Bella Blue and BTrent94, do not put your pheasants in with your ducks, the ducks are nasty animals and could make your pheasants sick, plus the ducks will devour all the food and your pheasants will starve, plus if the pheasants are in flight and happen to land in a pool (if you have one for...

First, whenever I bring home new chickens, I treat them with Aureomycin (? spelling) for 2 weeks. Not only do I treat them, I treat all of my chickens at the same time. Your problem is self diagnosis. There are so many things with similiar symptoms. It may not be an infectious contagious...

I go once in awhile for a couple days and what I do is keep them locked in the coop with all the windows open. I bought 2 5 gallon waters and have a 3 gallon. They all get filled to the brim and put in the coop before leaving. I add pans and fill all of them to the brim with their feed. It will...

That is not from a peck in the eye and you did right by cleaning it each day. It is from congestion in the sinus cavity and it is backing up. I am fighting the exact same thing now with (started out 8) 6 baby chicks. As soon as I noticed it I started treatment with Tetracycline and purchased an...

Did you have a Vet diagnosis the disease? Or are you just assuming that is what it is from the signs and symptoms? I have had baby chicks end up doing thte same thing and it was not due to Mareks. If 1 baby has Mareks usually they all do because Mareks is highly contagious. There are many things...

If you have noticed bloody stool, I would buy a treatment and go ahead and treat them through their water instead of switching feed. I do not use medicated feed and treat through water around 2 months and then 5 to 6 months before putting them with the flock. From there I treat when the weather...

Okay, Riqui, if that eggs is due to hatch soon, it may just be all right, don't give up hope, 3 days is not long. As for my peachick, it did not make it, but 2 others have hatched out since the, a lot of yellow with spots of brown. They are adorable and have 3 more in the bator. I have been...

Quote: Well if you knew it wasnt appropriate then why post it? http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p125/dogpoundbrenda/SMILIES/nowplaying.gif In this day and age and the way a lot of the new generation is, we should all be use to it by now.

Depending on where you live you do not have to deworm 3xs a year. I deworm as soon as the weather gets hot and my chickens are healthy and fine. When I do worm I also treat for Coccidiosis, both treatmeant applications go in the water. You can use your search engine and type in chicken...

yellow squash

italian sausage

Okay yappies. Those VG's are a gorgeous color, but gosh I can see where they got their names. My guineas have prettier heads than that and I thought they were only something a mother could love. At the price of $250, they can keep them all and in a year or 2 they keets will be the same price...

meatloaf

Quote: I have to agree. I use the Coccidiosis treatment (once every 6 to 8 months) that goes in the water for 3 days and deworm them all at the same time. I do not wait until my birds are sick and dying, I just treat when the weather starts getting hot and the flies are numerous.

All chickens are carriers of Coccidiosis and this disease and others chickens may be carrying can be fatal to pheasants. There are some sturdier pheasants that can handle living in the same area as chickens, like ringnecks. Regardless of what we all say, you are going to do whatever you...

Did someone say, Thanksgiving chicken, instead of turkey?

As peafowl chicks, Pheasants should not live with chickens. Your chickens carry diseases that will kill your pheasant. Also if the pheasant can find a hole to get its head in, it will escape confinement. When your chickens come in, your pheasants will not and even clipping the wings, you will...

I am also against medicated feed, unless you want your chicks to grow faster, which in the , long run can cause leg and bone weakness. I use a mix of chick starter/grower and game bird starter/grower crumbles for the first 2 months and I deworm all my chickens every 6 to 8 months.

dinner roll

Quote: X O thing is beyond me. I would never have enough time to turn them like that. I just reach in and roll them from one side to the other. Has for the Peafowl themselves, mine seem no different than the chickens. I have not had any problems with them. I do not let them out yet, that...
