I really dont know and because my vet is an urban vet he is not up on his chook knowledge, although give him his due, he is being really good. So what shall i do???

Lewis Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I'd have a look on the internet or see if you/he can phone an avian vet to find out. Maybe speak to the manufacturers too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 well just googled it and apparently it is ok for chicks however corect dosage will be a nightmare as it is 50g per 1000 chicks, so how on earth am i going to measure it for 6 chicks and a broody!

Lewis Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I'd work it out for 10 (not properly with it today 0.5g?) and then mix that and dilute it down again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I agree with Lewis. Hope they are OK soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madchook Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 yes you can, but not really young chicks you would have to use something like Dengard i think (this is what I was told by my rural vet)-it is ok after a couple of weeks (mine were 5). It is 0.5g to 1l of water, hth xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 Well the tylan has arrived and they are all having thier first dose of it now. Although i now have a massive bottle of the poweder enough to do about 1000 chickens! Fingers crossed this works or i will be forking out for baytrill too!
