Thanks everyone, especially Ridgerunner for the valuable information. Now I get the gist of things ( or rather that of cocci). I think I will experiment and see what works best to help the chicks develop resistance to cocci.
Hi.
I have recently lost many of my chicks after moving them into the main flock which recently had a cocci outbreak. Would this be why they are all dying? If it is, what should I do because I can't keep them separate forever. However, it must also be noted that one ill looking chick was...
Thank You all for your timely replies. Unfortunately, she had passed on today by the time I went to the coop early in the morning. It is sad, but I suppose it's just how it is. Hopefully, this experience will help me the next time. Thank You all
Hi everyone,
My turkeys eyes have both become swollen due to fowl pox which she contacted a week ago. She is now all lethargic and not eating out drinking because she can't see anything in the first place. I would really appreciate help provided in this regard because I am all just jumpy and...
Hi everyone, I really am posting after a long time. So the results of my previous hatch was only 2 eggs out of 12, and I am slightly dissapointed. One question I would really like to be answered is that can a chick which is a few days to weeks Old be infected with fowl pox. I ask this because...
Thank you for your help. The black thing happens to be mites and I hope they haven't got the wet form. She is eating and drinking and hopefuly she will recover soon. Thanks once again
I have just uploaded it below. I hope it's good enough for diagnosis. The Black thingy just above get beak happens to be mites for which I am treating her, I am only concerned about the yellow swellings. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Hi everyone,
Thanks for coming here in the first place. My About 8 week old turkeys have Small yellow swellings on their heads. The female has many while the male had just began displaying a few. I dearly love them both and its my first time raising turkeys. I really need some help in at...
I am honestly very sorry for the 3 day late reply but I was caught up dealing with treating blackhead in my turks. They both weight app. 1.5 kg. How old do you think they might be. Once again, very sorry for the late reply.
I just candled my eggs today on day 11 because I won't be able to candle Later on day 14 . Out of my 11 eggs, all of them are thankfully developing well. Unfortunately, I noticed one had an air cell which was dislocated and the other had an air cell half the size of the egg. so I am not...
Is she going to sit in the nest where she hatched the chick or just anywhere cozy? From my Experience, the hen will teach the chicks only a fair few lessons during the first few days because she has to keep it warm regularly, but that doesn't mean she won't move around a lot with it. After a few...
I still had a bad feeling so I decided to go out and check. The chick is dead :( There was an external pip, but it didn't get any farther than that. I wish I would have checked last night. I am so sad. I tried to show my broody, and she still tried to put the egg under her. Poor mama! I picked...
