INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

Quote: The pieces I'm using now were the very end of the roll, on the inside, so it's curled pretty bad. Tried weighting it down to straighten it...waste of time. I could wear a glove, at least on one hand, but I can't work with gloves on, unless I'm cutting firewood, and it's darn near impossible to manipulate small cable ties with them. It'll keep 'til the weekend, when DW's able to help from the other side.

I did a quick search and could not find any information on the efficacy of oak leaves for treating parasites in livestock. What I'm afraid of is that @chicken hawk 33 will take what you said and believe it works... heck people already think this about pumpkin seeds, garlic, ACV, etc. Of course what CH should do is have routine fecals done, but I doubt that will happen, so it might be best for him to invest in the best wormer he can afford.

Chicken hawk 33, call some livestock vets and ask them for information on what people in your area are using to de-worm with. Also call some well known goat breeders and ask them. Goats get *tons* of worms, and some of those are resistant to certain wormers. You might want to go to a vets office and ask if they have a copy of the "Veterinary Parasitology Reference Manual" that you could look at. In it is very detailed information on the types of goat worms and the medications used to treat them.

It would be a great help to rotate pastures as much as possible, too, to lessen re-infestation.

My Mothers Day hatch & catch

Congrats! Where were the fish caught?

I do know how to do the salt water method. I need to do it but with this hatch I incubated in my Brinker Economy and wanted to hatch in my Farm Innovator forced air since I have super expensive polish eggs arriving any day. I will wait and calibrate after this hatch. Thanks for the welcome! Sorry bout the double posting or whatever I did. I had forgotten how to post correctly in this forum

. For your hatch and the next one.
