lahify:
please what do I use to treat my 14 weeks turkeys with bent legs

my broiler has that issue I was told to give keprofoscal oral 1ml per litre of water

EMMAACHILE:
Last week

got them today. Thanks

okoroemeka:
two challenge it think you will face is the salt water habitat and the plankton feed.

please explain in details

EMMAACHILE:
Why? Even if you want a trailer load, its available.

when last did you go there?. Maybe I need to ask around there again. Thanks

EMMAACHILE:
Go to pata market, and get rice husk from the rice mill close to the old water board area.

I went there last time but I could not get any. I will still go there tomorrow. Thanks

If u must use saw dust, u can reduce the dust content by use of a plastic sieve/mesh - put the saw dust in it and shake until particulates are no longer coming out of the sieve. That should leave only the wood shavings with negligible dust particles in the sieve which u can use.

If u don't get the tylosin, ask for Tylodox extra. If u can't get these tell the vet store to give you any potent ANTI-CRD drug.

am using wood shavings. I got floricol this morning. Hope it works

ezkimow:
*My advice, treat with anti-biotics ASAP, mycoplasma infection is most likely the cause of what your birds are experiencing if they're not passing out green poo(though there are still other possibilities), thiamulin or tylosin are the two most effective drugs against the mycoplasma spp. given for 5 days or as indicated on the drug's package.

*Also, I noticed that the quality of wood shavings used predisposes them to respiratory infections. That's why I stopped using mine, as the bird run and play around, they raise dust particles in these shavings, which they breathe in, and then they fall Ill shortly.
I think if you can take of this, with proper ventilation, ur birds shouldn't have this issue again.

Good luck sir

as for the saw dust that is the only thing I can get for now. Thanks alot. I have looked everywhere for tylosin but I did not see it

EMMAACHILE:
What have you used to treat the cough?

am using garlic, ginger and Honey. Oga Turks told me to add lime.

ezkimow:
Any picture of the affected birds will help in diagnosis of whats exactly the problem, the color and texture of dropping - but most likely it's respiratory disease, u should try using Tylan(tylosin tarterate 200mg) or Tylodox extra. Isolate sick ones to prevent spreading, but treat the whole flock

Good luck

All the birds are coughing. I kept them in a room with two windows and the door is open down during day time. I will check later for their dropping and they are not eating like before. Thanks

My broilers have been coughing and there is water coming out of their nose since. Please help

ezkimow:
If where they are currently can contain them better leave them in the room.
If kept in the cage Ur birds will be under heat stress if ur place is very sunny and hot especially for the ones on the top tier because of the zinc roofing. U can reduce it by keeping cartons ontop of the zinc to serve as insulation

what about ventilation?

The birds and the cage

Hello guys. My birds are 17day old today. Is it advisable to take them to their cage now?

EMMAACHILE:
I notice after 5 days, Agrited chicks can tolerate 26c without heat.

is Marshall good for lokoja weather?

Is it still on sale?

Check nakka or ugbogu if you are going to otukpo

ezkimow:
We can't tell for sure.
What you should do is to sum up your expenses on the birds(DOC,Drugs,Vaccines,Feed,Wood shavings, Charcoal Or Kerosene, transport, etc) , divide the total expenses by the number of birds you have for sell, that should give u ur approximate production cost/bird - then you'll know If you're selling at a loss or not.
Good luck

ok thanks. My birds are just 2 weeks but someone wants to buy them once they are 4 weeks at #900 per bird. I will wait till then.

Hello house. Please is it advisable to sale 4 weeks broiler for #900?

Before you called them tell us how to prevent Fulani disease

Please how many weeks do I feed them with super starter?

ezkimow:
Happy Sunday to all
Hope you all had a wonderful week

Farmers in the house, how are thy birds doing....

Miki22:
It's not possible sir.
Broilers chickens are specially bred for fast growth and slaughtered when they weigh approximately four pounds, usually between seven and nine weeks of age. Birds between 12and 20 weeks of age, typically weighing between five and ten pounds, are called roasters.

who get time to wait for 12 to 20 weeks?....... leaking bone start from 6 weeks. 8weeks is d oldest

EMMAACHILE:
If its Lokoja, then no need.

ok. Thanks sir

EMMAACHILE:
If the broiler is Ross or Marshall, they should be fine but it depends on your location too. Eg northern part if Nigeria is damn cold at night now.

lokoja. The broiler is cascada

EMMAACHILE:
