    Spoke to Elanco regarding Elector PSP

    Update: I looked for new approvals and didn't find anything so called ELANCO and this may be where the confusion lies....it is approved for NORTHERN FOWL MITES ONLY in poultry (and control of flies /darkling beetles in poultry and other farm animal housing). My chickens have had regular old...

    Spoke to Elanco regarding Elector PSP

    I contacted ELANCO on for chicken data about 10 months ago and they told me they have no data and no recommendation. I will have to check again if the study has been published, approval and dosing are now available.

    Comment by 'Colorful egg carton' in article 'Window Fan Mount'

    My "hot chicken" tips DH put a solar powered fan (like we use in the greenhouse) in the peak of our coop. (He says "based on the (?fan size/speed/i am not sure what really) the air in the coop is changed out 12 times per hour". He also added a flip up/flip down hook above the coops back window...

    Starlight Green Eggers Progress Pics and Breed Discussion

    Uncovered run floor covering

    Oh, they love those rubber chips! I got a bunch free from older couple taking down swingset. Removed wood bark mulch from my peony and rose beds, loosened soil, fertilized, watered, put down new landscape cloth and laid down 4 inches of black rubber mulch. My front yard looked great! 3 days...

    A different take on ventilation

    I need the perfect hot and cold climate coop. Kansas 111 high last summer and I think -12 the low with a howling 40 mph wind so far this winter. Wait..... do I need TWO coops?? One at each end of the hoop run??? I am all about it, but will require hard evidence to convince DH! Seriously, Woods...

    Easy way to check for drafts?

    This seems to work for me...head lamp with a red light option. It doesn't seem to bother them in the coop and it doesn't seem to draw as many bugs to me during the summers.

    My Hoop Coop

    We built a very similar hoop coop several years ago with an easy clean drop door in the wooden sleeping quarters, a storage compartment that holds the water tank for the nipple system and misc. stuff. We borrowed heavily from Carolina Coops and a YouTube version we really admired. It moved as a...

    I have never seen a chicken house that didn't have a preferred box!! And I don't know how they pick the "good" one...I watch them run back and forth from the blackberry bushes all day with their knees together hoping the nest on the far right is finally available!! Some of the younger layers...
