pcoolioz:
well it could be gumboro... who knows, but I heard of the vaccine for gumboro fails it wipes out the entire birds. they started dying right from the first week. I got a carton, I have 15left. I had to bring them out of the pen and let them free range. I was out of options and in doing that those 15 survived.

the plan
day one-antistress
2-5 - antibiotics
6-7 vitamins
8 - first lasota
9 - 10 -vitamins
11-first gumboro then bla bla till day 21 second gumboro
that's basically it
I skipped fowl pox vaccine when I thought they were all gonna die.

Well it depend on each farmer practice and experience. Gumboro should come first before Lasota even before day 7. Test this and see what happen. The problem with your birds were due to gumboro infection

jamp:
If the wound is by the side then its not prolaspe....that is cannibalism caused by pecking. Please check the beak of your birds.

Yeah thanks it cannibalism. I dedicated my time this morning watching and monitoring I found 2 of the bird pecking and picking the feather beside the vent to eat have isolate the culprit. Thanks Jamp I really appreciate your time and reply

jamp:
this is prolapse. It happens mainly when birds come into lay so early without full maturity(low body weight). That is why it is not good to force birds to lay early .What you saw is the rupturing of the oviduct which causes other birds to peck on it. Just isolate the particular bird.also check the quality of the debeaking

Thanks my birds are 1 year old and being laying since 6 months ago. They started late
beside the blood is at the side of the vent this is not prolapse

I found out that my layers have blood at their vein. One pecking at it herself making it to cause a big wound and blood flowing out. Anybody with this experience previously can help with solution and causes thanks

Dikwons:
Please help. My 2weeks plus old chicks are dull, not eating well, sleeping standing, buried necks, some have watery stools, I noticed this two days ago. I have vaccinated them against Newcastle disease with LaSota, in the first week, then Gongola in the second week. This is the third week and they went from being energetic to being sick in a flash. I've been giving them a glucose+antibiotic+vitamin drug since I got them. I bought chlortetracycline drug yesterday for them but they are still the same.
I keep them well aerated and their litter dry. There are two poults with them who are still agile.

Did you give gomboro vaccine ? The symptoms look like Gomboro

@fnk sorry for the lost

it depend on your location Visit a feed vendor around you and ask for the price

Trueigbo:
which one is better

Both even "Oba Marshall" from Obasanjo farm. They are from reliable source. Just make sure your management is 100% ok for them to attain normal live weight and good health

Good luck

Nacre1:
Errm..... pls I am not conversant wit doz names. pls which type do agrited n chi have ?

AGRITED: Ross 308 Broiler
CHI. :Arbor Acre Broiler

It is better to know the brand of product you are buying with their performance both in health and live weight. This will make you choose the one suitable for your budget and economical plan

Annabechick:
Good evening please how long will it take me to get 2kg of broiler

It depends on the strain of the broiler you got. A strain like Marshall,Arbor acre,Hubbard can attain At least 2kg in less than 6-7wks with a good management. Feed Conversion Rate or Ration to 4 :2 meaning 4Kg of feeds to attain 2kg live weight

viktor556:
ok. I already bought formaldehyde, izal and chloroform. But since I still have 60+ left and with only one pen in my farm,the plan is to demarcate the pen and fumigate the halved part.

Plz quarantine the old 60 birds in another pen or cage before washing and disinfect the pen to avoid more problem

viktor556:

You can't disinfect the pen while the old stock are still there. I will advice you quarantine the remaining stock in a separate pen besides you can't introduce new stock with old stock, it will surely increases their chance of infected

viktor556:
I have been following this thread but must have missed it. I'm planning to restock by the way. Do you think they will be fine provided I go through the correct vaccinations because I'm worried the disease is now already in my farm.

Anticipating your reply.

Before you restock. Kind wash your pen and use quality disinfectant wait for about 7 days or so. Most important follow vaccination routine closely. Is very important.

Daddiejk:
Hello my Oga's i want to go into Farming as in Poultry and would like the expertise in the house to put me through on how to take care of them from day old chicks from the vaccine and the medicine and the best food for each breeds

That's much incubation,parent stock and feed formulation is a thing you could learn here with lesser fees and channel the rest fund into something good. I learnt parent stock,feeding,incubation everything on my self research over the internet, book reading,research and word of mouth. Anyway if you have the cash you can see how it is done abroad good luck

Deolaw:
Hello Op. I made this little pen for rearing chickens. My plan is to have 40 chickens in it and wanna target DEC for sale. I am a novice in intensive poultry or so. Can you advice me on...
1. what kind of treatment do I need to add to the pen to start off.
2. I wish to have broilers. Are there any special breed for my purpose and timing
3. How long will I need to have to add heat (from a stove or bulb) for a day old chicks.
4. Just help my novice head


Thanks

I don't think your pen can contain 40 broilers when they mature. You need to provide for heat stove,bulb,charcoal for atleast 2 weeks to 3 when they would have grow enough feather.
On arrival you have to give them glucose and vitamin in their water on day 1..
Day 2 ..antibiotics and vitamin in their drinking water till day 5 or 6
Day. 7 time for vaccination. First dose. Gumboro with milk dry milk
Continue with vitamin after vaccination on day 8
also with antibiotics before another vaccination on day 14 Lasota first dose also with milk

Day 15 give vitamin and give tylo doc extra on day 16 till 18 prevention of respiration disease

Second dose Gumboro should be day 22 and Lasota second dose day 27

May be another person can add one or more thing
N:B. You should be careful when administer vaccine and it shouldn't last more than 40 to 50minute. Good luck

endy247:
I don't think dis is rat, it looks like d handy work of snakes to me, had same xperience some time ago, u shld be on d look out.

You may be right but snake will swallow them

shininstar42:
Can the floor of d pen b blasters/cemented

Yes. The floor or pen should be at least 4inch or more concrete cemented

@Davidfarm for the benefit of us that aren't at the seminar do you wish to share some info about the vaccine

jamp:
Rats ate some of my new birds

Ouch! There should be a preventive method to keep rat away from the pen,like checking for a hole around the pen house. Rat will not only eat your bird but transmit some disease like salmo
nellosis
through their excrement. Sorry for the lost

Goldenboy842:
At 8 weeks old this bird is weighing 3.7kg.
With good management you achieve a good results.

Wao! Lovely do you mill your own feed or how do you feed them anyway good job

White bulb still the best
