How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[Phosphorus]

Okay - we have had our 7 girls for 4 weeks now this weekend Love them to bits They are in a run that is approx 2.7m by 4m so I think that is 10ft by 13ft.

 

Breeder has Cream Legbar chicks - 3 weeks old at the moment Seriously contemplating paying her for 2 of them up until 8 weeks or so (i.e initial price and so much per week until 8 weeks).

 

Am I mad? I know I would have to house two little girls separately until about 18 /20 weeks in their own house and run together with the growers pellets etc. So I would need additional housing (but then wouldn't that be useful if I need to segregate a girl for some reason in future )

 

Can 8 week old chicks go outside at that point ?- i.e what is the earliest they don't need to be inside in the warmth of our house - DH would not like that - in fact DH will kill me when he even sees I am thinking of this

 

So come on folks am I completely off my rocker, I have 7 happy girls already just would love some blue eggs..... Thoughts please

mad? absolutely not - sounds perfectly normal behaviour to me!

 

(how do you think we ended up with 10 chooks, with plans for 4 more)

id say yes to them being outside as it will be summer, but im sure some one will tell u, i have 7 chicks outside now ,but with a broody they are nearly 3 weeks old, but were born there.

im sure the breeder will be able to tell u

but u def aint mad but is so much fun u will always want another

Not mad at all.

 

Perfectly rational behavoiur if you ask me.
