Silkie thread!

I do not see where you were responded to - but the answer is no - you will need to make a new batch each day.  Once medication is mixed it degrades - and it doesn't work as well any more.  Mix it up just for what water you use in a day, make a fresh batch every morning.

How much do I mix per pint? I put 1cc to 1 pint of water. So far so good. No deaths today and all are eatting good. I lost a Silkie mix and a Cochin yesterday.

it's 1 tsp per gallon, so you can either mix 1 tsp into a gallon and throw out what you don't use or do some math =P i'm personally terrible at math.

Correct me if I'm wrong. 4 qrts to a gallon 2 pints to a Wet so I need to add 1/8 tsp to a pint of water. I will convert that to cc tomorrow.

Yes, that is correct. I believe I used 1/2 tsp of Corid per waterer (quart?), so that would be 1/8 tsp/pint.

no more losses.

Quote: They were referring to the colour of the bullseye, not the yolk. But to me the bullseye looks white aginst yellow, not dark. I would imagine that with darker yolks there would be more contrast than with lighter ones.

Quote: If you want birds for exhibition, get whatever recognized varieties you prefer, and make sure the chicks have the correct numbers of toes, correct comb, dark skin, foot feathering and silkied feathers. Ask to see the parents and make sure they have good type and meet the standard. No colour is better than any other; the best colour is the one you like best.
