It is best the earlier the better. She'll protect the chicks while they're young long enough that they're accepted into the flock.
If you wait till she weans them, she won't protect them when you introduce.

I am sorry LittleLakePhil I was unclear. When it is given for pain it can relieve the pain. In no way was I saying that because people who take it, even for years as a relief for pain are addicted. Absolutely not! Tolerance or even physical dependence is not addiction.


The issue is when pain diminishes, and the patient continues to take opiates - then they can become addicted. There is no pain to relieve but the brain craves the drug. That is why I was careful to say that people can become addicted to it due to (an episode of) shingles (see quote above).

The problem of people being prescribed opiates for longer than is necessary for post op pain, or after an injury (- ie conditions that are not terminal and usually get better), and then become addicted is HUGE. Patients are now suing their doctors for over prescribing opiates when they become users. That said it is the duty of the prescribing doctor to be diligent and NOT over prescribe these drugs, but that does not always happen.

The goose have not pipped still

Keep us updated!

So I bought a chick this morning who is showing signs of wry neck now. I'm thinking the stress of the move brought it out. Poor thing keeps turning its head to the side and walking in circles. I started vitamin e and selenium supplements already but I don't know how much to give. I haven't separated the chick because I think that would be more stress. The chick has its head normalish, not turned and upside down yet. Hopefully I can prevent it from getting that bad!? They are on good food, but I just bought them at 10:30 today. Siblings are fine, it's one out of the seven amerecuanas I bought today. PLEASE quote me if you reply so I can find the reply, the board gets busy sometimes and I can't read all the pages lol
