Tylan soluable 100g

Dose is 50mg/kg

But I have no idea how much 50mg is. I just can’t seem to find this info anywhere.

All they say is the whole lot in 50 gallons of water - a little more than I need really….

Is 50mg a tsp, half a cup… just what is this 50mg dose in measurement?

Help! @bgmathteach and @BY Bob

My two brainiacs!

Ooooo a leopard chicken

 

[Ponypoor]

Is it so ~ if one chicken has a mycoplasma symptom than all the flock is exposed but don't all display symptoms as some are more immune than others...& should all birds be treated whether showing symptoms or not anyway?

Well now that’s the question. As a prophylactic it should work, fine. But my big issue is trying to mix up less than 50gallons of meds !

And the cost is outrageous! I about had a fit when I saw the price online. Wonder what my Vet will charge me.

That is because I have not had a second to mention it.

The "Great Silkie Escape" happened Sunday afternoon.

I went out knowing I had to refill their waterer. I should have been ready for a stampede but I was not. The second I barely opened up the door Barbosa led the charge. I spun to catch him as he went between my legs and ended up knocking the door wide open in the process allowing them all out in a flash. They scattered in all directions. George was was in the midst of it in a split second. All I could do was snatch him up before he finished his rooster dance towards one of the girls. Thankfully he dances first and then hops on to breed, he was not successful. George was carried to the other coop and locked in, very unhappily I might add poor boy. The silkies are everywhere, in the creek, the stalls and sawdust pile by now. I gave in and went ahead and filled the feeder, water and raked out the coop and then proceeded to round them up. 30 minutes, I was herding cats*silkies* for 30 minutes. Barbosa, who was being called Hector at this point was the last to be wrangled.

I have since learned, refill the feeder, waterer and rake out the coop at night. They are asleep and do not rush the door.

Brats, they are brats.

Hahahahaha

I know I shouldn’t laugh but ya, I have been there!

Try wrangling 40 odd nut ball brats! That was tonight.

Ok well speaking of, I better get out there and do a complete headcount just to make sure I got all the brats in.
