I am willing to drive!..Are you near Keenesville...?

Hmm. I could not find Keenesville on google, but there's a Keeseville. Is that where you mean? I'm almost two hours from there.

Maybe we can meet somewhere in between. I'll let you know more when I candle those eggs that girl is sitting on in a week or so.. assuming she's still there!

oops, right spelled that wrong! keeseville it is!...I am 2 hrs 20 mins from you. I thought I googled it and I was just over 3 hrs from Keenesville...I have to decide if I want eggs or chicks from her. Do you know is that near Clarkson College?

I know that TSC carries some of these products -- Ivomec & Wazine, I think. Countrymax has Diatomaceous Earth. We use the Organic one.... And I totally forgot that we do till I did a search for worming.

Anyone have more experience with this than I do, because I have none?? Please jump in & correct me if I'm wrong!

Allow me to but in? TSC has Exprinex you administer it just like Frontline for dogs and cats. There is no egg withdrawl either. Wazine has an egg withdrawl for about a month. Bogus IMO. Exprinex is $42 a bottle but worth it.

It's for cattle but can be used on chicken too. I'm not exactly sure of the dosage but you can get the syringe at TSC too. You just don't use a needle. It will last a while when used on chickens. I think it half/ .5 cc. for LF and .25 for bantams. You just put it between their shoulder blades just like you would the flea stuff on your dog. Right on the skin.

Thanks a bunch!! I'll get some tomorrow! How often do you worm if you do?

I asked Ray for a brooder box....what he made for me is AMAZING....at least in my mind. It has a divider in the middle and a framed chicken wire top that lifts off . The only flaw the chicks found was the dividing wall is just short enough that the smallest chick can fly up and sit on the wall (with it's head ducked down). I pushed something up against it dividing wall to keep the chick on the side with food and water.

Some day I have to learn how to post pictures on here. I am sooo totally impressed with what he built. And ladies? He built it the same day I asked for it. How's THAT for love?
