    How do I kill ants in and around chicken coop?

    I tried Amdro years ago but it is made from corn and chickens, goats & other animals really like to eat it. My chickens were eating it as fast as I put it out until I realized why they were following me. None got sick or had any reactions but I haven't used it since. From the company (BASF)...

    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    I do use craigslist, I find it easier to work with than FB. I also don't need to watch it as closely as FB because it all goes to email. Also the scammers are pretty noticeable. Actually they can be pretty funny: one scammer wanted me to mail him some goats...

    I was offline for some months now, trying to gently step back in. HaydenGoseek, I am very sorry for the loss of your wife. I am sure she is missed on the forum. I was not aware that y'all were married. I confess...Ursuline Chick? I guess I figured that she was a nun.😟

    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    I took a computer break, shut down FB and realized that I was still online an awful lot with some forums so I shut it all down for a while. I am getting better adapted to retirement. The chicken and goat population are getting a little out of hand so I just took sales pictures and am about to...

    Winter is coming...What is left on your to-do list?

    Sorry about the waterer! I have often wondered why chickens moult when they do. Maybe because they should be fat from summer forage so they have enough mass to stay warm while they swap out feathers? I am sure there's some kind of evolutionary answer.

    Winter is coming...What is left on your to-do list?

    So I had to look up "Mast Year". "Every few years, some species of trees and shrubs produce a bumper crop of their fruits or nuts. The collective term for these fruits and nuts is 'mast', so we call this a mast year." So I learned something! Not a term I have heard down here in the south. My...

    Winter is coming...What is left on your to-do list?

    I have used those screws in the past, they are great. My local hardware guy suggested this: to attach the corrugated sheets to this: Which is already tacked on the coop top. It's a small extra coop so I can test it out. If it starts toseparate, I can add screws later.

    Winter is coming...What is left on your to-do list?

    Although our winters are generally mild, I still have to do a little prep. I have to reroof one of the smaller coops. I have a fraying tarp on it now (I know, I was being lazy) I noticed all the tiedowns are swinging freely in the breeze so it's past time. I usually use corrugated wood strips...

    What is y'all's favorite chews to give your dogs?

    With 5 dogs, 3 over 100# each, I buy chews based on price per ounce, closeouts and specials. One of the 35 pound dogs has basically no teeth so I buy her soft treats. Jerky treats and basic Milk bones are the only constants. None of my dogs like Greenies at all.

    "Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

    I just noticed that the number of ads had dropped. I kind of want to sell the lavender orpingtons I have. I just got rid of the last of this year's sale goats so maybe I'll go ahead and list the orps. Maybe one older hen who enjoys pecking the crap out of me when I open the gate.
