    Treating Rangers Broilers with Corid

    I treat my broilers just like my eggers - if they seem to have an issue, put Corid in the water, and make sure it's the only water source for at least a week. Check actual dose and duration on this site first. Works fine for me.

    At what age would 25 CC become noticeable?

    Agreed, 25 really is a lot for many reasons. I managed it, but also bought a new full-size freezer to store them in.

    At what age would 25 CC become noticeable?

    Good questions. The answers really depend on what resources you have available and your personal preferences. I raised 25 CX (23? - lost a few) to processing age. Brooded them in my unheated garage in an 8 ft x 3 ft space - they had outgrown that by week 3. I kept them until week 4 because...

    Show me your coop cleaning/maintenance supplies! Need a buy list!

    Well, you use a leaf blower with your N95 particulate respirator, and then immediately strip off your outer clothes inside-out for immediate insertion into the washer, and then you immediately go take a shower. I use a leaf blower to blow leaves and debris off the top of my coop. I hose out my...

    Show me your coop cleaning/maintenance supplies! Need a buy list!

    Virkon S and Odoban and Oxine are used commercially for disinfecting chicken houses between batches of birds. So, i'd recommend those.

    **Emergency: Raccoon Attack – Urgent Help Needed for My Injured Chicken**

    Side note: If her comb does end up coming off, she can have a perfectly fine life without it. So sorry you're dealing with this! I don't have answers about the rabies question. Hopefully others will contribute. I know any number of chickens have survived raccoon attacks without issue, for...

    Everyone's favorite game!

    Have you tried ordering from Murray McMurray? A fair number of folks recommended them when I was looking for those breeds. I got a nice FBCM hen and a pair of CCL from them, and they turned out fine. Of course, the FBCM was supposed to be a rooster, so that messed up my breeding plan, and she...
