    Coccidia Outbreak Feedstore Closed!!!!

    I just realised that my chicks may have Coccidia. I just got home from work and three have already died. Is there anything I can do to keep from losing any more? A lot of them look ill.

    Meaties: What age do you recommend?

    I have four meaties that were born on February 26, they are getting pretty big and I was wondering, when is a good time to dust off the hatchet? Is there anything I should do to prepare them for their last weeks?

    I Caponized! ***Graphic Pics*** Not For Faint of Heart.

    I did it finally! I caponized the partridge rock packaging peanuts I received from Ideal Poultry exactly 1 month ago to the day. I had 9 peanuts and one Red Laced White Cornish that I had no idea what to do with, so I did what any rational human being would do, I knifed em'! Here are my...

    cornish cross question

    My cornish cross pullets are about 4 weeks old and I have been noticing that all of them have a swollen growth around the base of their necks. It looks like a big soft golf ball sitting on one side of the neck (on top of the wishbone) and is on every one of them. Anyone know what that is? It...

    They will be capons tomorrow... hopefully!

    Tomorrow is the day I try my capon experiment. I have 9 partridge rock roos and a red laced white cornish that are being deprived as I write and will go "under the knife"as soon as I get home from work in the morning. I'm so nervous! I let them run free around the yard yesterday as a peace...

    I got 9 partridge rock packaging peanuts with my order from Ideal Poultry a few weeks ago and I cant very well keep them as roos, so I have decided that that they will be my first attempts at caponization.

    Did I do Something Wrong?

    I had a White Rock Pullet chick die on me sometime last night, I found her this morning. I have about 25 chicks in a pen/brooder (8 x 6) with two heat lamps (100 watt bulbs) about 12 inches high and plenty of food and water to go around. The only thing I can think of is that the lights weren't...

    lots of pics: what kind of babies are these?

    Just got a shipment in from Ideal Poultry and it came with some extra roos for warmth. 9 to be exact! I don't know what to do with them, whether they are fit for caponizing at a later date or if they are pretty much worthless. If anyone could tell me what they are I would be very appreciative...

    what kind of chicks are they?

    I just got a shipment of chicks from Ideal Poultry in Texas and they sent me 9 extra males to keep the ones I bought warm. I don't have any pics yet but they are solid reddish brown and of course smaller than my Cornish X and White rocks that i actually wanted. I don't know whether to keep...
