Carcinogen Schmarcinogen! I've got show birds, what do I care? I wonder what level of dosing the birds (or mice) had to go through in order to develop cancer from it and here I only have to give it once or twice in their lifetime.
My broilers seem immune to coccidia. EVERY SINGLE CHICK I RAISE ON THIS PROPERTY COMES DOWN WITH CRYPTO AS SOON AS I PUT THEM OUTSIDE IN A TRACTOR except for my broilers. I keep waiting but they just haven't gotten it. I think they ate it, just like they eat everything else. I think that the coccidia are no match for their overactive digestive systems, I think that they are such eating machines that they simply digest the coccidia along with everything else.

Thank you for the links and info.

thats a bummer on the issues you have to deal with everytime, must make you not want to send them out!
After awhile, you just make it a habit to know what the very early signs are. That and I get so tired of the stink in my laundry room that I just can't wait to get them out of the house!
I'm using the info that you gave us on watching the drawing back of blood vessels at the pointy end of the egg as an indication of embryo health. I'm doing a little experiment. I have a very small hatch going- 8 eggs. I have marked, at day 19, the eggs which had a space at the bottom and the eggs which didn't. Today is day 21 and so far, I had one that had a huge drawback and it just didn't look right at the air cell, so I opened it up and it was a wet, wet, swimming chick. It was malpositioned and hadn't sucked up nearly any of the yolk. It was another silkie and I'm thinking that maybe (after reading that chart of nutrient deficiencies) that my birds could use a supplement with Vita E and selenium and maybe B12.
Anyway, I'll let you know which eggs hatch better, the ones with good drawback or the ones with none to little.

Got the wrong end pipped out and wow, he's big! Most of the Muscovies have been in the 50-54 gram range, this one is 67 grams! Umbilicus is big, red and angry looking, so I might give him a little Baytril.

The funny air sack one pipped yesterday, hasn't made any progress, but still has lots of veins. I fear this one might not make it.
