Well..... I use Oregano oil for coccidiosis. I did run that sentence together. It's wonderful that we have so many people on this forum that can give great suggestions and help each other out. Some have been at it longer than others but there is always a learning curve. We never know it all.

Thank you for the information good to know. My waterer and food for my poults and chicks is never by a heat source. I use a Brinsea brooder not a heat lamp for a heat source I find they are much safer and better for the poults and chicks. I have never had a problem with using acv. :))

I hatch a lot of poults and chicks and I always grind the Turkey Starter for the poults in a coffee grinder a bit and for the first week or so to make sure they are eating well.. I do the same for chicks and them gradually mix in the regular feed with the ground so they can adapt to eating the...

I raised chicken and game birds when I was in High School...in the '70's!! I couldn't have them again until 2012 and when I bought my own property. The first of my flock I purchased RR and now I am raising Belifelder with a few RR red. The past three years I've hatched out most of my own...

Dear Dootadoo, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know how it is. The coyote that was coming in and killing my geese and chickens has now been hanging on my perimeter fence for a month. He tried one to many times!!! Check out Stromberg's website. I just received an email from them last...

Hi Monstro!! You've pick a wonderful breed of goose!! The American Buff has the best disposition of the goose breeds. They are on the endangered list which is another reason I chose to raise them. I have 4. I raised them from goslings which I feel is the best way to do it unless you are in...

Excited for you and your hatch!! I thought it was 28 days but found out it was 21days. I went out a while ago and found mama off the eggs. She seems to be more concerned about the whereabouts of the live chicks. I'll watch and see if she goes back to the eggs. Sad if the others don't hatch...

Thank you for your response and sharing information. All is good so far. I did put a screen on the box to keep the babies in and also put a small container of water in the box for mama. She did drink. I set up the nursery last evening thank goodness it was ready to go. I was getting her...
