Folks, I have a challenge. Finally got all the girls in the convent and plan to start breeding this weekend. One of my black girls has an obvious infection near her left nostril (swollen and red). I'll post pictures as soon as they arrive at my computer, which could be a while. So for the challenge. During breeding I need the girls to be antibiotic free, so we're looking at sixty days... She doesn't appear to be in any discomfort, eats, poops, drinks and fights with the other girls like normal. Also fights for lap time. So I'm trying to gauge risk here. I want her temperament in my poults, but don't want her to suffer or needlessly endanger her life. Any and all thoughts welcome...

Newbie here, why 60 days if you don't mind me asking?

I have a capsule... I poke it with a pin and put a drop in some coconut oil and put it on the wound... the rest of the capsule I put in a quart of water and give it to them

Hello I have 6 new poults their ages are staggered from a couple days old to a week and a half.
The oldest one pecked the wing tips of the 2 closet in age to him till they were bleeding. All four wing tips. I moved him out. But now these two are pecking the new ones wing tips. can I tape the tips or would this make the pecking worse?

Blukote will slow the pecking

60 days of no antibiotics I guess for breeding?
