Wooo, that's some scary stuff.

1. They're some type of round worm, and they came out of your hens intestine.
2. Yes, you've already dosed them. Wait 10 days and dose them again, but don't use anything other than the Eprinex. Too much wormer can actually do more harm than good.
3. The bleeding could be normal (stress, the worms, etc..) or it could be the cocci (which you are treating with Corid?). I think you should continue to with the Corid treatment until the end of that treatment before you try something else. Once your Corid treatment and the LS-50 treatment is over, try adding some pro-biotics to your feeding regiment to help build up the good gut bacteria.
4. Yes, it could be. I think if you give them enough time they will recover.

I have been told to lay a chick in your hand let it relax and then watch the legs. Both legs out was one sex and only one leg out was the other. Well I knew I had one sex and tested it..............They were 50 %.

I don't believe it either, but sometimes I wonder... as I tend to seem to hatch more cockerels in the late spring/summer than any other time. It could also be that I'm working with a limited number of eggs in each hatch.

Actually, the only difference between the two incubators i have is that one has the automatic thermostat and the other is a wafer type. Wonder if that would be such a big deal....

Pffttt....I think you are next years P.O.O.P.S entertainment!

****someone take note!!

Honestly, though, I'd be happy to, although I'm more of a children's entertainer. I brought my magic tricks and juggling bag to this last poops in case it was needed, but it looked to me like everyone had the entertainment well-in-hand. The kids looked like they were having a great time.

I remember when it first aired!

So do I. I'm just getting stuck on the "normal" part.

I ordered by two books(pocket full of poultry & Storey's Illistrated guide to poultry breeds) now I just have to wait for them to get here.

I may or may not get an american standards book......Think that might still be alittle much for me.....but hey I'm getting there.
