@jamp what do you mean by sort the birds, when putting them in a cage....explain please

segun1976:

Still waiting for advice. Na today oooo.

jamp:


Oga update the house.

Did you receive the birds today? What is their age and the average weight?.

jamp:


You sort to avoid intimadation/canibalism among the birds (In the same cell). You also sort to give the smaller ones room to feed and catch up with the bigger bird.

Eggcelent:
justified19. Shouldn't Wheat Offal be included in the feeds formulation I.e concentrate + maize + wheat offal? I'll suggest you use finished feeds for 2 - 4 weeks. Let us see how it goes.

justified19:
ok, top feed finished feed ryt?

segun1976:

Thanks for the clarification. The "how" & reason for sorting is now clear.

kelvin96:


are you picking them directly from the hacthery or someone is bringing them to you?

kelvin96:


yes top feed is good. But it might be they are still recovering... Remember dey went deep down on ncd and u were even having mortalities then . It does takes some time for laying birds to bounce back from ncd... Please what were dey laying before u started dat treatment then?

justified19:
they were laying same thing. dia production has been stagnant

davidzfarm18:


When last did you deworm them.? You may consider doing that.
Equally with the quantity of feed they are consuming. they may be overweight. You will need to weight them, if they are above 2kg. you may add Choline Cholide to the feed to burn their fats.
Goodluck.

Good day house, please how can I successfully treat cholera in layers? I have given them keproceryl and the symptom of solid greenish dropping still persist. Though, they look very active but there is occasionally cough in them. Initially, I thought it was Newcastle's symptom and gave them lasota, but later discovered through this forum that it's cholera. I have given them this Keproceryl for a week now and it seem it doesn't work,I even gave them iodine and it was the same story, please what can I use as permanent solution.

FarmTech:

The best way to know is thru lab test. And "NEVER VACCINATE SICK BIRDS WITH LIVE VACCINES". SINCE U hav been giving antibiotics and they look healthy, stop antibiotics and give multivit.

davidzfarm18:

Give them only water for a day. then place them on Conflox or any enrofloxacine range of products for five days.

samuel25:

Thanks, will do that.

samshoz:
Great farmers, how long does it take a local turkey incubation period takes?

tucurj:

just 28 days

segun1976:

I really must appreciate the pieces of advice I have received from everyone.
The birds didn't arrive today as scheduled due to some logistics challenge. We have reschedule for Wednesday (by God's grace). Thanks.
