Judy, just use Sulmet. Follow the directions for dosage. It is more harsh, but it works. Don't give her what she's already had. Be done with Corid.

Frenchie... I have a pool. It's a 18 ft round 4 1/2 ft deep. I have not had a chicken, or a goat, or a duck ever go in it. I've only ever had a feral farm kitten drown once or twice. I don't use a cover either. So my vote is put it where you want.

BBP... Why am I not supposed to comment? I don't know any of those vets, so I wouldn't comment. If you were worried I would comment on some vet spaying or neutering...? Again, why would I?

I think I got a 30 min nap...

So no call back on the main flock fecal sample at 5 pm..I call (Oh we were jsut getting ready to call you!) and they said there is very small trace amounts of Cocci. I ask if I should treat the main flock? "Well since they are all together, yes to be safe treat them all" Ummm How may times and people have I told today about the precautions i have taken by seperation, clothing, shoes etc? So I not so paitently explained again.....Then she says "I spoke with the DR and Yes I would treat the main flock for worms too". Umm worms??? "I thought you said Cocci?" "Oh Sorry yes treat your main flock for Cocci as well, and no signs of worms with your main flock". So I ask, was the Cocci within acceptable/normal range? And she said yes but to be safe treat them too.

So I think at this point I will treat the main flock with Corid in the water..no withdrawl and am thinking 3-4 days? Do I still re treat again?
ANd with Latte and Xanadu in the shop, I am still trying to decide but thinking i will try the Corid AGAIN. :-( poor things...and they are still stuck in a smaller cage. I try to get them outside to roam for an hour or two each night...backyard where the other chickens dont go near.

Did I mention my pool is still GREEN??? LOL Chickenship decided to toss in some SHOCK treatment and I guess when using well water that has Copper it turns bright green within hours so working on clearly that out....

(Has to be the heat making me so crabby....should stay in the ouse away from people and offline till I get an attitude adjustment)

BBP: That totally sux about his buddy I would be livid. Personally I would be livid at him for not making this clear to his friend before he came over! And interesting how its not so funny his dog getting hurt by your horse however, once again the mentality that chickens are just farm animals and no big deal!! I illd efiantely check into what other vets offer fecal sample testing. hey are charing 17.50 now..I swear it was 7. last year

Babylady glad its nothing healthwise and stills ending positive thoughts.

TerriO: Yes, its frustrating, chickens should be the easiet to figure out for a vet I would think but they arent "valuable" enough. Thing is, she doesnt know me and that yes I will pay what it takes to take care of this to prevent anything passing to the others and to know what I am facing...so give me the time of day at least!!

Did I mention I had 2 long hair cats in to have a lion shave done yesterday at this vets? They at least are happy campers and much cooler.

Heather you need a longer nap you missed an open invitation for a pervy comment

 

[jvls1942]

I feel guilty , not doing anything today, but it is just too hot..

Heather, how do you get a kitten to drown "twice" ? I heard of 9 lives, but never believed it..

I did date and set another 40 guinea eggs.. aug 14 due date.. kind of late, but....
I am also tossing more than that many into the garbage.. I think the power outage screwed up those hatches.. I had eggs from 3 different sources and in 3 different bators.. not a soincidence, I don't think..

I am going to put a couple of incubators on Craig's List.. big ones.. cheap..

I am also thinking of not hatching eggs next year.. after I think about it,, and decide,, I will be selling a few incubators with lots of hatching trays .. and auto water dispensers for humidity..

downsizing is the word around here..

Angie you can call Barron and talk directly to Scott and he's very informative. You can also take a fecal sample there for testing and I think its less than $3.

BigFam: I have Corid on hand so going to try that for another round...wait and re treat on the follow up with Sulmet (which I have to buy as I noticed the Sulmet i have on hand expired June 2010). I noticed she is starting to act weak knee'd again this afternoon so want to get something into her system. I also read that Sulmet doesnt treat as many strains of Cocci as Corid does.
And I think you missed the key point of BBPs posting: my cats getting shaved at the vets yesterday

Welcome Vander!!!

Nothing good vibes can fix.

My boss was 'let go' yesterday.

No details, he is not allowed to say.

I hope he sues the socks off the jackasses that run this he!!hole.

I need a drink.

I slept until 4--felt much better! In fact I was able to fold 2 loads of laundry and put it away too...was going to put the new sheets on the bed but DH came home and has all of his clean laundry all over the bed...

Hi everyone I'm cuties sister finally posting lol! Heres a pic of all 8 happy and doin good happy 2 join

Looks like Vander has the same disease as CC with double posting! (I thought you might need to see that pic yet again) The ducks look so happy! You can tell she must have just gave them that water cause in a half hour you wont be able to see through it.

Aw bbp, that sucks! Bad! To was telling me the other day there is a way of popping the leg back in. Maybe worth a shot if your attatched to thanks one :'(

Judy, I have only used sulmet on the one hen. But the farmers in my area stand by it. I did read it does not treat as many strains of cocci. I hope this all works out for you. I am happy you seperated her in time.

Terri, once again I am jealous!!!!!!!!

I described it a few posts back (how to put that hip back in) sometimes it works. Sulmet does seem to work well (and it's cheap too!) Yes Cuties...the nap did feel good!

THe people are fighting about who is going to grill the chicken...nobody wants to do it. Oh, I guess DH has stepped up to the plate...er grill.
I guess I better get chopping the veggies!
Have a good one! TerriO

Having a handle on your flock and keeping a close eye is way more than good vibes. One would have to have a flock to understand the thinking offered. Products sold for the flock work...what works best is up to the flock owner....in my opinion.
