I would not waste the $40. or so that they get for a kit. Go on eBay and get the small surgical spreader, a razor type cutter and a med. crochet hook or a small surgical clamp that will go over the teste and clamp down so you don't slide off of it. There are ton's of those elastic on the...
That would totally depend on the age and maturity of the bird. 3 months old they may be a fava bean size where at 6 mo. a kidney bean size. I have tried many ages and found that the recomended 6-8 weeks is far too young as they are not developed enough to see at all.
Actually I didn't even want to wait for the test results. Everyone told me that it was MG yada yada yada... I started the dead virus MG Vacine on every bird and chick. I culled and put down almost everything. Revacinated in the 2 weeks (not sure 10 days???) And symptoms continued. I continued to...
You go for it! Everyone needs to know what the ground rules are. The state told me(Florida) that this used to be a hatchery problem but they have all instituted the all in all out policy and they also vacinate for everything. Many of those vacines are not even available for the general...
With 50+ birds showing no symptoms here is a curve ball...We have been symptom free for 5 months after putting 80% down with the slightest of symptoms now out of the blue one or two birds this week and last week just fell over dead. Not one single symptom. What in the world does that???
I...
Changing up the meds or sulfa drugs for cocci is also recomended. And my question is ... are the flesh colored slightly redish stringy things in the poo an indication of Cocicidia or a normal sluffing of intestinal matter? I can get a pic tommorow if anyone has a clue.
After going litterly thru Hell after being told MG was my problem I treated chicks daily with Deneguard to 6 weeks and then 3 days a month till 6 mo. Tylan imediatly when any new symptom appeared.
Then the State recomended culling any and all sick birds. O tollarance. No other way to change the...
;)The Ivermectin will take care off all the internal worms and body mites however on a regular basis I 7dust for those red mites and WD40 the legs for the scaley mites. I don't think Ivermectin will get to those. They need to be suffocated and any oil works. The WD 40 is just handy and I can...
After brineing overnight you also want to allow the meat to rest. That is let it sit in the fridge for 2-4 days. For different brineing recipies go online with Brine for fresh processed chicken.
I researches recipies before processing my first birds and ended up doing what I do every year with Thanksgiving Turkey. I brine in water overnight with just about a 1/4 cup of salt and acouple cups of orange juice.
I have processed many Coturnex quail this way also.
