Thanks Krys and Flying... I still am not sure about the sex of each bird, I remember it was something like a male of this crossed with a female of that, then take the offspring of a certain sex and cross it with the other bird of the opposite sex. My understanding was that to get it right...

Thanks Coyote!! That's great to hear it has run so long on the battery. What kind of battery is it? Do you recharge the unit, or is it like an ordinary battery.

I was thinking of breeding Cream Legbars from what I understand are the 3 species that were crossed to get the Cream Legbar: Araucana, Barred Rock, and Brown Leghorn, I remember hearing it's a female this with a male that, etc., and it's important to get it right to get the sex linking. Does...

I really need to get one. I have electricity in my coop. Does anyone know does the one from Foy's ONLY run on batteries, or can it run on electricity? or a combination of batteries/electricity. Can anyone recommend for me which one is the best to get? The space requires a guillotine type...

Anyone know the dosage for Lincomycin injectible for a hen. If you have mg/kg for Lincomycin, that would be great, or any other advice to help me figure out the dose is appreciated. My solution is 100 mg/mL pure Lincomycin. I know a lot of chicken folks also use LS - 50. So I would...

Yes it used to be readily available as Corid, but lately it seems harder to find. Get on the phone and call any large animal or farm vets, they often stock amprolium in liquid form. Then you have to dilute it to the right dosage. Other pet vets might have it but much less likely. You can...

If your chicks have blood in their poop, they have a life threatening emergency, most likely coccidiosis. You need to get some amprolium and administer it at TREATMENT dose, not preventative dose that's in the feed, it will be too late for that. Once it's at the stage of bloody poop it is a...
