Please farmers in the house I need an urgent help.
My birds will be one month (four weeks old) tomorrow and they still look small like 2 and halve week bird.
They always have diarrhea and wet droppings and seem weak, not all but majority of it. I had to separate them in four sizes in different pen.
I used pantacox at some time for cocci, it was working but seem like it’s no longer effective on them and I’ve lost quite a number of birds. I’ve been losing birds everyday since last week. I am really really devastated. This is the first time I’m encountering such high mortality rate.
Besides I clean their litter everyday because it’s always wet. I don’t know why this is happening. I need help. 300 birds , I’ve already lost about 36 of them. I need medication that will make their poop come out firm.

HELP PLEASE, I’m loosing it.

use Emberzyn forte to treat them sir

Sunnyval:
Please huz, what is the best medicine to use to control cough in birds

Buy Tylodox or any drugs that can cure crd

What's the difference between the imported turkey and the local one? Taste in the difference?

Foreign Turkey grow very big within six months and you can sell them

Is there any WhatsApp or Telegram group for betking virtual?

jidestroud:
You have nothing to worry about then. Let's just sit back and watch as they grow into big birds in no distant time.

By the way, are you planning of disposing them off or for breeding? (Just curious)

is it possible to keep them for breeding purpose?
which one of them will I use for breeding? male or female?
is it the male foreign Turkeys that will cross the female local? or vice versa?
Will the offspring be exactly like foreign poults?

noeloge82:
No need to keep foreign turkey for a year , since your doing intensive feeding for them, just like jidestroud said it gets to a time u will start feeding them your profit cos yes they will be getting bigger but nobody expect maybe ur close supporter will be wiling to buy turkey 50k

These one ain't eating much, except waterleaves.

jidestroud:
The person is quite right. Keeping them longer than the 6months mark is going to tell on your pocket & you certainly can't make your money back you would have used in keeping it that long (it's just like you saying you want to keep your broilers with your cockerels to a month). Moreover, I have a male foreign turkey in its 8months & 3 weeks weighing 23.6kg on last check.

Thank you sir, I'll look for means to sell when they reach 6 months old.
Then, how do you distinguish male and female poults. someone told me the two I have are males, I ask how he arrived at that, he said because they used to raised feathers and are behaving like real turkeys

Thank you sir, I'll keep updating you .

I planned to buy more to make them 20 in total and rear them till maturity and sell them off.
someone told me I can sell them at 3-6 months. But I'll like to keep them for a year with my local turkeys

aysnoopy:
What feed are u using?

.
Hmmm, I am using New hope extra starter Professional 510. 0-2weeks old.
But I started introducing them to waterleaves when they reach 1week, I used to slice it into one feeding tray for them, they used to reject it at first, but now that's what they love most, even if you give them starter and Waterleaves at the same time, they will all rush the water leaves and leave the starter feed.

jidestroud:
Beautifully executed. Your birds look lovely & healthy. God's speed.

*One of the major issue I do encounter raising foreign turkeys is weight related.

.
I was worried the first week too, I chat my mentor Noeloge82 about it, he told me never to rush and wait till when they are 1month old. They are three weeks old now and the weight is ok

noeloge82:
Your doing well with your feeding its showing on them

Thank you boss, it's all on you, for not giving me fake birds. I always count on you

Jidestroud

jidestroud:
Keep it up.
Interested in updates on the foreign turkeys.

Thank you boss, I'll keep you updated. That is one of the Turkey beside the feeder.

****I took them out today, the heat was just too much. They were breathing heavily.
Immediately I brought them out and spray cold water on them, they all stop and bring their wing back to normal place

Two weeks old today.
51 Agrited DOC and 2 Foreign Turkey
Supplier°°° NOELOGE82.
Date°°°6/10/2020
Feed°°°° New Hope Extra starter (Professional) 510
Mortality°°°1 caused by Turkeys biting the anus.
Source of heat°°° Despite we have 24hrs electricity here in Ondo, I still used charcoal overnight everyday for the first three days before i started using electricity alone.
I open the canopy I used in covering the brooding room every morning, and closed it every evening by 6pm except when it rains.

noeloge82:
Based on the feeds u listed I will arrange it like this Folhope Breed well Chikun Top All are very good but its on the order of preference for me

Which one is Folhope again? I only knew about new hope

I was able to see some secret things about most of the chicks we buy. I will just say some vendors are dubious and heartless. Do you know some vendors paint chicks green just to make you believe they're from Agrited? I won't say more than this. Just know that DOC market is a black market.
Buy from Noeloge82, you will never regret it.

My local turkeys always prefer to eat water leaf than grower feed. Hope it doesn't affect their growth.
Bitter leaf and water leaf is their best delicacy. Turn out towards grower feed is always low

1week old today

One mortality on day 2

Six days old Agrited from Noelogo82

Vote. buying up and down. I went back home when I couldn't withstand it

Overview

These are the ones I transplanted last week

Tomatoes and Yam I planted few weeks ago on the very spot I used to dump my chicken waste before

Thank you mentor Noeloge82, I got my birds very early today.

Good day fellow farmers. I'm ready for my next DOC, they will hopefully they will arrive tomorrow morning from my mentor Noeloge82

I wish I can order this through my boss Noeloge82 in December. I love the colour.
Brown Cockerel

1. is there any difference between black Cockerel and white cockerel? 2. which one grow faster between black Cockerel and Noilers? 3. I bought some Noilers sometimes ago, two out of them look like black Cockerel, I told the woman selling cos I bought them at four weeks old, the woman told me they are all Noilers that some noiler have black Cockerel colours too. They are all grown up now, but I noticed those two that look like black Cockerel grow very big and with massive weight, they are two time bigger than the other Noilers that I bought same day, I told the woman today she still insist they are noilers. 4. On foreign turkey, which one is Nicolas breed and which one is exotic breed? which is the best between the two? I need to know about black Cockerel, lots of people, especially old women here are asking for the black cockerel, the women selling used to tell them, there is no black Cockerel again in the market. I noticed the price difference between black and white cockerel is much
