If you've got matrix a little every day,shouldn't need any other stuff matrix as it all in it.

[Guest Davy Fleming]

Back to the guessing game again and could be many things but I would be looking at the old problem of either Bacterial or Fungal probs . Wouldn't be any doubt in my mind

[Guest shippy]

agree with big bok sounds like cocci or some other form of stress

have the young birds got waterey dropings if not dont worry if they have get rid of them separate old birds get droppins tested or get them tested to give you pease of mind

[Guest frank dooman]

i must have every thing wrong i would think the last thing you would want to do when the droppings are loose isgive them stuff to make them drink more i would give a little origo stim in the water maybe some electrolites or garlic but i think sometime they get a bit excited on the 1st nest of the season JMO
