Sonoran Silkies, I bet you never saw my question to you. How long do you keep your baby chicks on the medicated feed? When do you start the turkey growth?

GREAT NEWS! The new dog passed with flying colors! I figured she might. She was at a foster parents house (they were trying to find a new home for her so she wouldn't have to be euthanized) with five other dogs, 1 rabbit, and 2 chickens. The chickens got out and 2 of the 5 dogs ran after the chickens! Naughty dogs. But did the dog that I want to adopt? Nope. She stayed put and didn't give chase. That was when I decided I would like to adopt her.
I brought her home, introduced her to the cats and chickens. She couldn't have cared less about their existence. Actually, I have a bit of a scardy dog on my hands. I had her on a leash (today was the first day ever that she has had on a collar or leash) and led her through my flock of chickens. She did great! I am happy to announce, we have officially adopted her!
This is a pic of her tonight. Her very first bath! She didn't even fight me or try to hop out of the bath. She didn't even try and bite at her collar or leash (never had a leash or collar before today). She took to walking on a leash like a fish swims in water! She is a fantastic doggy! She is a mutt, no idea what is all in her. She is beautiful and she is amazing.
Oh, I am on the hunt for a name for her. A proper name that fits her disposition and personality. She is very laid back and relaxed. She very rarely barks (I have yet to hear her do so with me). She is truly obedient. She is quick to pick up commands. She is great at taking instruction. She is not timid, but very cautious. The foster parents called her socks. But I want something much more...hmm....a name worth much more then..well...socks.
ME too , lots and lots or skeeters. A new menace around here. I have no idea wht tho.
My sweet Blue Bell! Follows me around wanting smootches!
No specific timetable. I typically use medicated feed until they are adults, but I also use it to fed adults periodically.
Happy Birthday, Mikey.. Love the tractor so far.. Please post more pics as you progress.. Will
Pastrymama, I had a lot of mosquitos here when I moved in a couple of years go.. I put in bat houses, (4), and now have almost no mosquitos at all.. It takes a while for the bats to find the home, but they will eventually.. They go south in the winter, but return with the warmer weather.. They also take care of a lot of moths that fly around at night.. They are not cheap to buy, but easy to make.. Will
Puffycheeks, Nice looking hen.. Will
Well she was isolated until the neighbor juvenile delinquents came over. She was out long enough to lay an egg in the coop. She is back in isolation again. No more sneezing or funny breathing sounds. Eyes look normal, nostrils look fine, pacing back and forth to get back with the flock so she's not lethargic. Eating and drinking fine but just in case are there any local antibiotics and what is best? Thanks
Quote: Unfortunately that may be the way to go. What do you think of me trying to start up my bator? I know it will still take at least another month to get babies if the eggs are even fertile!
Go for it Puffycheeks. Can't hurt to try.
