@jamp, d birds rushed toward me as i open the door to snap. Dey luv eatin water leaf @ d doorstep. (thou its gud 4 dem).

U can seperate d runts frm d rest if u av anoda pen. Hope the pen is spaceous to avoid overcrowdin. If the percentage of the runts ot that of d well-developed wans is high, dats a sign of overcrowdin or malnutritn

@22wks

@sam, u are ryt. Dat applies nt only to poultry bh all livestock. D rule of thumb z dat, do nt raise birds of diff ages in d same pen n prevent oda birds frm coming near ur pen. Dia is a required space 4 each bird @ each stage of dia lifecycle

Dia z no difference. Livestovit/biovit is also a gud multivtamin. Guys let share ideas and learn frm eachoda. Lets kip ds thread alive

D growth cant b uniform bh wt tym dey will catch up. I gt ma birds frm zartech. I will post dia pix tomoro. I formulate my feed. U can try amin-total, supervita conc, or vitamino trace. Dey are all gud vitamin and electrolyte supplement. @nbg, do nt panic, ur birds will start droppin soon

Check for d secondary physical xteristics e.g comb and wattle, vent and d plumage

U cnt jst try adjust d lightin schedule, it delays layin. Its well. Are u sure d birds were vaccinated against marek?

Care must b taken wen given enrofloxacin or any fluoroquinone drugs to young birds @ tender age too cos it cld cause bone prob(soften d bone and d bone marrow)...aw do u feed ur birds durin d grower stage?

Yes, there are sum antibiotics dat delay layin of eggs such as tylosin. Bh da shdnt affect d birds 4 d antibiotics ws administered wen de were young. Dia r sum antibiotics dat r nt advisable during layin, such as enrofloxacin. Vaccinatn procedure followed varies frm farm to farm n i can nt prescribe cos dia z ntin as gud procedure, d only way u can av a gud vp is to knw ur environment and check ur farm records. Dats d best way to manipulate d vaccinatn schedule. D level of severity of ND myt b lentogenic in my area wia urs cld b velogenic. So u may av to repeat sum vaccines 2 to 3 tyms cos of disease severity... I guess u undastand ma grammar

Hi, i collected ma birds(black harco) on d 1st of july, n dey started laying @ 17 wks of age. Presently dey are @ dia 21wk. With 153birds, i still av 151+ a cockerel till today and av bn collecting 2 and d half crates of egg per day 4 abh a wk nw(deep litter). D prob myt nt b d breed, it myt b d season. U nid to learn more abh ur biz. We are in a shorter day longer nyt period. And egg productn in birds starts wt lighting. I will advise u to increase d hrs of day length to abh 15 to 16hrs per day. Also a bird shd consume .11kg per day @22wks. Administer water ad-libitum, even @ nyt so d eggs cld start gettin big asap. Dia z still more to learn abh ds biz, bro. Best of luck

@fnk...hi, could u pls send me a copy of the v-mix formula. Here is my email...tabdulrazaqayoade00@gmail.com. It would be highly appreciated. Tnks

I need d past question too, kindly send to tabdulrasaqayoade@yahoo.com

@ job-meter, pls kindly send me a copy as well. Tabdulrasaqayoade@yahoo.com...tnks in anticipation

Pls send me d gmat and the past question...tabdulrasaqayoade@yahoo.com

Cocci is persistent truout d brooding stage to early rearing stage. D cycle neva stops and d chicks continue to pick d egg frm dia excreta. D birds gain immunity against cocci nt until de r abh 10 or 11wks old. So, its advisable to keep administerin anti-cocci truout ds period. Diff anti-cocci cld b used @ interval 4 d causative agent not to b resistible.

D positionin z jst east-west orientation, such da d sun crosses d roof of d buildin to avoid penetration and ds also controls wind blow

Thanks fnk, i got d doc
