think he's around 3-5. so he should be right in his guardian prime!!

which is perfect for us. we have a pup, we are going to use also, and he is about to have a great teacher.

So I have come to the tough decision to cull several of my flock.  Some of you know that I came home from Florida and found my best Ameraucana pullet with her eye swollen shut and matted with goop and feathers.  She has had 5 days of Tylan IM and 6 days of oral Oxytetracycline.  She is much better, but still has a slightly runny eye.  I think my Ameraucana boy may have it too, but I can't catch him.  His beard looks ratty and I think I saw bubbles in the corner of 1 eye.

It's getting closer to the time I'm leaving again, and cannot separate them out while I am gone, (1 run, 1 coop, chickens are on their own for 4 days.) 

Thinking rationally, I should cull the Wheatens that show symptoms, cull the other Wheaten pullet with wry tail that I won't breed, and cull the random EE cockerel that was supposed to be an 'Americana pullet".  If I cull now, then I can observe for symptoms in the other 8 for the next few months until I set eggs for incubation in the spring. Come to think of it, I'll also probably need to cull my back-up Orloff cockerel if he starts breeding, since the ratio will end up 2 boys to 6 girls.

Sounds like a plan, but I am such a wimp (as BYC knows) and I start crying when I think about it.  Won't stop me from going through with it though.  ​Feeling bummed.

. I am sorry Friday!!!! That sucks, but you have to do what is best for the flock.

I'm sorry. That's no fun. Make sure you check and see how long it takes for the medicine to get out of the one hens system if you plan to consume your culls. I seem to remember tylan having a fairly long withholding period.

I thought withholding period is 2 weeks???
