What do you use ? ??
These guys seem to be eating food only. . . .
I use Neomycin treated absorbant board from Cutler's supply. will send you a pm and explain how I do my chicks. Don
your babies should never get sick like that...if you have a proper clean brooder, etc...and as far as any thing else is concerned I use sand. It is non-flammable, and soaks up the heat from the infrared..the babies need sand anyways and it is easy to clean.
I use a small plastic bucket with drilled tiny holes in it to sift poopies out
But really when the brooder has that many poopies in it, it needs to be cleaned, so I get my 5 gallon bucket and child's sand shovel out and clean up the poopy sand, cart it to the compost, dump.
Then I add new, clean sand.
When they are older, like 2 months or so, I use shavings...and even newborns I have never had babies eat shavings and die....I use an 50 X 50 mix of red cedar and white curls...which Illia and I both have great access to being here on the coast of WA.
Red cedar repells bugs, and white cedar repells bugs and both smell so good and absorp so much liquid and such.
Excellent baby bedding, or for grown chickens.
If your babies are infested with coccidiosis, then give them Corrid in their water...so what is the antibiotic panel for ???????????
Does the germs stick to the panel or does the antibiotic soak into their feet ?
I really am interested in how it works ?
Not meaning to be uppity..just seriously curious..
He just needs that extra "manly" aura about him, that extra chest and slightly upright posture. . .
