This was recommended to me by a vet who breeds and exhibits Cochins. She was really impressed with how well it worked. I will be treating every two weeks for two or three treatments. I used it the night after they were exhibited at a poultry show. I'll repeat again two weeks later.

I don't think I'll ever run out of product from that bottle. It only takes 4.5cc make up a gallon of solution.

That makes it seem more reasonable

Thank you for the links

How long does that usually last you?

Do you spray with a schedule?

I think Amazon sells it too.

Sorry--my error. It takes 9 cc to make a gallon, that's 2 teaspoons per gallon. It isn't all that expensive, but you do have to buy an 8 ounce bottle of it at $120. It does make up 26 gallons.

Beautiful! now I officially want a couple of this breed

I agree! Me too and so does my Daughter in law to be.... she lives through me. We think they are super cool and pretty. They are now on the list.

WE HAVE

A CHICK! Our very first hatch! So tiny! It must have hatched over night, it's already dry. Ran back to the house to get the camera and when I got back it was already tucked back up under Belle and I didn't want to disturb her. I'll get a pic when we go back down later. I heard peeping but thought is was coming from the 10 in the barn. Only saw it because momma got up when I opened the door to let everybody out. Gonna set a bowl of food right in front of her so she can eat.


Good day folks...Thank you all for the help with my chick. Looks ok today. Yes, I added ASV to their water yesterday. I've been making homemade electrolyte with sugar salt and baking soda. Recipe from my chicken book. I added the vinegar to the mix yesterday when I made a fresh batch. I will move the light up some. They were all under the light at 5:30 this morning.

Sorry I didn't respond last evening. Was gonna watch a little TV and have some tea, next thing I know my dogs are waking me up at 5:30 needing out. Was a long day yesterday. Of course i checked on my "kids" I was outside anyway.

Sorry you aren't getting your checks today Ms Jellybean. What you have built for them looks great. You'll get them soon, better to have them stronger when you get them than to risk loosing any after you gat them.
Have a great day Y'all Magpie

Congrats!!! I know that has to be exciting. One day I hope to be able to hatch some of our own. One step at a time!!


It has turned out to be a glorious day! I have the windows up, letting the house air out, just need good fresh air in the house sometimes. In fact the back door has stayed open most of the day and my Lab and Schnauzer have been running in and out all day playing. Laundry done, house cleaned, supper planned ..... all in all a good day.

My Daughter in law 2b and I just got finished playing with the chicks and she showed me a pic of the next chick I have to get for her. She wants a White Silkie Bantam ..... She is in love with it. She said she would just carry it around all the time playing with it fluff! LOL Makes me think of Agnes on Despicable Me ...... It's so FLUFFY!!!!

I'm behind in reading, but wanted to post. My dh is out there right now building my coop out of an old greenhouse turned garage. We are wanting to put an automatic door in the coop. Does anyone have good recommendations? We have a Tractor Supply nearby, but I don't know if they will have anything. They didn't have anything online. We sometimes leave town and it would be super great to be able to have a door that would let the chickens in and out while we are gone.

Thanks!

I asked the say question the other day and here is the tread about what I was told. It will be nice to see what others have to say too. I haven't gotten one yet.

Revelation!!

I want to thank everyone for all your insight on the showing. Today I decided with the help of my kids that we are going to experiment with different type of birds we like, dabble if you will. Then after caring for a few different types and learning about them and after attending a few shows, then I will know if I really want to do that and with what breed.
So having said that, I am thinking I need to put a brooder in my coop some how. I was wondering if you might take a moment and look at this pictures and give me our opinion on how you would set this up as your coop and where you would locate a brooder. Placement of the nest and roosts, feeders and then a brooder...... I'm just not sure.

Anyone have any ideas??








Thank you in advance!!!

You will have fun. By keeping some Polish, I found out I would never want to be seriously involved with them, no matter how much I like them, or any other breed whose feathers handicap them in any way. I would never have known unless I kept them.
