Bairo-

I bought my Valbazen from the Coop on Asheville Hwy in Knoxville a few weeks ago. It was comparable in price to what I found online: maybe a little more but not so much as to make ordering it worth it.

Questions about Oxine:

I also found the Oxine but when I read the directions it said in order for it to work as a disinfectant you MUST use the citric acid and of course an approved respirator. So I am confused about it. I don't have a problem investing in a respirator and fogging my coop but so far just normal cleaning & spraying has worked fine. I am going to get a respirator because of chancing breathing the chemicals I already use.

Any opinions on the Oxine would be appreciated.

Bairo, I have been in this chicken stuff for about eight months. I spend more and more every week. My husband was really upset when I bought the $70 valbazen until he realized he could use it on his hunting dogs. THERE IS NO WAY he is going to let me get a fogger for that oxine. Please tell me I can spray it with a regular spray can like we use for bugs. Please. If I say "Tommy, it is only l$300," I'm sure he'll kill me.

He does look like he is wearing pants & boots. Is this the one that keeps getting passed around?

Yes, but for now I'm keeping him until I can find a replacement. I opted to only buy 1 hen from the fair, glad I did.. my friend's rooster she bought hasn't eat, drank or moved since Sunday, I'm glad she took my advice on keeping him away from the others, what can I give her to give him? what do you think it is?

Thank you for the clarification.

I am just glad you mentioned it..I did not think to tell everyone they don't want the crystal additive. Thanks Stacy

My come back when DH ask how much was that I say.... "You don't want to know." I paid $90 for a doz. eggs...glad my come back worked!!

If you have a humidifier that will work perfect. It is what I use. Just a hassle to keep it filled. During the warm months when I run fans I just put my spray bottle on mist and spray in front of the fan. It does a great job! So....no need for the big pricey stuff. Most of us here have the same issues with the cost of feed raising every month and when you need something there is usually someone here who has the same problem or knows what you can do.

I always try vitamins first and a vitamin B12 shot. You can use the liquid Vit. B12 off the shelf too. Did she do the worming and de-lousing when she got him? I have lost a couple,,like Bario just did, for not apparent reason. It could have even been injured internally. Was it like this when she looked at it?

I have a little mille fluer DU that I quarantined for a month cause she started acting very lethargic. I cannot find 1 thing wrong with her. She eats and drinks like a little dainty lady. But she sleeps ALOT. When I go out at mornings or have treat she perks up to get hers then back to sleep. I tried putting her back with the flock and they pick on her so...she is by herself now again and seems to be happy as a lark.
