Also it's not the amount thats your flock that should determine if you should use the preventive treatment or not...it's the fact that your having an issue.. You could have just one chicken in your flock but if it's got CRD then there's a problem that should be or needs some treatment.
This is...
If your afraid to use it on a preventive bases then perhaps your best bet is to just use the 16cc when there is an out break.
I'm sure with the many outbreaks you have already had is causing a lot of stress on your Silkie, using the preventive solution would reduce that but you would need to...
uh
The longer its used the more affective it is, I would not recommend using TYLAN with it but why would you? If the denagard works why would you need too.
IF you have a flare up, then you need to Double it. go from 8cc per gallon to 16cc per gallon for your monthly preventive only put 8cc per gallon. It's very affective, works within about 2 to 3 days. Treatment should be giving for 7 days though. It's a long lasting protection for any...
Do it every month. Set your clock like treat them the 1st day up to 7 days then not again until next month. It's easier to remember that way. It's has proven to protect them with the continued use of it and it's actually spelled denagard. No U in it.

$50.00?? are you kidding me? sorry to say that rooster has a LOT of defaults, its definitely NOT worth $50.00. Hell for $50.00 I can get you a better silkie with Just as many defaults. LOL, I wouldn't do that to you but I'm just saying.
He's not worth that price... Just to start off the...
First of all my frost bitting rooster, had the frost bite BEFORE i got him.
and your LINK states: wind chill factor Again, it's a problem definitely one issue.
I agree, don't force them, because once they go, OMG, they are in it for a long term. And yes first timers usually don't have it down but after that, OMG, I had one that stays on eggs for 2 1/2 months so I hatched babies out for her. she wasn't the best sitter but she surely tried.
