Chickens and fowl question
Chickens and fowl question
I have a variety of chicken breeds as well as some other birds (peafowl guinea fowl, turkey, geese) at my place in Kep. I am new to this so dont have an insight in to what medications/vaccinations I should be giving them to prevent health issues moving forward.
Any help and insight on to what medications are necessary, frequency, dosage, etc would be greatly appreciated, plus any source of the medication in Phnom Penh, Kep or Kampot (I am usually in PP) if known would be great
Many thanks in Advance

Do not keep the chickens and turkeys together. there is a disease chickens get which does not kill them but will rip through turkeys like coronavirus on speed. farmer friedn told me wild fowl are much more resistant to disease and need less medication unless you are intending to eat them

I'm looking for a couple of female Guinea fowl in kampot to replace some which were killed. The cock is very lonely. Do you have any spare?

I have 3 hatchlings but they are still too young to sex. I will update on how they turn out. Alternatively they do advertise on Khmer24 from time to time but no idea of location.
I thought Guinea fowl were monogamous and mated for life so not sure if your male would do the business with any new ladies?

Don't expand and go to big till you know what your doing, I ventured into ducks on advise from girl and family friends a total disaster when I found out the difference between boy and girl ducks .
I had mostly boy ducks worthless hahaha gotta laugh at myself mostly for being naive.

Only worthless when you go to sell them . When you go to buy them , cooked, on a plate with rice or soup, then they are expensive.atst wrote: ↑Thu Jun 18, 2020 6:36 am Don't expand and go to big till you know what your doing, I ventured into ducks on advise from girl and family friends a total disaster when I found out the difference between boy and girl ducks .

Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Re: Chickens and fowl question
I brought a load of hatching eggs over from the UK of different varieties of chicken and am surprised I ended up with so many cocks. Does time to incubation or temperature prior to incubation have any effect on the outcome of the sex?

Re: Chickens and fowl question
Yeah, that would be great thanks. I'm down here now and could collect (even the young ones). She wants them for keeping the small snakes down. I don't know about their breeding habits, only chicken and duck.
