So my Ira who is a 2year old caucasian just littered 3 days ago and I have been over the moon. As a first timer, I really didn't know how it was all going to go down except for the different posts I read on nairaland and also Google. It was a scary exciting experience.
So on day 58, my usually hyper active Ira was so weak that she could hardly stand on her legs. Her vulva was swollen and there was this clear slimmey discharge. I was like, this is it! she will whelp anytime soon.(i was in for a long wait). While in that weak state, she was not eating much Infact I had to wait on her to eat. I fried eggs for her made sure she sniffed it before mixing with her regular food and that did the magic for me for the next 3 days.
we kept managing her state on the 3rd day ie day 61, I gave her ORS popularly known as ORT it revived her like magic. I was able to take her for a walk and we took rests when she wanted. By then, the swelling on her vulva had trippled.
She did not show any nesting signs and I was worried sick that things were not going on well. Infact she avoided the cartons and rags I put in her cage. And then it happened, my husband went to check on her by 8.30 there is was! she had delivered a puppy!!! I was over the moon happy that till today I have this wide smile when I remember that moment.
Well the puppies kept coming and she had 7 in all but 2 were stillborn.

tabontabon: Dont be greedy.@ 72wks & 50% production,selling off should be your target.Except you are targeting Easter. Greedy is rather a harsh word. But nevertheless, i get the message. Thanks for responding. |

Hello House I have 500 72weeks old layers. They are currently doing 49% that is about 240 eggs daily. I feed them 50kg daily and just started giving them vitamins daily. The issue is i am just trying to break even. Do you advise i sell them off or is there anything i can do to improve production. Meanwhile some have been molting for the past 1month. |

TheShade: What do you mean by reduction in egg price? There is no such and don't allow some people to deceive you on this. Please don't reduce the level of their feeds otherwise their reduction will fall and you may end up losing more than what you think you can save. In jos, eggs go for as low as 580 to 620. It has been this low for about a month now. |

Hi House. I have 520 layers which are 50weeks old. I currently feed them 2.5 bags daily and i get an average of 14crates daily. The issue is with the current rise in the cost of feeds and reduction in the price of eggs, i am considering reducing their feeds to 2 bags daily.
I would need your kind advise on how it can affect production in the short and long run. Cos by feeding them half bag less i get to save 8,900 weekly which would go a long way in increasing the profit margin.
Thank you. |

tabontabon: 1. Birds On Deep Litter Are Prone To Lice Infestation.Delice Them Again Using "Pour On". Pack Their Litter & Spray Surrounding.
2. Coccidiosis Could Be Difficult To Treat.I'll Advice u Repeat The Treatment.Vitacox Is Good.
3. After Vitacox,Give Multivitamin For About 2days.Then,Use Penprovit/Anicillin To Take Care Of Infections.
4.After Penprovit,Use Multivitamin For Them For 5-7 Days.
Note: I Gave This Outline Based On My Experience And What Worked For Me. NOT as a Doc. Thanks tabontabon, you are most helpful |

tabontabon: Answer The Following,it Will Be Easier To Offer Advice/proffer Solution.
When Last Did You Deworm Them And Gave Them Lasota?
Are They Caged Or On Deep Litter?
How Many Are They And What Quantity Of Feed Do They Eat?
How About Checking For Lice?
When Last Did You Give Antibiotics And The Name?
Ventilation Within The Pen? Last time I dewormed them was April 20th less than a month now. I gave them lasota this morning and the last time was exactly a month ago. They are in deep litter and they consume 2 to 2.5 bags a day. They are 525 in number. I have lost 22 since this episode started 8 weeks ago. Just treated them for coccidiosis about 10 days ago. I used Centre totlr, centre medicox About ventilation, all the vents are always open Finally, they don't have lice. Thanks a lot. |

Phizzlephizz: Bros Newcastle Disease is a viral disease, it has no cure. I'm not a pro but lemme give you my 2cents, 1. What feed are you giving to your birds, that's always the first thing to check out, you might be giving the same old feed fine, but is the company or distributors you buy from keeping up to the quality of feed they've been selling formerly. 2. Bros I don't know if you do know that thunder, rainfall, disturbance and noise can reduce egg production, a lot of farmers don't know this. 3. Where is your farm located is it a residential area, noise affect egg production 4. Importantly, where did you get your stock from. Did you buy from a good hatchery. 5. You said your birds are sick how many times did you vaccinate prior to the 19th week before they started laying. 6. From experience laying at 19th week is quite early, it maybe good for business but not so good for the birds. Your birds should start laying at about 20-21 week.
Omo I don tire make them my boss for the game contribute, but just consider these things Thanks Phizzlephizz for taking time to respond. 1. The feeds I use is what I had used since inception. Its hybrid and I really can't tell if the quality has dropped. 2.The farm is not located in a residential area and the only significant noise comes from my Caucasian who barks once in a while. 3. I got the stock from Zartech. 4. The vaccines are up to date I guess. I used a schedule given to me by my vet. The last one I did was NDVK+EDS+IB at 18weeks. |

Hi fellow farmers. My birds are 33 weeks old and egg production is yet to peak. The current production rate this week is 68% before this, it was 67%. Please note that they started laying at 19weeks and at 23 weeks production rate was 72%. But then they came down with catarrh and ecoli and things have not been the same again. They have come down with all sorts including new castle and coccidiosis. At the moment, they seem ok. They feed well and there are hardly any weak sick looking ones. As a first timer, I need advice from your wealth of knowledge on whether to sell off and count my losses or if there is hope for me in this case. Thank you. |
