The first question to ask when ur wife is not a virgin is whether you yourself is a virgin. If you're not and you're not happy with ur wife, then u a selfish and greedy human being. So far as she didn't lie to you during courtship, you married what you bargained for, so be happy.

Neduzze5:
Yeah... WHoever gave you that advice was on point. If you can afford it, serve them that twice in a week.

Make sure there's a source of calcium for them. That can be gotten from well grinded eggs or you talk to <ahref=www.nairaland.com/plopapy>Plopapy</a>

Wow, that's not hw to make links in forums, use blockquotes[] instead. Remove "a href=" and replace with "url=". Use "http://" in your url. Eg [$url=http://dash.com]link[$/url]. IGNORE THE DOLLAR SIGNS.

okay so after rereading and rereading every, I decided to get some layers but I still decided to experiment with 50broilers gotten from chi basically on the 31st of last month... so for the first 2weeks I lost none, feeling fly with myself as it was my first time and I didn't loose any, but after 2weeks n some days ...mehn the death started, most of th looked like they were stampeded... between two days like 10of them were dead, 5looked battered ..stampede I guess, the others looked like they died of natural causes...just dropped.. then I started noticing sent weak ones, they stopped being active and all, wouldn't eat nor drink, just standing there like they were cold, some struggled weakly till they died, even while on the floor..chipping weakly to death, while some other weak ones ended up bin stampeded before morning, or so I think... so in all I have 33left, getting to 3 weeks old, so any ideas as to what I did wrong? the ones left seem very strong and active thou... i dunno how to solve the stampedes thou, cos they like cuddling up every night,some even go underneath the others when its time to sleep...for heat I use a lantern, although I noticed this period just seems excessively cold.... so I am guessing the other things i might have done wrong were...I gave the vaccine wrong? they were just meant to die? cold? ideas anyone...cos its annoying picking up dead birds morning... I know I would do better the next time since I have some reasons I think may have caused them.. but if u think i flopped in anyway I am open for suggestions.

What was ur vaccinatn plan and did u prevent coccidiosis? What did you do to help the sick ones to recover? http://www.farmersjoint.com/Thread-Emergency-Liquid-Food-for-Sick-Birds

pcoolioz:
yes its not impossible, the wind here at night is gangsta, the kind that sings by your window, the pen is covered half way with tampoline but its not impossible the cold still gets in, I was avoiding covering everything cos of heat? maybe that was a bad call but still I am about 6ft and the tampoline is up tp my shoulder level...so I duno

..
Better to cover all and leave one or 2 openings at the top for ventilation. Visit them when the wind is singing to see what else you can do.

danyegbule:
Pls, farmers in the house, my birds of 19 weeks has refused to drop o, and its becoming a challenge to my pocket. Have done all I can as in giving them enough light, water and vaccine as at when due. Pls I need someone to tell me something I have not done.

..
Mine are about 19 wks too without laying and I love it that way. I don't pray for early lay because I want bigger eggs.

WhyNa:
Hello house, my doc are set to arrive on Thursday. Concerning the warmth issue, the room I'm using is already air tight, do I still need another source of heat for them? If yes, how much is too much? And when can I begin to let in some air?

..
Don't make it airtight. Avoid draft but allow some ventilation: http://www.farmersjoint.com/Thread-What-is-the-difference-Between-Ventilation-and-Draft. There is a temperature chart u can follow in brooding chicks. I normally use a thermometer to measure temperature close to the heat source and at chick level. But u can still estimate it from chicks behaviour. If the move away from the heat source temp is too high. If the huddle close to heat source - low temp. Temp. Is right if the disperse uniformly in the pen. There is a temp chart here: http://www.farmersjoint.com/Thread-Chickens-10-Tips-on-How-to-Avoid-Early-Chick-Mortalities.

Ksy1:
Pls Davidfarm, akay mecuess, jamp, farmtech, and please all farmers pls can any of you help me with vaccination program for chick from day old.

azimibraun:
^^ When Ebola came some people made comments like me, some people reacted to it just like you. The rest is history. I just tried as much as I can to give a warning and I left it open ended by asking that folks do research and know the true position. Little did I know I was committing a crime. No wahala. I know my country and I know how they respond late to warnings in Nigeria. I just learnt that part of the reason for destroying giant African snails is that they carry parasites and can cause meningitis. If you advice a young Nigerian to take a loan or use his savings to start a snail business and just a week or month later there is a "Red Alert" from Federal ministry of health asking that snails farms should be destroyed? I am only just beign concerned.

..
Actually you can get any disease from any animal during slaughtering. That's why u have to protect urself while slaughtering. With ebola, bush meat are nt that safe, but farm raised bush meats are safer. Likewise with snails.

jamp:
@ eggcelent, what is happening? you have been quite for sometime now. hope all is well.

@Segun1976, how are your birds doing now. i forgot to reply your text message, please forgive my bad manners

Ok tnks

just4now:
While not justifying the action of your pastor which l have no right to pass judgment but for your seek l choose to advice. Brother, Christianity is highly spiritual this is why the Lord instructed us not to judge others because you never know where He has granted grace. lf l want to go by the letters your pastor is wrong but where do we place the leading of the Holy Spirit in matters so complicated as this. lf you are in doubt where your pastor stands before God [if you care that much] you should seek the face of God concerning his action. Meanwhile, many will lie against the Holy Spirit to justify their actions to their own perils still that doesn't negate hearing instructions from Him. As Christians we are to live by the Holy Spirit and walk after the Holy Spirit...Gal 5:24-26.

..
Actually, the type of judgement the bible condemn is rash judgement and judgements we are guilty of - like you tell others not to steal but you're a theif. When it comes to judging this like this, christians are free to judge under the guardiance of the bible and the holy spirit. No need to shy away from the truth here, let's call a spade a spade - God approves such judgement.

Afrocatalyst:
Nice observation.

Those ones will be taken care of at the outside perimeter. The ground just round the outside perimeter will be treated once every month with fumigation chemical using a watering can so it can go deeper into the ground. That takes care of underground travellers.

..
Nice one. I hate those ants.

Apitch:
Naaa!!! there was nothing friendly about their offer. To me it's not an agric bank cos u start paying back immediately every 3months and even @14% plus u must have a structure on a land with C of O if not, then na 250k. So where is the one digit interest stuff and what happened to the 6months gap at least make ur product grow or mature, so if take it for cassava, then I'm dead. Moreover they failled to see I'm just a small boy trying to survive, where the hell am I going to get a land with C of O which takes years to get and even erect a structure on it. Broda I just turned back and forgot all about loan, I'll go on my small pace

..
Wow. I never knew interest rate was that high.

ceecee0703:
cassava and yam cultivation

.. You'll need land then.

viktor556:
say no more FarmTech. I now plan to build a wooden cage that will be able to brood 100-150. The cage in the same farm location. What do you think about this?

..
Place the cage far from the adults. I can't remember the minimum recommended distance.

For the main time, give them tylodox and keproceryl

Apitch:
I guess the 2.5m is for a co-operative group of 10 n above so what will 250k do for U

Did u later open the account?

ceecee0703:
Hello Agro brothers and friends am interested in Agric farming anyone who stay in Anambra now and can help me out with one or two piece of advise. Am in awka now. please contact me at 07035836262

Which one do u want to start

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.

..
U want to kill the remaining birds or what?

crownzade:

I Am A Deltan And There Is What Is Called 'Ego Ri Osha'. Meaning, There Is Money In The Bush..When Youths Are Hungry, That's What They Do To Non Indigenes That Need Land. Its Common In Asaba n Okpanam n Agbor and Others Have Joined Them.

FarmTech, Atleast U Have Been To Isselle Uku..

I've not been there, it was thru someone that we got our DOC from the hatchery there.
..
The hungry youth stuff, do u mean they go around extorting money from land developers? I'm asking bc I heard that it's not common Asaba.

nnaemeka1990:
I always notice brown liquid droppings in my broiler farm.

What's the reason for such watery sh*t?

They are physically agile, but dat watery sh*t is giving me concern.

..
It is normal. They call it cecal poop.

tyman:
Thanks, I used Norfox for them before, so I will try your prescription. Really appreciate.

..
Keep us updated. Do you know the active ingredient in norfox? Never heard of it b4.

Brewer's waste is high in fiber and chickens don't like high fiber diets. You can still use it but not for starters and inclusion level will be very low.
