silkies08@yahoo.com.au These hens are eating NON MEDICATED ' 'LAUCKE RED HEN CHICK CRUMBLES.; It gives their feathers a lift! and noticeable helps with pest prevention,' BUT' when I have fed it, for more than two nights running,, the hens start getting aggressive. Each time, I have noticed a particular hen fighting with a few of the hens during the day, I have then found that particular hen dead the next morning.( Is it because she had eaten more crumbles, than the others, or because she has fought with too many hens on her own, during the day? But for what ever reason it was the crumbles that caused the fighting in the first place!! Which I find strange, as I have been told, Low Protein, causes cannibalism, in hens, So why are they fighting when fed high protein??, is it another ingredient in the feed, that is causing it?

Make sure your hens don't have access to 'Medicated' Chick Crumbles'.CA . Crumbles with medication in it by law has to have CA written somewhere on the bag, to show it is medicated, If you buy your chick food in any bag other than the large 30 kg bags with the writing all over it to warn you of it's use, then beware it is more than likely to be medicated.

I am being continually told by unsuspecting people that they are feeding all their animals on 'Ordinary Chick Crumbles' as it is cheaper and all their animals love it, not realizing that it is infect retagged medicated chick crumbles, in an unmarked bag. I immediately ask them if their 'Dog' is having trouble getting up after it has been lying down for any time, and by the look on their faces I can see their dog is, having trouble. Vets are making a lot of money operating on peoples dog's hip joints, and the people who I know, have let their dogs eat chook food have found their dogs are no different after the operation (because they are still suffering from the effects of the antibiotic,( which causes Flaccid Paralysis), from the chook food.)

'Dynamic Lifter' is made from chook poo and as the drug is not effected by heat processes or biodegradable ,then it is more than likely the reason dogs get sick after eating it! If your Feed Store Rebags the Chick Crumbles into Smaller Bags,, make sure it is not medicated with 'Lasalocid' or' Monensin'. You can read case histories on the internet. If you 'Google', 'Monensin'

If your Feed Store sells medicated chick crumbles and does not have the warning written on the smaller bag Please ask them to do so, for everyone's sake. It is illegal to sell the drug without a warning. People have a right to know, what they are using and the dangers. Beware of using chicken manure, from chicks that have been fed medicated food on your 'vegy garden 'or citrus trees!. It is not bidegradeable,ie it doesn't break down with time! It will always be there.

They feed cattle a reduced dose of lasalocid (Avatec), for size weight gain. While it is not found in the meat, it is found in the offell!!,manure and under the skin.They use offal for protein in chicken cube feed. It also stays in the skin of chickens. Maybe this is why they tell us not to eat chicken skin(, not because of the fat content?) A Vet years ago now told me never to feed a dog eggs as it can cause problems with their hips!!. Maybe the effect of' Monosin' in the eggs was known about ,but nobody pointed out that it was the antibiotic, that was the problem in the eggs not the egg,itself. You get a lot of comments of ' Don't Use a Certain Product' , but now one will say what they know is wrong with it , because the Cemical Companies are too big.

Since I have found out about the use of Avetec in feed lots,for weight and size gain, I now realize, this is the reason ,why I had a batch of pullets that grew over size, as I had kept them on the medicated chick crumbles to point of lay, not knowing about the dangers of the medication.

Not many of these pullets lay and the ones that have, have never had a live chick!! Pullets from the same lines fed on non medicated Pullet mix from 4 weeks of age to point of lay, are consistent layers.( Beware of 'Medicated Pullet Mixes') This could also be the reason they tell you not to breed from pullets until they are 2 years of age, giving it time to get out of their system.( The younger hens have egg shells that are too tough, which can starve the chick from oxygen and cause crippled chicks.(Word of mouth says the chicken farmers use medicated food up to when they are sold to make them grow quicker, but most of the birds are crippled by the time they are picked up for slaughter. There was a TV program on this but when I enquired to get more information, all sources deigned any involvement , and it was passed off, on the program, as being bad management by the farmer.But I have heard from Staff members that it is common for meat chickens to be crippled when they pick them up from the farms, but the same chickens if taken home by the staff and fed on normal food they grow OK.

If you let your hens brood the chicks, make sure the hen can't access the medicated chick crumbles. The old farmers wrote, that they kept the chick crumbles in a partitioned corner, or in a cage, that only the chicks could pass through the barrier to access the medicated crumbles. silkie08@yahoo.com.au

Hens that have eaten the medication can have embryos that die in the shell or infertile eggs, or as they get it out of their systems the chicks can have leg joint problems. I think this could be because it also prevents them from absorbing the nutriments in their food!,(needed for good bone,joint and connective tissue,developement.) beyond 4 weeks of age. If your hen's chicks are like this, try her again at a much later date!. I had breeders that had been fed 'Medicated Chick Crumbles',they took 2 years to get healthy chicks again, even though the breeders themselves were in top condition
