Today I found a nice little surprise from my Rouen duck, a petite little egg.

I'm still wondering my pheasants haven't started laying yet, they are starting to make nests, but people have already started getting eggs in VT!

Last night we went out and saved 68 Salamanders! Long night.
there is a story and pics in the me & my self sufficient family.

Ahhh, went out to check my chicks today and saw one had runny poo, looked sick and matched the description for cocci.

Juuuuuust great, that's just what I needed AFTER HAVING 25% OF MY NEW PHEASANTS GET DRENCHED LAST WEEK.
sorry for caps, I hit caps lock but I'm too lazy to retype it.

We haven't had this problem, but here is what I have in my "chicken files".....

Give a hefty dose of cayenne pepper: 1/2 tsp pepper to each 1/2 cup of feed. Moisten it with buttermilk or yogurt if you have some. If not, user water with a tsp of cider vinegar. Keep them on this for several weeks if they improve. If any get worse you will need to get medicated feed or corid to give them.


ETA: Clean out all bedding and disinfect their area.

Hey ticks,

They sure have been hard on you over on that other thread.

I use molasses for runny bottoms, and cinnamon for any cold like symptoms (sneezing coughing etc) Usually works pretty good for mine. Never dealt with cocci though, Keljonma's cayenne pepper is a great idea...cayenne is an amazing spice both for people and animals
