i discovered that 1 of my layers have
a boil-like swelling on 1 of its feet.
it's moving & eating normal, like all the
others.
is it the pox disease? what drug should I giv to it. should I be worried

Its symptoms include black patches on the comb n wattle, but I don't know about swollen leg Oooo...
I have been treating with poxcid + gumbocine with some anicillin.
No need for panic.

So far as they are healthy, give them the lasota. Waiting for the pox to dry up can take a long time.

That might be a mechanical injury. Are there other symptoms?

OK sir

thanks for the response. no other symptoms. it's feeding & moving fine. the possibility of a mechanical injury is doubtful as there's no item of equipment in the pen

some1 mentioned it's fowl pox but I don't know the symptoms of it. the "boil-like swelling" is however, increasing in size

Good one farmtech. Following from the begining. Have they started laying yet?

Sorry for the late reply. I hope it's nt too late. I've been off NL for a while now.
1. On floor syst, u deworm evry 2-3 months. On cage it can be evry 3-4mnths if ur birds have no contact with droppings.
2. Give antibiotics when u anticipate illness or when they are over stressed. I gave mine at least once per mnth even when nothing is wrong with them.
3. Feed 2x per day and turn their feed as often as possible. This applies to caged layers. It encourage them to eat more.
4-5: there is a sample feeding chart that I hav on my website, but unfortunately the site is nt currently active. So google for layers feeding chart to get the info
6. On cage syst, u can expect up to 90% lay if u follow good practices. Egg prices are high now, so find out the current price from farmers in ur locatn. I currently sell unsorted crate for N750. The first eggs will have small sizes and so their price will be lower. That's the size that egg roll sellers and Mee tea people like.

My advise is that u keep proper records and learn from ur mistakes. And hav plan to expand.

fnx alot farmtech, i really appreciate ur response, despite the fact dat it's late, at least u still replied me. one more thing still baffles me bro. bfore i venture into this poultry business som pple says wen they start laying well, their production wld buy their feed and also that same amount of money u used for their feed wld be ur gain , i:e 50-50 (50% for their feed and the other 50% is the farmers profit) hw true is dat?
secondly my layers re currently 29 weeks and their %prod is 80% is this normal? more so they re still laying medium eggs and i sell each crate at #630 for those that are buying in large quantity nd #650 retailers, after deducting expenses am left wit #4500 each day (i.e my daily profit is nt the same as my daily expenses)

U still need patience. Egg size will still increase so far as u feed them well. The profit u make will vary base on percentage lay and the price u sell. I don't know if their is a fixed ratio for expense vs profit.
