What about day length? Both now and as the birds reached maturity. Forage feeds are not as nutritious as complete feeds. When properly adjusted chickens will consume more water from a vertical nipple than a "pool". It is more efficient and easier for them to get the quantity they need. That is...

A good quality commercial ration with some added fats (sunflower oil perhaps) drizzled on the top will give you as good a feather condition and sheen as yöu can ask. for.

DE. It is not a question of good or bad but rather of what degree of worthless.

Amateur is the operative word here. My suggestion would be to let the pros with degrees in nutrition and years of experience help you out of the amateur stage. Feed your birds a good commercial ration according to directions forget the fermenting and organic nonsense and let them have access to...

Your problem is most likely that debris in the contaminated rainwater is not allowing the ball that closes off the water to allow water past.

These products were outlawed in the 1950s and have not been available since then.

If anyone is interested in facts - http://www.kepro.nl/catalogus/product-96.html?ref=adv&ingredient=0&animal=0&type=0&cat=4 I am surprised that this pharmaceutical is available in retail feeds.

Nope, it is a management deficiency.

The manufacturers of the upper end, industrial quality, cup drinkers offer a small floating ball that keeps water in the cup until the birds are conditioned to the idea that that is where the water comes from. They still go there after the ball is removed. They search for water and soon learn...

Cobb-Vantress, Hubbard, Aviagen, Heritage Breeders (Perdue). And I speak from some the basis of experience myself. I raise six to seven flocks of broilers a year without nearly as much trouble as many ofthe unfortunate, miss informed folks on this forum experience.

These comments are not based on facts and should be considered very poor advice. There are autoratative resources available on the internet from the primary breeders of broiler chickens.

If they came from a farm store sale of hatchery chicks they will probably grow up to look like nothing in the APA Standard. They will look like what you see in the hatchery catalog and I guess chicks don't get to name themselves.

Decreasing the use of animal protein and fats in any way is on the agenda of all animal rights activist groups. They understand that byproducts of the animal protein for human consumption is an important part of the profit picture for the industry. If the AR activists can in any way decrease...

So Dr. What do you recomend about improving the nutrional value of Purina feeds by fermenting them?

For the sake of all the birds that needlessly die from coccidiosis I wish they would term starter feed something other than "medicated". Maybe "Non Stupid"? RIP little birds.

Many experienced poultry breeders will tell you there is a lot of money in exhibition poultry They know from experience, they put it there.

Broilers is the collective term used by the meat chicken industry. It refers to the modern meat type chickens of today. Never will you hear anyone from the genetics providers refer to them as Cornish whatevers. Nor will you ever hear any one who raises these birds big time call them anything but...
