@Fancychooklady I was just wondering if you had any advice on what wormer to use/how often etc...?

Oh wow Fancy! You guys definitely don't need any more rain. Please please send it up this way!! Like Satay, desperately need some precipitation!

Well the sun came out and all looked good but now we have driving rain again.
Had just enough time to hay the horses and cows, feed the chickens and now I'm inside by the fire , think I'll do the ironing.

I use panacur goat wormer and rotate to a levamisole just so the little buggers don't become complacent . It's convenient for me to use panacur because I already have it on hand for the goats, and it wouldn't be cost effective unless you had 50 chickens to worm.The levamisole treats more than just round worm , and it is dosed in the water and has no egg withholding period.
I worm mine 3 -4 times a year , always twice 10 days apart to catch any hatching eggs.

Hope the hatch continues well for you Satay, and glad to hear the water levels are dropping Lisa.

Looked like you could add 'ski resort' to your resume for a while there.

Hi, it is also raining lots here too. I just found out my incubator is still in Sydney 3 days after I ordered it. I got the tracking number 3 days ago so I am hoping that AP is just slack with updating tracking information.

Hello everyone.

Welcome to all the newbies.

Ok I need some ideas of to what kind chickens these day olds are. They are a mix of black with a white chest and bottom and yellow feet ( brown egg) and a pure black chicks (brown egg).. I am only asking cause I sort of blurted out that I would take a few chicks from the kinder after seeing one hatch!! Besides clearly having issues with saying no to chicks and I will provide pics later. What's the likelyhood mix ?
