I'm interested in knowing what other products are in your guys' medicine cabinets for chickens. I just realized that my Turkeys have blackhead. They were dropping about 1 per week and I never made the disease convection, I thought it was random things. I got them on a dewormer and three last 3 are still alive for now. I feel dumb that I didn't have needs of any kind on hands and my TSC seems not to carry much. I couldn't find corid, but my not have been looking in the right place.

What else should I have on hand? Is there natural ways to prevent cocci and such? Is like to be as natural and unmedicated ad possible, but I will use it is necessary, like now.

I'm truing to figure out what to do to be able to get Turkeys again and make sure they don't get sick.

I use sulfa drugs. Covers more issues than corid. It works better in my opinion. Ivermectin is the only bothering I keep. Don't use it very often....maybe once or twice a year when I move birds. The sulfa I use only when needed. I do have some denegaurd but it is VERY expensive and it didn't work as well as I thought it should. I will not buy it again. Some people use it all the time for egg production but WOW that really gets expensive.

I am in near Chattanooga, TN. I am new to this and I am looking for a good source of Black Australorp and jersey Giant Pullets 10+weeks old. Everyone has chicks and I want a fat bird before the cold weather gets here. I can go GA, AL, or TN if there is not a shipping option.

Hi, everyone! I am relatively new to chickens, but I am looking to get more! Is anybody selling chicks?

 

[CityGirlintheCountry]

I have buff orps, olive eggers and some easter eggers ready to go.

Possibly there are a few ameraucanas too (blue and splash). I need to double check gender.

Treating for Blackhead you need to get metronidazole, I bought some at the Aquarium Store Made by Seachem. You can find it by searching for Seachem metronidazole.
