Does anyone have an opinion as to the gender of these 10 week old polish chicks? Is there anything special I should be looking for when trying to identify their gender? TIA
Hello Everyone. I would like to worm my girls tonight and this is what I have on hand. I have safeguard (25gram paste 10%) and Ivermectin pour on for cattle (5mg/ml). I think I used the ivermectin in the past as it was recommended to kill lice too. Any suggestions? Dosages would also be very...
