    To worm or not to worm?

    I have a large mixed flock of chickens, ducks, geese, and two turkeys. I'm wondering if you guys worm regularly or if you only worm when you see symptoms. I don't see symptoms other than some poops I see are sometimes runny/yellow or slightly bloody, but nobody is acting sick (other than the...

    Need Assistance with using Safeguard Aquasol

    Hello everyone. I'm just a little confused on the dosage and would like to confirm some things. Based on what I read, if my flock weighs a total of 90lbs, I need to use 0.225 mL in 8 cups of water. Does this sound correct? Also....there are 16 cups of water in a gallon. So if my math is...

    Heritage Bronze will not gain weight at the same rate Broad Breasted Bronze turkeys gain weight. If you have Heritage Bronze they will not reach full weight until they are a year old.

I do that and keep chicks, turkey poults and ducklings in the same brooder. it prevents/heal cocci and other intestinal issues. if on...

    How long can a wooden chick coop stay "infected" with anything/everything?

    The protozoal eggs can survive for years in contaminated soil/feces. Infected birds are carriers, if they survive. Chickens and turkey's should be completely separated from each other. Worm chickens monthly to end the cecal worm lifecycle which is the host for the protozoa. The protozoa is...

    Quail Behavior

    Turkey starter, 'good'.... meal worms and grit, 'bad' at this age! Turkey starter and clean water are the 2 most important things at this age. What's the brooder or the area your keeping them in look like, how is it set up? Sometimes when they hatch late they have problems, they may survive or...

    How to breed for a lighter/smaller turkey?

    My juvenile royal palms are as big as the largest wild turkeys in my area. The wild turkeys likely carry a high parasite/worm load. I suspect that nutrition and health during the poult stage has the biggest impact on their final adult size.

    How many on the go at once to sustain your consumption?

    A preventative is red cayenne pepper . I use it to help prevent blackhead in turkeys. It went up in price during covid and I skipped it all winter and part of spring. When I started again I had piles with roundworms. First time I had seen worms.
