Another messy and tapeworm pooie found.

Gonna have to do something about this next week. I'm going away for the weekend.hopefully the ACV and DE will prevent anyone else from getting an overload.

For tapes your need praziquantel, which is in Zimectrin Gold and EquiMAX. Both of those also have ivermectin. Neither drug is approved for laying hens.

Did they look like these?

Dr. Geezer’s Clinic:

An old doctor became very bored in retirement and decided to re-open his medical clinic. He put

a sign up outside that said: "Dr. Geezer's Clinic. Get your treatment for $500, if not cured, get back

$1,000."

Doctor "Young," who was positive that this old geezer didn't know beans about medicine, thought this would be a great

opportunity to get $1,000. So he went to Dr. Geezer's clinic.

Dr. Young: "Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth. Can you please help me?

Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in Dr. Young's mouth."

Dr. Young: Aaagh !! -- "This is Gasoline!"

Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be $500."

Dr. Young gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days figuring to recover his money.

Dr. Young: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."

Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."

Dr. Young: "Oh, no you don't, -- that is gasoline!"

Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."

Dr. Young (after having lost $1000) leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.

Dr. Young: "My eyesight has become weak --- I can hardly see anything!!!!

Dr. Geezer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that so, here's your $1000 back." (giving him a $10 bill)

Dr. Young: "But this is only $10!

Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500."


Moral of story -- Just because you're "Young" doesn't mean that you can outsmart an "old Geezer"

Remember: Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to tick us off.

Quote: I did start one, but it sort of lost momentum.

For tapes you need something with praziquantel. Many people have use Zimectrin Gold or EquiMax. Pretty sure the praziquantel dose needed for chicken tapes is 10 mg/kg, so a 5 pound chicken needs 22.72 mg of praziquantel.

Zimectrin Gold dose for a five pound bird = 5 / 2.2 x 10 / 77.5 = 0.3 ml
EquiMAX dose for a five pound bird = 5 / 2.2 x 10 / 140.3 = 0.16 ml

Bang for the buck, EquiMAX is what I would pick. Note that the amount of ivermectin in either paste is more than they should be given, but many people on BYC give it without any ill effects.

O Sally I have 4 turkey eggs under my broody and I will be getting a dozen of silkie eggs here also for the May hatch along

 

[BullChick]

What did you set for the HAL?

3 Pekin on the 18th and 12 SPR on the 19th. The Pekin are suspected clears, but I wanted to try just in case.

Eggs...

Joey, what kind of incubator do I have? I keep forgetting.

Morning Pen! Skunks are no fun! Took a pic of the seedlings the other day...

Nice. I've still got to get grafted ones planted. No damage from skunks. Did you say you have the Mexican tomato? Mine came from my friends parents. They don't do well with water at all. Bush grows crazy given water no tomatoes.

Quote: Sorry you have to deal with this, at least it was one that no one was hurt.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have an announcement to make:


Jace has hatched 5/6 fertile eggs!!!!!

The 6th one, I am not sure if it was actually fertile or not. Looked clear when candled, with a lot of fluid? Broke it open and it looked like a clear, but it had sort of a murky fluid so I dunno if that was an early quitter.

I'm counting it as such though.... All the rest were obviously clear.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @MotorcycleChick !!!!! Scary story about almost getting squished. How did you finally get the guys attention?

Ok, my lock down eggs are pipping! 1 hatched during the night and there are more than 9 pips (they lost track while counting them)! At least that is the report I got. I have not yet been home to see them!


For the May hatch along - what kind of stories on remembering the fallen are you looking for?

Happy Thursday everyone!

cause cause I am a halfwhit of late??? idk really no clue where my head is!!

this is the first time I lockeddown today and didnt set eggs upright or anything just added water and now we wait. no clue what my issue is to be honest.

No, you are not a halfwhit of late. You're tired of hatching so much.
