[Miss Lydia]

I’d like to see that one your working on about the drake prolapse put in the sticky’s K

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet or not, but how about one to get newbies started. Something with suggestions on type of food, waterers, feed dishes, heat source, brooder, etc.

I feel like this one is pretty good for that already...

That is pretty good except it has some misinformation about medicated feed and angel wing.

 

[Miss Lydia]

I’d be real surprised if you’ll ever change minds about medicated feed. @casportpony it’s just one of those things that gets stuck.

medicated chick feed is the devil.

Or its okay for them i cant remember

 

[Miss Lydia]

It’s okay now but it wasn’t at one time because of the medication they used the meds they use now are safe for waterfowl.

Some people think it's the devil, lol, but feed medicated with amprolium and/or bacitracin is perfectly safe.

Yeah, gonna be hard to unstick that. People just refuse to look at it logically and do a little research.
