Well, that STINKS!!!! Get, 'em Kathy! There is no way they would have used a feather legged breed to develop them, is there? And they are bizarre throw backs? That is just not good!

to the seller!

Kathy hold on now....hold the little suckers up in the air and look at that fuzz... *trying to be optimistic* does it actually cover the top of the leg? the side if the leg? what what

I would be ticked...did they sell you brahma eggs?


No not brahma unless they are buff maybe...this is Lily, she was my Lt Brahma...she was 2 or 3 days old in this pic...look for these markings when the little ones dry.

also here is another option....a SF 2 days old

a red cochin 2 days old

they clearly have feathered legs...so yours may just have fuzz and nothing more...

 

[speckledhen]

Oh, no! I think I do see some minor fuzz on those legs. Hope it's an optical illusion.

I had a light brahma hatch out almost totally yellow. But either way, maybe he made his own "coronation sussex"......which is causing the throwbacks. Either way, if you only get 2 chicks AND they are both "wrong" I'd say something smells fishy around here.

Cyn, let your poor mama sit LOL. I have 2 broodies left on eggs. My half blind hen and a blue cochin who goes broody and then usually breaks at about 2 weeks. She is sitting and sitting and sitting but isn't having much luck. I think my fertility is down now that I pulled out that Rock rooster. My big blue cochin just isn't getting it done.......he has a bunch of younger helpers but they are mostly all terrified of the big girls.

 

[speckledhen]

When I let them out, Nugget came out with the others. There was no poop in the nest she stayed in all night. She's not acting that broody, but she never sleeps in the nestboxes, so who knows?

RATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALZHEIMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which thread did we have the wormer discussion on just recently? The one about Valbazen?
I wrote down all sorts of stuff, like you could feed it to them on bread and then I didn't write down how much per bird!!!!

I did a search on Valbazen and all I could find was mix 1CC with 8CC water and then give each bird 2CC of that mix.

I wrote down all the eprinex and Ivermectin dosages but not the one I go and buy!!!!!!

Anybody got any other info or link? WHY is my brain not working!!!!!

SAVE ME!!!!!!

Beth

I use 1/2CC of Ivermectin POUR ON per bird

Supposed to be no withdrawal period, etc with the pour on

 

[kathyinmo]

This one, Beth?

Valbazen which is a cattle wormer is the best I've ever used..It kills more types of worms than all the others combined, And you don't have to worry about a massive worm kill like with piperazine or ivermectin which will sometimes clog the intestines..Valbazen slowly starves the parasites over a 2 to 5 day period..Valbazen is also used for human treatments at 400 mg child or adult..So unless you are allergic to it I'ts ok to consume the eggs after treatment, But I and all I know wait two weeks ..I'ts pricey at around $40.00 per bottle but well worth it

Dosage is 1/2 cc orally to adult large fowl.. 1/4 cc for bantams and young standard breeds
**********************************************************
Is Ivermectin really effective for cecal or gizzard worms? Levamisol would be my choice as a water soluble..IMO Piperazine and Ivermectin has seen their better days as an effective round wormer..After wroming with everything from Red devil Lye to the old Salsbury Wormall Tablets I'm convinced that Valbazen is the most effective wormer that can be given to poultry, It even has anti-protozoa properties against Blackhead and coccidiosis...​

I have no email response from the seller of the, "Coronation Sussex," eggs, yet. See here .... do you see the feathered shanks?

 

[Serrin]

Oh yeah Kathy! I see it plain as day!

I'd be furious. How many eggs did you originally purchase from this individual? And only two made it? And they're all wrong??? Ooooooh! That's grounds for getting out the industrial sized can of whoop-a$$ on that little toe rag! [to borrow Cetawin's term

]

I get so ticked off when I or any of my friends get conned by some shyster, all on account of the fact that we figure that all folks in poultry are as honest and trustworthy as we are!

It's always so dang heartbreaking to learn you were wrong.

I hope you get satisfaction out of this turd Kathy, but by the sounds of him, I wouldn't hold my breath. I'm just sorry this had to happen to you.
