they were on 20% all flock when the first hen died and now I use the pictures below, I do mix layer with the start and grow to increase protein
I just asked the breeder and she said she has started having her birds die from fatty liver also so she said it was genetic most likely.
I had the first one that died sent to a lab and she was formally diagnosed with fatty liver disease and died from it rupturing, so I figured since she didn’t...
