You won't get bashed by me......the old time medications they used in chick feed could hurt ducks, but it's a falsehood that just won't die that the amprolium will hurt them.
It was only a few months ago that I lost all my ducklings after feeding medicated starter. I switched to...
Is there any way you could ask admin for a main category titled Canadians under the buy sell category? Do one sub category for buy, one for sell, and one for breeder listings. That would clean it up a bundle.
Yeah, I know, but with the ILT this spring we also lost my daughter's 4H quad so I was hoping to replace them before winter hit. I'm not really expecting much luck, but thought it was worth a shot.
Because I just had my entire flock put down because of ILT and the only affected pen (out of 6 pens) was the one with the Ideal chicks. 6 others in the pen but all were hatched at home here so they were safe (it doesn't pass through the egg). I'm trying to figure out where it came from so I can...
Crap. I had another die this evening. Did another necropsy and this time the trachea was filled with blood. I'll be making the phone call tomorrow morning.
We had isolated these ones for weeks before putting them in the barn. They've been here for almost 10 weeks now. ILT incubation is far less than that so I don't think they'd have brought it from the hatchery. I never suspected wild birds, but why the little ones? None of the others are even...
All my hatchery chicks are sick or dying. They're 10 weeks old now. I've lost a bunch of them and of the ones that are alive, half are sick. They have crusty eyes to the point of them sealing shut. They have a little bit of a runny nose too, but not overly runny. Some are gasping for breath...
I just separated my hens from the other roosters to their own breed. How long will it take for them to be cleaned out, so to speak, of the sperm from the other roosters?

I heard both good and bad reports. The biggest complaint is that you don't always get what you ordered, or as many as you ordered. And he can be a pain to get your money back on the ones you didn't get.
I ordered from Ideal hatchery in Texas because, even counting the paperwork cost...
Are these both boys? Or is the little one a girl? They're about 12 weeks old now.
I'm pretty sure this is a boy. He's got the saddle feathers and coloring.
This is the questionable one. It's the same age, but due to splay leg at birth didn't grow as well at first and is catching up now. The...
