I sold 10browns n currently wanting to sell all them browns away |

[quote author=orenteasa post=58302626]please can I put 16 weeks old chickens in their laying cages? [/quote if you are introducing them to a battery cage at 16weeks,i wld say u are doing it too late. By nw they shld be used to it. Cos changing of their housing when it's alrdy abt tym to start laying isn't too gud. At 16weeks u shld b expecting 5% eggs,at 10weeks max,ur layers shld hv gone into their cages n get used to it....by d tym they are laying there wld be to interruptions. Pls cage them nw nw |

doctorgyna:they are NOT gud for human consumption. Every medcine have withdrawal period. During dat time every egg dat comes are to be add to their feeds and given bak to d layers. U see d withdrawal period on d sachet of the medcine |

bigthingz:....it's normal to have a drop in eggs when u treat any disease or infection on a laying bird. Jst keep giving them vitalyte n watch them....1week is still too early to complain. Remember when u treat wit such medication then d eggs are not to be eaten? |

starnuel:normally 100 birds will eat half bag of feed a day. So 40 shld consume less than 6kg that's quarter bag. U shld also be seeing more than 3crates in 5days if they are all laying. So I advice u concentrate on increasing d number of eggs....give them d powders multivamin and also gve them extra light from 4am to 7:30am. After 2weeks u repeat d multivitamin again...u will get more egg with them feeding on same quantity of feed. |

I bought 125 POL brown n black. I separated them because of the fighting. But I noticed the blacks are bigger than d black n i have started seeing some eggs with d black.

Dont even know what medcine to administer to them now,i have lost 2 of the browns.look sick n small. |
