Lol now I feel really silly, but to answer my own stupid question above: those are the gel packs they taped to the jug to cushion it against breakage during shipping. I had to call the company to get that information, but I did find out that I need either some Oxine activator crystals or some...
Ok so I am a little confused. I thought I had ordered a gallon of Oxine for disinfect my incubators and hatcher. What I got was this: a gallon jug marked 'Oxine Sanitizer Disinfectant' and two packets marked 'revival animal health non toxic rinse any leakage with water' with no instructions for...

I have a question about comb shrinkage. This is a pic on my Blue Splash Marans that I caponized 2 months ago. His comb and wattles shrunk down this far within the first 2wks then no more:
My records from that day say I removed both testes intact and he has stopped all of the rooish behavior...
