Sorry, I don't get your question

Well if u meant why the feed has to be raised, there are some reasons for doing so;
*Minimize feed contamination with their droppings
*Eliminate habit of sitting while eating, which could lead to lameness or sore.......

Avoid it. You can try herbal like one small onion bulb to their water.
Do you have a drug timetable?

A broad spectrum antibiotic should do, like E.S.T mix or N.C.O mix

We can't tell for sure.
What you should do is to sum up your expenses on the birds(DOC,Drugs,Vaccines,Feed,Wood shavings, Charcoal Or Kerosene, transport, etc) , divide the total expenses by the number of birds you have for sell, that should give u ur approximate production cost/bird - then you'll know If you're selling at a loss or not.
Good luck

ok thanks. My birds are just 2 weeks but someone wants to buy them once they are 4 weeks at #900 per bird. I will wait till then.
Re: ... by FlintGuevara(m): 12:12am On Dec 07, 2018
Good evening all, a number of my birds have been acting funny recently. Their wings droop and they walk with their wings spread apart like they are feeling hot. I first noticed the most recent case of droopy wings yesterday morning when I was cleaning their cage. I had to isolate two birds in the past due to NDV. I have administered lasota vaccine twice, the last dose was given this past Saturday.
Could the droopy wings be caused by NDV or some other disease is at play here? Thanks for the anticipated timely response.

Modified* The birds with droopy wings normally act lethargic at first and don't show any interest in feeding but start eating after a while. I isolate them the moment I notice the droopy wings.

I'm afraid you will have to give more information about their health -
*their age
*what their droppings look like
*are they active or dull
*do their feathers look ruffled
*do they stand alone for long periods of time without moving, eating or interacting with other chicks
*are they taking more of water than feed.... And anything you've observed so far

Pls attach clear pictures. Someone in the house should be able to help you in no time.

The birds are six weeks and 5 days old. Their droppings are clay coloured with white cap I noticed two green droppings last night, but I fed them pawpaw leaves so it could have influenced the colour of their droppings.
The ones I isolated are active, but I don't plan on reintroducing them to the flock since they came in contact with the two birds with twisted necks in the course of their isolation. The inactive bird doesn't feed that much, it also doesn't drink that much and it's loosing weight. It is always in a broody position.

Attached below are pictures of the inactive bird.

It happens like that at times. It could be many things like cardiac arrest, heat, etc

It could be coccidiosis or Newcastle (twisted neck) or even gumboro (broody stay).

When did you treat any of these?
