    Vent Gleet Question

    I had two chickens with vent gleet. Very sure from the smell that was what it was. I treated them with Monistat, and it cleared up nicely. Now, I have about eight chickens with it.

    Not Calico Princesses

    I have always had good results when purchasing from TSC. However, I bought 4 chicks that were supposed to be calico princesses . But they are about 3 months old and they are all solid white. They have green/ grey legs and no beards or muffs. Do calicos come in solid white? I didn’t think so!

    Hens Running Rooster

    I brought home a bantam cochin rooster last year and added to my standard flock of 20 hens. They accepted him and he is a good protector.

    Oyster Shell Options

    I feed my girls eggshells and oyster shell. They love the eggshells, not so much the oyster shell. I buy Manna Pro; are there any other alternatives (that won't break the bank)? Manna Pro seems a little big for them. They eat the small pieces and waste the larger ones. We can't eat enough eggs...
