What do you do when you discover that your point of lay birds have CRD? most of the time it leads to early lay mortality and it is very difficult to treat. which kind of medication can help you through this phase as I have used tylosin based drug, enrofloxacin and the situation just persist.

..
Try to do antibiotic sensitivity test. Tylodox or anitylodox worked for me then.

Childhood memories......we used to buy bread from his bakery every Sunday on our way back from Church. Can't forget that Baba with pink lips who was always behind the counter...the smell of pastry was intoxicating! Can still remember the name of his bread was Goodluck

As a child, his Estate was scary with all those sculptures and the place was always dead silent, one felt as if he being 'spiritually watched'.

Loved visiting those caged Monkeys that was were the Protea Hotel Leadway, Maryland is presently located.

Childhood memories indeed! Baba said he would resurrect we still dey wait!

..
Pavore, u have seen things oo. I just heard about it as a child.

valarinz:
clear case of coccidiosis here, treat with pantacox or amprolium or any other good anti-coccidiostat you can find in your area. also include vitamins and Dont forget to change their litter

NB: major likely cause is wet litter, avoid that and make sure your birds are well fed because poorly fed birds are more susceptible. thanks

..
Whenever u're using amprolium, don't give vitamins, esp vit B, else drug won't work.

I took a decoction of pawpaw leaves today and I've resolve to start taking herbs and fruits. Soaking herbs like ginger, garlic, pawpaw leaves, ugu, dongoyaro, moringa etc in dry gin and taking 1 or 2 tablespoon per day can really help ur health.

Guys, I have good news.
We have agric lands in Anambra!

One of us that hardly posts here has got farm land on lease , he is abt to start clearing and he intends to farm cassava.

The land is from Anambra forestry reserved area. The land is located at Ebenebe but d ministry has office at Nimo. You will have to pay n7500 to register with them (one off registration) then a lease of 4k per acre per year. He said u can use d land as long as you pay ur yearly lease.
I asked him if they have tractors and other farming machines, he said one can get that from the ministry of agric. DT he has a contact person there .
He also says they have water source close by.

..
Can you give us address for the office at Nimo?

Marriage shud be honorable in all and the bed undefied. Fornicators and adulterers, God will judge.
..
U may sleep with him/her but at last the r/s breaks and the duo will end up marrying somebody else. Courtship shud be a time when u understand urself and differences, it's not a time for immorality that blinds.

It all began as a joke though.

I wonder what is immature about that.

samuel25:
Pls house which symptoms of disease is an active bird in previous day suddenly turn lame? the toes look somehow twisted, shivering while trying to stand up, abandoned feed and sudden death. Five weeks bird.

..
Heat, newcastle disease, vitamin defficiency etc can all cause that. If u have many birds u shud consider going for lab test. Do u formulate ur own feed?

I remember my Primary sch Macmillian: Edeth lives in Ikote Ekpene

Story for the gods........

.. I really wonder what you mean.

Eggcelent:
jamp. The weights of your birds is testimony that your staff have done a great job during your absence. Welcome Bro. endy247. Are your birds on deep litter? If yes, kindly take note of what davidzfarm18 suggested in addition to that of FarmTech. You may also wish to spray ashes in sufficient quantity on the litter. Success.

..
True.
..
I once tried mixing ash with sand and let them dust bath in it. But they ate up the sand. They can be very stupid.

endy247:
i gave them ivermectin wen i first noticed it last wk bt it's still there, maybe i'll try it again, i'm getting tired of dis birds sef.

..
Don't get tired oo, when they start giving u money now will u get tired? Is the lice too much? I too had the same problem but it wasn't much.

This shows that we are moving forward. Congrat Jasper.

endy247:
ok thanks, bt how can it be treated? cos i've noticed it in my birds and i'm suspecting dat it might be d reason they haven't started laying @21 weeks.

..
U can give them ivermectin. They normally start laying between 18 and 24 weeks.

EZEUDENE:
I av done dat

.. Did you send a message?

Stories on nairaland makes me feel that Benin is dangerous, cultists. Or are they over blowing it?

mercylicious:
Ubare welcome my dear. Together, we shall be better.

Amen oo.

EZEUDENE:

My Nokia asha 200 is not compartible with whatsup. Can you meet me on facebook by the name Ikeme Henry?

noblefarm:
ok sir. pls u any of any poultry farm in Ilorin I can visit?

.. No, I don't stay that side.

Eggcelent:
Annabechick. Your pen won't do for the number you are looking at. You need to increase the width to at least 26 feet. segun1976. 85g/day for 18 weeks old pullets in cages is OK (according to ISA Brown Management Guide). However, I'll suggest you pick several of them at random (especially, the smaller ones), weigh them to see if they are up to 1.5kg. If yes, stick with the 85g/bird/day for the week; if no, increase it to the 95g suggested. Success.

..
Just to make him know that if he is to rely on natural ventilation (ie no fans), the width shud not exceed 9m. 26ft is still within good range.

Hello house please am constructing a poultry house for 2000 birds but am not around to supervise the construction. Please this is the picture for the house its 20ft by 90 ft. I want to knw if it will house 2000 birds to maturity? pls i need ur opinion

..
Layers require 3 birds/m2 (deep litter). Checkout the link below for other breeds: http://www.fao.org/docrep/008/y5169e/y5169e05.htm.

segun1976:
Hello good people,
Please I need guidance on what quantity of feed I should be feeding my pullet.
They are currently 18wks 1day, ISA brown. A guide I saw on the website says 85g but the breeder who sold to me says about 95g.

From your experience, what do you suggest?

..
Check the plan here for Hyline brown. There feed consumption is slightly lower. http://www.farmersjoint.com/blog/livestock-farming/poultry/feed-consumption-plan-body-weight-target-laying-hens/.

noblefarm:
want to start with 3000 layers. help me out with what n what it'll take me to set it up, I have land available

..
That's huge. But I think as a first timer, you start with small and gain experience. But if you're so rich that making costly mistakes means nothing, of course u can go ahead.
