2 of the leghorn pullets had roosted in the apple tree this evening, and did not look very comfortable. I was going to let them stay, but decided not to let them start the habit. Moved them to Onyx's coop, but one came back out. I closed them in so they couldn't go back in the tree. I revamped...

Surprised you didn't notice a smell before now.

Won't be a pile for long. They are such great tractors, aren't they? Piles of anything don't ever last long around them. Raking leaves is futile.

Looks like a fantastic supplement. UK has different products. Onyx laid an egg yesterday, and she is back to her old self. Mystery illness for sure.

Not sure. I have Rooster Booster. What ingredients are in the ones you have?

Yes, and yes. Got 'em bad! Hopefully this will solve the issue. Saw a few today, but they were out in the open, unlike before yesterday. I hope no one gets them. I wouldn't wish these on my worst enemy, no, maybe I would. 🕷🕷🕷

No, they weren't on her. Should I spray her and the rest if the hens as well? I only have red mites, thankfully not NFM.

Only one?

Oh, what a day! Decided enough is enough. Unscrewed the panels and windows off the coop and found a gazillion mites. :rantFirst I took my heat gun to them, then bought some permethrin to spray everything. Death to all mites!!!!! What the heat gun didn't fry, the spray.killed the ones in the wood...

Can't remember where you are located. Is she acting normal and eating otherwise? Hope she is not ill. How old is she?

No attempts at crowing yet, I suppose. What breed are these beauties?

Yesterday filled both feeders, which were empty. Changed our the shavings for the pullet coop, and did a branch cleanup in the run. The pullets did not need an adjustment period to work the treadle, and they are treat trained. So fun to see them stampeding through the fenced run to come to the...

I once found a small bird, dead and hanging in the netting. None since then.

So glad he is ok, and your doctoring got him there. What kind of netting is in your coop? So scary when we find our kids in distress. Velma from last year had gotten caught in netting that was hanging close to the ground, and sprained something in her leg. She hobbled/limped a little for a...

Yesterday while on the back deck talking to my friend I noticed one of my black pullets caught in the netting, and she was stuck mid air as if in a hammock. I rushed down, and DH helped me by cutting the netting away. She had abrasions on the underside of her wing, there was a little blood on a...

I love the wallpaper! Such a wonderfully crafted coop! Mites don't like paint? I may need to disassemble and paint if that works.

He needs a course in chicken math, obviously.

:welcome Welcome to this thread as we are a fun, and sometimes serious group who loves to share life and chicken raising adventures, support each other through hardships, and laugh together, sometimes at each other. Chicken math is a serious subject. One equation not included should be that all...

They are beautiful and growing up so fast. Only time will tell. Do these get the sharp hackle and saddle feathers? What will you do with all these roos?

What does the O stand for? Maybe I got a breed that the hatchery has a different name for? You know your breeds. I love their feathered feet. Didn't know until I got them.
