I am leaving to go pick up my chicks in 15 minutes and I CAN'T WAIT.

I honestly thought about that. I wasn't sure how reliable the product would be though. Are they sealed? Any particular seller you get them from? Btw does anybody have a remedy for migraines? This is the fourth day in the past week I've had one coming! And I have to work 3-12 tonight

any ideas?

Hi, sorry no remedy for your migraine.

The meds I purchase are the ones that are in the exact same packaging that you see at TSC and still sealed, and I try to buy from US sellers. If you were to search corid you would find liquid and powder and both are from the same manufacturer that supplies TSC. I've never had a problem with anything I bought from ebay, but I wouldn't buy anything that looked like it was packaged and labeled in someone's living room, if you know what I mean. Take care and I hope you and your birds feel better. PS. I think the tetracycline you want would be called terramycin 200. Active Ingredient is Oxytetracycline. Oral use in chickens, turkeys, swine, cattle, sheep, etc....

Got the rest of the coop done and I found a broody light which was apparently missing, can one say it was missing if one didn't know it was missing? I think I might need to knock the dust and cob webs down a little more often than every 12 years.

We mix 1 teaspoon in 1 gallon of water and make this the only source of drinking water for 4-5 days. I've never given it directly down the throat. 

We'll see that's my dilemma. He won't drink by himself. been mixing a little water to a little baby cereal to make it thicker so he can at least have some water without me choking him

Mix up a batch and use that to make his cereal, also dribble it on anything else he will eat(bread, egg, anything ) When I mix up a gallon, I just stick it in the fridge and shake it up before use. Label it so the rest of the family doesn't drink it.

Sounds like a good idea! I bet I can mix it with his "baby food" apples and such too. I hope this works cause if not I have run out of options!

Last time we had a bad case of cocci it was a 5 week old baby Pea and I had to crop feed him. So I used the medicated water to mix up his baby bird formula, when it gets to a certain point you just do whatever you can to get it into them and cross your fingers!

Good luck, Mindy

The TSC in Raeford or the TSC on Raeford Rd?
I keep seeing the Raeford Rd one advertised, it's right on the Hoke Co line (and right around the corner from my house).
Maybe the day before Easter it will get some people out but it's normally AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most times they advertise no one ends up showing up, I don't know who does their advertising, I think random people just post.
Last week was supposed to be a big one advertised bunnies, goats, all kinds so of stuff, and it was 1 lady selling soap.
Last season when people did show up it'd only be a few & the animals were never in great shape.
You may have some luck with people trying to sell Easter animals, but in general save your time.
I'm like an hour I think from Cedar Creek flock swap & I think if I went it'd be worth the trip to go there.

Then I'll go to the one in cedar creek it's much closer.

Good morning folks

The end of the work week for me at last....next week
is spring break but I think I will be even busier than if
I was working........I'll probably need to go back to work
to rest and recover. What plans does everyone have for
Easter? I do egg hunts every day but I think I will color
some this time.

hope everyone has a good day
