I have another question. How do they breathe if these pinless peepers are in their nostrils?

Hi everyone. Does anyone know where i can purchase pinless peepers? My chickens are devouring and picking feathers! My Rhodes are really getting picked on and I'm getting worried. Does anyone have any experience with putting these on and if they work? Thanks

Fermented feed. I was given a recipe on this board and it seems quite easy. Essentially you are just making a brew of their feed with warm water and ACV. When it starts to ferment, u feed them some every day. I don't have time today but am going to make a batch tomorrow. We shall see.

I'm going to try the FF that others swear by. Then I'm going to remove one roost so they aren't right close below each other. I hope this doesn't throw them into a tizzy

My 11 have layed their eggs every day in spite of the cold. They are 8 mths old.

Welcome Shesinthebarn. I'm west of London, Ontario. Sure has been frigid for our chicks chickens eh.

My chicks seem to be fine. I put in extra straw and hay. Small heater on for two nights.

Oh...I will go to our local country farm store to see what I can buy for mites. I have read also that wood ash is good for controlling mites?

Mites when it is freezing cold?

Happy New Year everyone! I'm turning a small heater on and off in my carriage house/chicken coop. They seem to be ok so far during this frigid weather in Southern Ontario. They have bare bottoms though! ! Can't figure out why.

Sunny here in Southern Ontario but very cold. Had a lovely light snowfall last night. Everything was covered in a light powder of snow. Very pretty. It's about -7 c. My chickens are cold but seem happy in their coop with a waterer that is slightly heated so water doesn't freeze. They...

I'm in southwest Ontario. :-)

HAPPY CANADA DAY to all !! from my chicks to yours.

Yes I heard that on the news about the snow in Newf. I'm in SW Ontario and it has suddenly gone down to 5c !! Oh brother. It had been 26C. Need a rain but just drizzling.

I can't believe how some people are so cruel and heartless! Creatures feel pain and sorrow. These people need to be locked up and the key thrown away.

Hello Elgin. Southwest Middlesex, Ontario here. :)

Eating from little plate of food. This morning I was heating up the brooder and when I checked later the thermometer was MELTING! . YIKES. Raised the lamp up.

I hope he makes it. I read that it could be travel stress and to give Nutri-Drench. It goes right into their system. Good luck.
