And I plan on getting more hens, I bought the 3 ee's as day olds unsexed and this is what we ended up with. Planning on introducing more to the flock soon
I have 3 ee's and 3 guinea fowl. 2 of the 3 ee's are Roos and my guineas decided yesterday to have a hate on for one of the Roos. I literally can not let him out of the coop or they attack him!!! All are free range so I feel awful that he can't come out, but I don't want him getting hurt :( any...
would tetracycline help with MG?? My entire flock is sick and I lost a rooster the other day. All sneezing and coughing. Swollen eyes and I've been treating with tetracycline for a few days now!!! Any advice or help would be appreciated. We have no vets in the area :/
my flock had a couple girls that started sneezing/coughing. I treated the flock with tetracycline and I just found one of my Roos dead. All of them are now sneezing. What is causing this??? I have not introduced any new birds, not visited any other poultry! I have another coop with guineas, 3...

i just brought home 4 pullets (approx 8weeks old) and one of them is sneezing (actually had mucous come out with a sneeze) and she's pretty lethargic. I have kept these 4 away from my flock but don't know if tetracycline is what I should be using?
I am in Canada if that makes a difference, we...
I don't have their coop set up yet, and wanted to get all my ducks in a row before we get them.
Thank tou all for the input and advice. I will be raising them just like the layer chickens then! :)
And wish me luck at the beginning of May.
so I've read that with meat birds you give light for almost all 24 hrs out of the day to promote eating and growth. But they get processed at 7-9 weeks of age.
I don't think I'm comfortable going to such 'extremes'. Can you raise them like normal chickens (dawn to dusk and then coop)? If so...
