Marans are popping out everywhere. I can hardly see in the bator now. Will get pics when I transfer to brooder later.

Ok - I may be starting up a topic that has been discussed over and over again, but does anyone worm with Avitrol Plus tablets?

I have used the syrup as a once a year for tapeworm , but I find this levamisole powder easier to administer .

Okay so took a look and that is Wayyyyyyy too deep for me LOL  Does an australorp fit into that catagory?

Genetics do my head in. CB breeds australorp , might be best to ask her. As far as I know australorp wouldn't fall into the category of hybrid. But then I must admit it is one breed that I have had nothing to do with.

What are people experiences with the best time & the easiest time to sell excess chicks/older chicks/young pullets. I absolutely have to move most of mine on before anyone crows, but I'm torn with waiting until they feather out so I can see which are roosters & which feathering I like most. They are so gorgeous but my four hens are driving me nuts with their pre-dawn cackling. I've started seeing flashes of roast chicken through exhausted morning eyes. The thought of 10 doing that is, hmm...

Thanks Fancy. I know on the bottle of the Avitrol tabs not to use on food producing animals - what would the withholding period be?

You can sell them on anytime. I find it easier to sell them when you can tell the sex but some people will buy them unsexed.

The little one at the front has her beak pushed up against the side of the bator .
