I'm very interested in this question. My chickens and geese free range my yard in day and are shut in barn at night. Fire ants are a major problem here in South Carolina. I just hate the things. Have been afraid to use AMDRO where flock grazes. Locking them up for 24 hrs. poses a...
Coccidia in 2 week old chicks. I have 13 chicks. They have liquid brown poop. Otherwise very healthy. Wondering if I should treat for coccidia. They were on medicated feed 1st. Now on grower starter. TSC has powered Corid for bovine. Need directions for small amount of chicks.
How many...
Only the powder is available at Tractor Supply. Directions are for bovine. How to convert to chicks?? I only have 13 chicks to treat. How many table spoons to quart??
I spent my monthly check buying the goslings plus a 20 pound bag of 20% starter (I have chicks also). Is there a way to keep them healthy til next month? Cat food? ? Thanks
I ordered a pair of goslings from Metzer. Attempt to incubate shipped eggs was failure. So excited for the pair arriving. What should I feed them? Have chick starter unmedicated. Thanks
Thanks for your reply. They're hanging in there so far. Tried to post photo but no luck. They're dark with tiny feathered legs. The size of little bantams. Good luck with your chicks.
Thanks for the replies. Out of 8 shipped eggs I have only 2 that hatched yesterday. They are adorable dark chicks. Both are black with a touch of white. The legs are feathered. I'm trying to post photo but am having trouble posting pic to this forum.
This is emergency! ! Lost the only 2 that hatched last try on transfer. Now have two blacks in same situation. Perhaps it's shipped eggs not good idea for me. I am so sad. First, lost light and larger dark last time..this time 2 darks..
I dare not take them from incubator. Last time...
Hi. Been incubating 8 Hedemora eggs in Brinsea Mini Advanced. Out of 8 only 2 have hatched. Candled the eggs and these were the only 2 that appeared viable. I hate to be correct. Was praying for more. This is 2nd attempt with this breeders shipped eggs. Last time out of mixed fancy breed...
I am incubating 3 Sebastopol goose eggs. Day 9 candled. Am afraid 2 are infertile. Only 1 shows possible life. Very disappointed.
Have read different recommendations for temperature and humidity. Advice please......thanks
I am incubating goose eggs in mini eco. The temperature is 99.5. Is this too high for Sebastopol goose eggs. The temperature is difficult to adjust in this incubator. Will the higher temperature damage the eggs?
I also keep my parrots separate from the chickens. The parrots have cages inside. Chicken coop is outside. I am careful to wash my hands after handling chickens.
Trying again after tragic loss of my entire incubation last attempt. Have 3 Sebastopol goose eggs in Manuel turn mini eco,7 Hedemora chicken eggs in mini advance II. Keeping my fingers crossed for better luck this time.
