    Mouse solution

    I just have to say getting some high quality clove oil was a godsend. I really doubted it. They obviously cannot stand that stuff. Be liberal with it. Put it all around where they come in, run it along sides and corners. Make sure they've got to go through it to get anywhere. I just used the...

    Enrofloxacin Powder 20% dose

    Ok so I bought this to keep on hand. Not emergency at the moment, just trying to be prepared. Problem is dosing it in water is something I've never needed, waste of product. I prefer getting the right dose down the hatch no matter what animal I'm treating. I'd like to write it on the back of the...

    Horses

    So I have a hypothetical question for you who have horses. Say you grew up with horses. And now you don't have any. But you have a neighbor who does. They were left the house property and pets (with a trust fund for the animals) they live out of state and spend a total of probably about 2 months...

    How do you sell eggs?

    So I'm curious. I sell eggs to my clients here and there on the side. It's never been a whole lot though due to the amount of hens that I have. But I hatched out some new ones and I will be getting a lot more eggs when they start laying. I do have roosters so the eggs would most likely be...

    Finally!!

    After getting quite behind from hand surgery we finally got everybody in the new run! Still a few more details for play and enrichment to come. But the older girls, the April hatch and Raven and her babies are all together in one place! No more finding the older girls eggs stashes laying around...

    Awesome brooder

    I just have to say, after my third time using this for chicks and using it once for butterflies I absolutely love this thing! Now it would not be safe to put chicks in outside, and we have a box brooder with hardware cloth for that. And although it's large it's not as big as this. But we don't...

    Nutri-cal

    So one of my old ladies, Maybelline started hanging behind everybody. Still haven't really figured out what's wrong with her. She was looking bedraggled and very skinny, and was laying on her side and wouldn't stand up. But with no apparent signs of any kind of sickness I could zero in on. Gave...

    Rooster in the hen house question

    Okay so I've got my flock built up to where I want it for eggs. I've had three flocks in three different smaller coop/runs. One flock is 4 years old, except they got a new rooster last year so he's younger. Those are my original girls and I plan on keeping them in their own separate coop and run...

    She's worse than a rooster!

    This is the loudest most obnoxious chicken ever. Nothing wrong with her, she's healthy, eats and poops normal and lays everyday. This is taken from up on the porch so I'm not even close to her. This is how we spend every morning trying to drink our coffee. Because she wants to come out. It's...

    Separating babies from Mom

    So my chicken decided she wanted to be a mom. We were almost done with our large coop when I injured my hand and had to have hand surgery. So we're a bit behind. Because of that I've been letting them free range a lot and now I've got nine babies (born yesterday) I don't need. My neighbor said...

    Sexlinks

    Generally I am pretty good at research and understanding things. But I find the chicken genetics so confusing no matter how many times I read them. I looked through the threads and haven't been able to find my situation. It's always a cemani roo. But I have a cemani hen. I have one swedish...

    First time I let a hen...

    sit on eggs. I noticed her eggs missing. They are pink with white speckles so it's noticable. She's collected, I'd say 18 or so. My management has gone down due to surgery and I'm still recovering. I can't break this now. So we're gonna do it. Due on my birthday. I guess I'll just keep her...

    Diet for bebes

    Okay so I've always, since about 2 years in done medicated chick food. But I'm doing some reading on here and I'm understanding how useless that is before they are exposed to the environment it helps with. And it makes sense considering what I already know. So now I'm trying this. I'm starting...

    Dosage

    Okay so I had chicks hatch yesterday. One still had an empty yolk sack attached and brownish fluid in the egg. It's definitely not as peppy as the others. I've read this could be an infection? What would the dosage of amoxicillin be for a newborn baby chick?

    Old hen?

    I have a 5 something year old OE hen from tractor supply who's really slowing down. She has not laid an egg yet this year. The past few weeks she's been more clingy and hanging around the house and not keeping up with the ranging of the others. But otherwise eating and acting normal. The past...

    Need opinions!!

    Ok so on the NR360 I hate the flat bottom. Bowling was AWFUL on first hatch, pretty sure I lost a few due to this who were trying to get out but got exhausted from the best down. Used shelf liner after that and it helped some but not as much as hoped. What do y'all think about this tray WITH...

    Sniff sexing?

    Well this is cool. If dogs can smell cancer or insulin fluctuations, can they be taught to sex eggs? https://www.ucdavis.edu/food/news/sexing-chicken-eggs-scent
