Of course! And your questions were good ones, ones I've been looking hard at. It's disappointing to keep coming to the conclusion that it's from me tracking it in when I thought I'd been so careful. That was why I didn't use the medicated feed - I thought if they were from a good breeder...

Mine must have come from me. 1. As hatching eggs from a trusted breeder that I've never had problems with before. 2. They are not on medicated feed. I've never had an issue before and wasn't comfortable with it. Obviously I might need to do a little more research. 3. I hatched these in an...

Thanks for the responses. I've put new water out with the Albon and will keep them together for now. (I didn't really want to stress them further.)

She didn't. Wouldn't. I've actually switched vets, but the meds were from her. So since the poultry site I linked to had listed Albon 12.5% to be given .05% to a gallon, I calculated that as 1.89 ml per gallon, or .5 ml per quart. I did note that it smelled a little different before it dried and...

It's the 12.5%.

The bottle is labeled Albon, 3ccs per 10 lbs (for the goats). I've contacted my vet and am waiting to hear back to confirm the concentration. So should I assume that it is coccidiosis?

From at least one chick in the brooder, 6 days old. Last night and today. They all seem healthy, are feathering out and seem to all be eating and drinking. (Full disclosure: they are almost all solid yellow, it's hard to keep track of them when I'm observing.) Acting normal except for this. If...

I'm on the hunt for speckled sussex chicks or eggs. Anyone have a recommended breeder or a few for sale?

No, 15 is what I still have room for, so that would be the max. I'm ordering my production layers but I only really need 10 or so and I have to order 25 to get them any time soon. I figured if I gave people room to order some I wouldn't have to get so many extra for myself. You can just let me...

Do people ever coordinate hatchery orders here? I don't really need 25 Murray McMurray birds. I ordered 15 broilers to round it out, but then I realized by the time there's any pasture for them it will be freezer time, so I'm going to change the order. If anyone in the vicinity of Greene County...

Wow! I've never heard that about the turkey vultures! I wonder if that ever happens here in the mountains as well. We treat the coyote issue the same way - don't make it too easy for them, don't replace the ones who keep to themselves with new population members who might not. I would love to...

Your mention of bugs reminds me of some organic farmers who just relocated to East TN from England. When we were talking, one of them mentioned being a little unnerved by all the variety of life (specifically insect life) here. She said there weren't half so many kinds of bugs where they came...

Hi all, I posted this in East TN, but it's not very active, so I thought I'd try here. I have this British cream legbar rooster available. We normally harvest extra roos, but he was so sweet and beautiful I kept him back for breeding. Unfortunately, now I have issues from too many roos and must...

Hi all, I have this British cream legbar rooster available. We normally harvest extra roos, but he was so sweet and beautiful I kept him back for breeding. Unfortunately, now I have too many roos and must rehome him to keep my ginormous black copper marans from pouncing him. If you think he...

I have two cockerels to sell as well: a black copper marans and a British cream legbar. They are 14 weeks old and located in Greene County. Please message me for more details.

Ok - I took them out Sunday when it was actually pretty hot. Put them under a tree and stuck a box on its side in there and a big tree stump. They were so happy the whole day I was sad to bring them back in. What a change from the other times! Glad to have the reassurance from y'all so I could...

Thanks everybody! It's a big scary world out there being a newbie, too. I wait until the temps are as warm/slightly warmer than the brooder outside, so I think that part's ok. I guess I'm a serious worrywart, but I hate to think what'll happen if I don't panic and investigate every little thing.
