[Ruralhideaway]

Wow I'm way excited, you'd think I laid it!

A cockerel is wheezing so the vet thought give them all a little tetracycline in their water to be safe.

congrats on your new layer! the first is always exciting.
I had a couple of shell-less and thin shelled eggs from my pullets when they started laying about 3 weeks ago. I haven't had a bad shell for about a week. I think it takes a little bit for the egg laying to work out the kinks. Offer them oyster shell and don't worry about it unless it continues to happen in about a months time. I am now getting 5-6 eggs a day from 6 pullets.
I have a jumbo broiler that missed the butcher date by about 2 months. The darling has laid 2 eggs for me already, about 3 days apart. And HUGE! big eggs for a big girl, I suppose.

He's 18 weeks. I did a thread about it. My vet doesn't normally do birds so... well anyway. He does seem better. Still a bit wheezy but not like he was. No one else is sick but one other I can faintly hear breathe at night.

So I guess new layers need practice! I laughed reading of your big meatie hopefully offering up those eggs as surety to avoid the pot! Is it going to work for her?

I do not want to second guess a practicing vet just am not one to medicate that was why I was asking so many questions thought you where medicating a 15 year old bird that was still laying
