Globaby01. The email address is eniitanemmanuel@yahoo.com. Meanwhile, sorry about the incident with the rain. I believe they are old enough to survive, though you may need to increase the intensity of the heat supplied. Finally & most important, ENSURE YOU REPLACE THE LITTER TONIGHT. Success

Eggcelent:
Globaby01. vaccines are in doses. each bottle has the dosage written on it; 200 & 1000. the dosage you use is dependent on the number of birds you have. you use 200 for a flock of less than/equal to 200, etc. You may check the paper on the bottle if you have not thrown it away. I'll advise you carry a more experienced person along for a while to avoid vaccine failure. Success

Eggcelent:
Globaby01. A 9 days old chick should still be in brood. Keep your birds for few days more. I wouldn't know if you got vaccination schedule from the hatchery you got your birds. If yes, follow the instructions. If no, I'll advise you give gumboro & lasota vaccines to your birds within their first 28 - 30 days leaving a minimum of 10 days between each vaccine. Since there are only 45 birds, 200 dose vaccine should be ok. Success.

Sorry for the loss. Was the wound that big and serious?

jamp:
separate the bird from others . The wound will heal

fishleg123:
good afternoon farmers in d house. my birds (200 layers ) are 4weeks now but have not been debeaked yet. can I still go ahead to debeak them. hope it is not too late

kevin96:
I just think the heat is not enough. the reason why some are getting wet is because they are falling into the drinker.
How many birds are they and how many drinkers are u using?
Also try and placed them on good antibiotics like doxygen and amoxycol with vitamin , all three drugs must be use together.

Please, I need to conduct a quick poll...

For those who have bought DOC from different farms, which farms will you say ranks best? I looking at Obasanjo Farms, anyone cares to share his/her experience? I will appreciate!

fnk:
Try everything you can do to manage this set that you have, but don't buy from this source again, I had a very bad experience with them and after visiting and enquiring from other farmer, they complained of this same issue of mortality, I lost so many birds from them, Zatech day olds, have a higher survival rate, chi farm is another one that I have head that is good. Pele!

laposta:
Please can you send me the Baba's contact at Obasanjo Farms? You can drop it here or mail it to femmiedot@yahoo.com

Between, how much did you buy your DOC? I'm guessing they are Layers abi? How long did it take you to process the purchase i.e. from booking to pick up?

Eggcelent:
Globaby01. If I understand what you mean by "congeal", then it means the vaccine is still potent/good. Keep it in the refrigerator & leave it "congealed" till you are ready to use. (Meanwhile, the aspect of "Baba told me" is quite funny. Are you saying OBJ himself personally attended to you? Or the "Baba" here is an entirely different person?)

Tips to be a successful broiler farmer:
1)Source your day old chicks from reputable hatcheries: like Byang Amo, Obasanjo farms and some others.
2)Vaccination and drugs: some vaccines like mareks is administered by the producer so ensure that. Then get a vacc program table for disease in your area.
2) Hygiene: its a prerequisite so ensure it is kept always including biosecurity.
3)Nutrition: Don't starve your birds least you get GIGO and don't compromise quality feed or you will pay darely for it.
4)Marketing:Before production source for buyers I mean potential ones. Don't just venture because people say its profitable and market is large.

TheLight001:
Bro, just visit any vet shop and tell them to give you glucose. Vitamix is good. Its advisable to give them a drug that contains mild antibiotic too. A drug called "keproceryl" will do.

jamp:

@bb life, The thing is that I used the solution in a small scale and it worked, I need to use it on a larger scale befor I can get the info out. Have you started your poultry yet? If not, give me your email and I will forward the project that I put together, based on the cost that I got last year.
