    Stupid waterer keeps leaking all over the floor of my coop!

    I've tried everything at this point. I just tried the nipples but they just don't dose enough water. My birds start to shut down and not eat after a day or so and go crazy when I add a bowl of water. They are using the nipple but only get one drop at a time which is not enough for a full grown...

    Single Hatch, different breeds

    I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for marking chicks when hatching different breeds. I am hatching out about 4-5 different types of Americans, which as chicks can be difficult to distinguish. I have marked the eggs but we all know how that works, you look into the incubator in the...

    Which Antibiotic?

    There seems to be quite a selection of possible injectable antibiotics available over the counter. The question is which one for general use? I am using Oxytetracyline 200 for any signs of respiratory disease, or for any signs of infection from dubbing or bumblefoot surgery. Should I be using...

    How do breeders keep track of thier flock?

    The best and easiest method is to wing band or leg band. Then keep a register of the parents and crosses.

    An article to back up "naysayers" of releasing pen-raised Bobwhites

    I guess releasing pen raised animals for re-establishing wild populations doesn't work. Wolves, Condors, Whooping Cranes, Eastern Turkeys, PA Elk, Whitetail Deer, all just flukes. Habitat improvement for Quail is the number one priority, no doubt. But what is this writer suggesting? I...

    Mareks experience needed. prelim results pg 9

    Quote: Generally some of the birds exposed live. You keep breeding from the birds that do not show the effects of the virus......or you get a strain of the breed you have that is already resistant to Mareks. In my case I had to get a new strain of Silkies, but the other breeds I had developed...

    Quote: "Pure" (which with Americans is just a catch term) Grey Hens will not have red chests, they can have some brown but typically not a full brown/red chest, check out RT website under gallery: www.rockytopgamefarm.com/id28.htm

    How to shoot a trapped animal?

    Quote: .22 Hollow Point to the head, no fancy way to do it. All animals are going to flop around a bit but they are dead on impact. I have a lot of vultures around my place and they appreciate the free meal, plus they clean things up in a couple of hours.

    Not Happy with Zip Bands

    Well I ordered JIFFY Bands from National Tag and instead Zip Bands showed up. I figured what the heck I would give them a try as I waited three weeks for them to show up. These are the ones that you have to manually pierce through the wing and then press the rivet closed with the special...

    Wazine per bird?

    Quote: The search function only yields how much to use for a smaller number of birds, not how much to directly dose 1 bird. Dispensing this amount over the course of 24 hours is not nearly as harsh as administering it all at once. Which is why I was curious if anyone has done this and how...

    Wazine per bird?

    I've been told to use Valbozene as a better all around wormer. So I am not sure if anyone else has some experience with this.

    Wazine per bird?

    I've searched and don't see a definitive answer on this. I want to de-worm my stags without giving it to my hens (eggs). I want to give it to them in one shot, down the gullet, diluted with water. If my calculations are correct, 2 oz per 100 birds would equal .59 ml/cc per bird. Thinking...

    Quote: I learned my lesson with Cackle. If you are looking for yard birds that are called "Game" they would be great. If you are looking for true representatives of the breed look to a breeder of Americans. What were your Cackle OEGs like? Did their conformation/coloration not look near as...
