I have lost 4 birds since Tuesday till today, I don't know why. all I can understand is that one was wet before I went to work and I don't know how, so I thought the lamp will warm it but it died and this evening I met 2 fresh dead and one soaked with water, making it 4 altogether. I gave them initially glucose and stress-vit and that's all. at first they all were not eating but they are gradually picking up. what have I missed and still missing . please help urgently, friends in the house
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!

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.

Doc losses heat so rapidly so they need external source of heat to maintain their body temperature.if the temperature of the brooding house is not well regulated and properly monitored you might loss the whole flock.Most hatcheries want to sell good doc and make household name but what about the breeders who can't handle doc properly.we shouldn't blame hatcheries but breeders.Before we make purchase of doc or point of lay we should as the hatcheries operators and breeders some professional questions.
Since 2008 I have been using CHI .

I read from pages 0 to 91 in three days. Loads of info here.

I am an experienced poultry apprentice/student courtesy of my Dad who ran a medium sized poultry for about 20 years. He retired about 2 years ago due to ill-health and none of us were willing to continue the business.

Now I think I am ready to pick up the mantle because ny love for poultry is drawing me back.

Good for you.You don't need MBA or ph.D to be successful in this business all you need is just first degree and zeal to do things right in a more professional way.You don't think of driving 'Bugatti'on the road but your assets ,time and dedication to the business can give you rest of mind for the rest of your life and in the long run you will be a happy man.

Of course they will kill birds if none died when they need to eat chicken. Stop giving them dead birds. If you can't eat it yourself, bury them.

I BOUGHT MINE FROM OBJ FARM AND THEY ARE ALL DOING FINE BOTH LAYERS AND BROILERS SINCE 2012
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by samuel25(m): 11:08am On Feb 07, 2015
Pls what can make some layers to be sounding like local hen on incubation after laying for some period like 2 months on deep liter system, and even stop laying for some day. Some even behave like sitting on the eggs like being on incubation.
Re: Starting A Poultry Farm (a Blog) by Eggcelent(m): 11:22am On Feb 07, 2015
samuel25. the birds have developed tendency to brood. you have to discourage the birds by picking the eggs almost as soon as they are laid. otherwise, the birds will stop laying. success

haha. this reminds me of when i was working in a bakery. anytime we want to eat cake, we try and make some burnt in d oven. na d woman children teach me ooo. wit time, we couldnt eat cake at all cos we lost appetite for it.

Back to d matter. look for ppl dt rear dogs to be selling ur dead chicks to. an ex colleague does dt.
one of my friends dt have fishery do feed the cat fish wit his dead bird. he just pours hot water on d defeathered dead chick, cut them in parts, removes d bone, then straight to d pond.na better protein be dt. d catfish enjoys it.

Am learning a lot on and off agric thread currently.

The plastic crates usually lead to more egg breakage.
