Great. That is good to know as well. If there is no drawback to treating the hens (meaning we can still eat the eggs) then there is no reason not to treat them. Like you said better safe than sorry.

I was able to get some Corid and put it in the only water source. There are two other pullets that are with it so hopefully that will prevent any issues with them. I have another concern however, and am curious what your thoughts are. These young birds are separated from my laying hens. There...

Yup. The Vet said she only did dogs and cats and was surprisingly unpleasant about the whole thing. Anyways, the little guy made it through the night and looks slightly more energetic after some buttermilk and apple cider vinegar. I am about to leave to the feed store to grab the corid. Thanks...

Back in December I bought my first chicks. I read this article and based on it I have four hens and one rooster. I live in the Indian Trail area and have asked all my neighbors to make sure the rooster doesn't bother them. However, I recently got into a discussion with a friend who was adamant...
