Thank you so very much! I have always gotten great advice and info on this site... hence why i asked before doing this time! The ivermectin was a good speel.. for all in one!! But sounded too easy for everyone not doing it?? Thank you again. Time for our deep clean 6 mos treatments for...
Some just rave about ivermectin saying one thing takes care of everything, worms, scaly leg mites, and mites.
Whole others have strong opinions that ivermectin should not be used on chickens.
How do you decide? One article i read for using ivermectin was a DVM. So, i need some opinions from...
Too late now.. but for later.. there is a starter kit about $25 [[about 3 to 4 yrs ago when we purchased]] can get several places online or at tractor supply stores that has everything you need for chicks... water/feeder/warming light fixture and red bulb. And a couple packets of electrolytes to...
We use 3 gallon waterers sitting on 2 cinderblocks and never have had one turned over. We get over 100 some days in summer and 90s reularly. On hot days we give them clean cool water in the morning. Then around 11 to noon we put a 2 liter bottle that is frozen water and put it inside waterer to...
The easiest is to use an all flock feed. It is enough protein for growers. It works for birth to old age. We add a crushed oyster shell in the pen. The hens will eat it as they need. The young ones ignore it and the roosters ignore it because they do not need it.. we use the purina all flock...
Howdy! Still wanting to get cams to watch my chix ... so was reading up on these you sent. I was trying to see if i could understand enough about ot to be able to use it. Our youngest..son.. is very smart on this stuff but his job takes him all over the world.. he told me he would get home...
Howdy! Read your response about cams. Have thought about those before ... what are the best ones to get? How far can you see beyond the pen? I am not very savvy with the electronics of today.. hahaha being older than dirt i just wasnt sure how easy it is to set up. Thank you. Have a...
Thank you so much! We had the thought to leave it alone for awile longer but were unsure it was ok since the girls were not happy! With your suggestion i feel it will be fine to let it alone for some time!
Maybe he wasnt fond of her ""bed head"" look since all the other girls look like they keep their locs neat? after being with her alone he realized you cant judge a book... uh a chick by her cover ... and loved her for her real self not the feather deep stuff!?!?
we purchased 14 day old pullets and 1 day old cockerel in feb 2022. This rooster grew up with our girls and all was fine. This march some of the hens went broody and raised chix. the first 8 born there was 5 boys!! When momma hen was ready to go back to the big pen her little chix followed her...
Our hatchlings are 3 months old. At what age will they be when the rooster (dad) notice them as cockerels and will fight with them? They will need to be separated so as not to be hurt or worse.. not sure what age to be watching for?
Thank you..
If i have posted in wrong forum i apologize...
Was asking about the covers because my roo has began causing places on the hens from them. At first it was taking all the feathers off their back. Of 12 hens there are 4 this has happened to. Now his spurs have grown and gotten sharp points and a couple of the hens are getting a bruise color on...
