I can try the fake owl but what is a shinny spinner?

Hi All, I have had chickens for a few years but still consider myself a newbie since nothing ever seems to happen to my small flock. I found pigeons in m coop several weeks ago and then the girls had Coccidia, which was passed on to my dogs who love to eat the chicken poop. I only found out...

They are up at the crack of dawn and making a huge fuss. I will start your way today and see if that works. Boy will they be pissed....when they are out and my patio door opens, the entire flock comes a flapping and running...quite entertaining.

This was a great way of showing exactly how to administer medicine for a chicken. I haven't needed to do it yet and hopefully not for a long time but now I know the correct way, its a huge relief knowing this is out there.

Verm-X can be found on Amazon.. I was just reading about it for the same reason. Is there a specific season for worms..I don't know but it sure seems like it...

I have tried both Pellet and Crumble (which should really be called dust or powder) and I am wondering if there is a way to reduce the waste. I use a hanging feeder for my 7 ladies and no matter which type I put in their feeder, at least 50% ends up on the ground. My current food is Syfrett's...

Thank you!, I honestly didn't think of CL for that. but I checked and did find some.

Hi All, I am in Merritt Island Florida and I am looking to add to my existing flock. Not many places actually have hens in stock just baby chicks and I was wondering If anyone on this site is local and would know where else I can go. The farm & feed stores are out and so are a lot of the...
