Pasty butt could be as a regular of enteritis or too much heat. You sure that’s a Noiler? Its feet looks funny jidestroud: |

Your best option is WOOD SHAVING. Langdon2016: |
Re: ... by Langdon2016: 12:36pm On Apr 26, 2019 |
Turks: Thanks a million. Wood shaving is not the same as sawdust, is it? |

Turks: Not at all. They are Kuroilers. Lol, same reactions from everyone about their feet 1 Like |

Turks:Pasty butt and pullorum are very similar as both are vent diseases. Pasty butt can be caused by stress eg long transportation times or enteritis which is caused by salmonella. Pullorum is purely a salmonella infection. Pasty butt starts like a black dot caused by sticky faeces while pullorum has an extra whitish like ring around the vent. The picture below is for a pasty butt at its initial stage.

EMMAACHILE: Absolutely correct. Also noticeable was whitish discharge. A pure case pullorum. Unfortunately, I lost the chick. |

Hello Emma. Weldone. One of my hubbies is taking care of animals. I love seeing things grow, so, I occasionally rear chicks just for personal consumption. Have always being buying two weeks old from these hawkers but his time, just to see my ability on DOC, I bought half cartoon of broilers. Today is day 6 and they are all doing well. All I have given them as desease prevention are just pepper, garlic, ginger and onions. I'll be giving them turmeric from day 8 for cocci prevention. Now the challenge, I have two stupid ones. They have never eaten on their own since I got them. I always stay to observe which is eating and which is not after giving them food. That was how I observed these two not eating on day 2. I feed them like someone feeding babies, i open their mouth and put food, and I use syringe to feed with water. It's being crazy cos I do this like five times a day. Although, I noticed like joke one drank water by itself yesterday and today, and feed also today but in a strange way. It was taking water like eating food and not picking food but eating like goat is eating. Well, that's an improvement on that one but the orher is a no. I even take them to water and put their mouth, na lie. And then, these two use all the energy in them to cry alllllllll day. So annoying cos I leave in an estate. They don't ever keep quiet. On temperature, i dont use charcoal heat or any form of heat due to the hot weather however, i close all breeze inlets and just allow little ventilation. So I dont know their problem, why will a bird cry and cry all day? This has been on since day two. I received them at night so no issue noticed the first day. Atimes i even bring them out alone to face breeze na lie, it's same cry cry. Make them die they refused cos am tired of their wahala. I cant starve them ro die, it's like sin and wickedness to me so I kept feeding them like babies. 1 Like |

@Lalakas Can they stand on their own? |
Re: ... by Lalakas: 7:34am On May 01, 2019 |
EMMAACHILE: Yes sir. They are very strong. |
Re: ... by jidestroud(m): 10:14am On May 01, 2019 |
Lalakas: C'mon bros. Pouring food in the mouth for a day old? (Even if it's 2 or more days). And crying chick disturbing an estate? Hehehehe. Okay, brief checks... 1. Where did you source from? 2. Was any chart given you? 3. Apart from the self given medication any other? 4. What food are you giving? 5. What's your yardstick for known if they are very strong? i.e. weight gained? Growing feathers? Or simply because they use their energy to scream as described by you? So many abnormalities if you asked me. |
Re: ... by Lalakas: 7:33pm On May 01, 2019 |
jidestroud: Please read my post again. Only two refused to eat and cry! No abnormalities whatsoever. You just jumped into conclusion without readly my post clearly. I pour food in their (only the two of them) to sustain them cos they weren't eating and am doing that to sustain them. I don't need a scale, am not doing for conmercial purposed, i eat them. They have grown feathers, and bigger than they were. I do self mediaction cos i believe in what i use. It's being all i use for all the two weeks old i have trained and don't have motality. These ones will be a week old by tomorrow and none is sick. Except those ones not eating. |
Re: ... by Lalakas: 7:41pm On May 01, 2019 |
jidestroud: One of my birds had this and i don't give it any special treatment, just the normal garlic, ginger and onions cleared it in two day. Today, the chick is fine and feather growing around the area already. I keep the environment clean 24/7, no water on the floor and i change their feed contantlt or I remove their shit from the their food. I really don't believe in all those vaccination if you keep clean, little of these natural preventions are fine for your birds. Especially if you are not doing it on a large scale like me. Large scale/commercial farmers I'll say don't need to go that way cos it may be cumbersome. I learnt all the natural remedy here though. I used it the last time for my birds and no sick bird at all. |

The issue of organic farming is debatable in poultry farming if you asked me. At what point do you certify your birds truly organic? Is it all about organic medications? What about the feeds given? Are they truly organic feeds with all the supplements and ingredients added? Is there a standard presently in Nigeria passes organic grown birds and is there a market demand for such birds other than self gratification that I raised them organically? How many of the commercial farms out their practices it other than small scale farmers who are always at the forefront pushing organic methods? In crop farming, Yes! Organic crop farming is 95% achievable but in Poultry farming, we still have a long way to go. My opinion though 1 Like |
Re: ... by Lalakas: 4:14pm On May 02, 2019 |
I wrote too much epistle, reason why I'm not getting answer to my question. My issue is not about getting birds vaccinated or rearing them in an organic way. My concern is I have two birds who never ate since day 1 and they cry n cry. Theirs eyes are open, and strong. But cos they haven't eaten so well and cry cry, the two of them look so smaller than the rest of them. Why are they not eating from day one is my concern. Thanks. |
Re: ... by Lalakas: 4:34pm On May 02, 2019 |
jidestroud: You are correct. Am not into farming (well I am now no matter how small) and not a farmer in any way. The truth is organic farming with my very small scale farming experience is cumbersome. If am to go into large scale, I'll never try organic, maybe semi organic. Hehe, after they must have passed 4weeks, i can introduce the natural stuff to keep them on. The last time, one of my birds weight 5kg and another more. An adult can't hold it and run! I used top feed. My birds grow like they being fertilized when I use it. I will look for my scale and measure as time goes on with this new set as we go on. That said, I rear birds when i have their time, and i don't try during raining season. These ones would have grown well before june rain start. They are a week old today. |
