Ok so I the feed store I was able to go to today did not have Corid (sp?) But I did buy Sulmet. Now it sais to wait 10 days untill after treatment before you can eat a chicken that has been treated with Sulmet, so I assume that there is a period of time that I can not sell or eat the eggs either??? I am just wondering incase any of my adult birds get sick at some piont.
You have not a clue how happy I am that I have ya'll to talk to and ask questions. I have been saved many a times by a lot of youzz on here! So a BIG..........
THANK YOU To everyone!

This photo reminds me: one of the most useful items in the home and yard is a good collection of old bricks (I got about a quarter of the chimney at the home of The Rose That Ate Madison Valley when the earthquate destroyed it, besides what's left of the cruddy home-fired ones that were the chimney of the homestead cabin here). They weight things down, prop things up, hold things together temporarily and are heavy enough to do it well while still being light enough for me to move.

They are great for hucking at stray dogs, cats & the occasional possum, too !

Well, I'm done did, I am- long day, had to finish cutting the rose canes that were smashing the Tower of Solitude, fill big feeders, and get hay for the sheep and chickens. I also used up some of my limited energy getting righteously PO'ed because when my hired hand got the hay last week, she pulled the bale off the boards that keep it from getting wet, and now I'll have to get hay next week somehow. It was a particularly nice bale for my purposes, too, since it was short-stemmed and had lots of leaf. A bother to handle, but great for the chooks.
I was looking at photos of the rose today, and I've taken out as many canes as it had four years ago, and it still needs another 12" 4x4 burried to support that end of things! I may need to get me a girl chainsaw. I can do this kind of heavy pruning with saw and lopper, but it makes my bendy bits quite sad.

Is this the giant climber covering that patio roof in your back yard ?
That is one moster rose !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But gorgeous !!

Sulmet is a decent antibiotic, but I have never seen it do anything for killing off Cocci.
It is decent enough for helping heal the torn up gut though.
It is not an anti-coccal despite the fact that they claim it is.
If you can get some medicated chick feed, I'd feed them that & keep them on Sulmet to help them heal.

GET SOME CORID !!!!!!!!!!!!

By the time you see bloody poop, the chicks are in serious trouble and can die quickly.
Hope you get it taken care of in time.
Fast time.
Corid is in most all feed stores, at least in powdered form, in an envelope & use 1/4 tsp per gallon of drinking water.
I use an empty milk jug, add the 1/4 tsp of powdered Corid, then a few cups of warm water to dissolve, then top it off with tap water.
Hope this helps !

Yes, don't eat or sell the eggs. I was at Del's and Monroe Farm & Feed and they both have Corid in liquid form in the cow/pig area. I am not sure but I was thinking that there wasn't a withdrawal period for Corid. It's the same stuff that's in medicated feed and it stays in their gut. Maybe someone else can pipe in here?

I am done butchering...finally.
Put some serious miles on the meat grinder...it is awesome !
575 watts, 3/4 horsepower...made alot of fantastic ground venison, lots of roast, steaks, stew meat, loin & tender loin...and the freezers are almost so full we can hardly close them.
The meat freezer is full almost to the top with the 50 broilers we raised, 3 ducks and assorted roosters for soup....so we are set for the winter now~~~~~~~~~~
And my back is killing me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The birds in question are adolescents, I do not think they are laying so it is not an issue.

Quote: My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.

So I asked, "Why did you just do that? That guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!"

This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, "The Law of the Garbage Truck."

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage -- frustration, anger, disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you.

Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.

Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't.
