Guest youngzimmy Posted January 2, 2010 Report Posted January 2, 2010 correct me if iam wrong but does layers pellets not contain antibiotics? AYE AND WHAT WOULD BE THE PROBLEM WITH THAT DO YOU THINK
holmsidelofts Posted January 2, 2010 Report Posted January 2, 2010 correct me if iam wrong but does layers pellets not contain antibiotics? AYE AND WHAT WOULD BE THE PROBLEM WITH THAT DO YOU THINK yeah most of the chicken layers pellets contain anti coccidiosis treatment. What you have to remember is cocci is host specific and chickens dont transmit cocci to pigeons and vice versa, so the anti cocci treatment isnt designed to kill cocci in pigeons. Thats the reason i use gem pellets. i dont want to be giving my birds chemicals that they dont need. and the quality of the corn used in chicken pellets aint always the highest. Gem is designed for racing pigeons. I will be using gem 10 mixed with versalaga breeding ( not sure if thats how its spelt, dont look right to me but it might be the stella im drinking, lol). I will be putting calf colostrum on the corn a couple of times a week also. Grit and minerals everyday, with a good multivit once a week. normall feed barley for a few weeks prior to pairing to get the fat off the hens. then put them on good corn about 2 weeks before pairing. once all hens have laid they will be on 50% barley 50% breeding untill about hatching time. will them be on 100% breeding mix which is 50% gem pellets, 50% breeding mix. Will treat the stock birds for canker whilst they are siting on eggs. jas.
holmsidelofts Posted January 2, 2010 Report Posted January 2, 2010 they used to u cant get them know you still can, as of last year they were still layers pellets with anti cocci in them, thats why i stopped feeding them.
