Granny's gone and done it again

[cherrynberry]

Thank you. I have been wanting to test it out. I have heard people say that hatching eggs from birds dosed with safeguard can hatch with deformities, but I haven't found studies of that done with Valbazen. Been thinking about it as I am sure it will be something a lot of people are interested in.

Should I? The more I think about it, the more I want to test it out. And my dad is on board too! I just don't want any chicks with deformities. What do you guys think? I feel like it would help people too. If there's a way to use the eggs without taking risk by consuming them ourselves, it might be interesting...

sounds yummy I havent had steak in forever.

I haven't had it in a while, but my mom has been making them more since the start of quarantine. I don't mind it. None of my seeds have sprouted...yet, but I am hopeful!

Yes, do not hatch for about a month after safe guard. I would wait a week or two with valbazen but have not heard of issues with it for deformities.

You got your birds from another person? Do they have problems with worms? Are they under weight?

Some parts of the country have lots of problems with worms. It seems with our dry summers, there are fewer problems. Not sure there is a need to worm at all. You can take a stool sample to a vet have them check... called a float test.

My mom is making steak for dinner, we are going to have a late dinner today.

Sounds good!

It would make a great experiment.

No, only 7 hens are new. The rest we raised from chicks, with a "few" exceptions. Our sexlinks are from a breeder for example.

I have seen roundworms before. Everyone is at a healthy weight. The reason why I like annual deworming is purely because we seem to have issues with worms. I doubt my dad would let me do a fecal test. Maybe if I actually make my own income....but I am still too young for most actual jobs.

But I do deworm all new birds anyways, since I had an issue with new birds having worms.

Well, if you've seen roundworms it's probably a good idea. Dec is a good time to worm because egg production is slower and they usually aren't molting then.
