Looks a little different. Used to be a shaker. I solved my water problem by hot gluing the top underside for a seal Seems this stuff can be used or added to coop bedding to stop gnat breeding? I have a small raised 4x4 coop for 5 hens. My bedding is soft hemp and I mix it everyday because they...

I use mosquito bits in my French drains to prevent. I have a waterer that doesn't have a seal around time top & if I miss one day changing water mosquito larva are in it. If mosquito bits are safe for chickens can I put a few in the gallon of water to stop this?

Well that explains why mine keeps jumping on top nesting box roof sqwaking 🤣. We eventually put a nesting box on the roof & now she lays there(the sister, I have 2) One of them sounds like a duck😅

The bully is relentless but was our sick baby runt so we love her. We did indeed just add alternate nesting box. We now have 5 boxes for 5 chickens🤣. She actually laid one today. Idk of I helped but when she went in the coop squaking I gave her lots of verbal encouragement. 🤷‍♀️

I have a Wyandotte who got her neck feathers plucked by Barred Rock bully. She stopped laying for about 2 weeks but continued to be noisy like she does before laying. So I soaked her in warm water with Epsom salt, dried her off and bam, she laid for 5 days. Now she has stopped again but is...

Worm that gets in the throat causing frequent "gagging" Idk much more. But ivermectin paste works

I will. I just grabbed her and I don't see any on her. I see quite a few new feathers I guess? Kinda looks like porcupine spikes. Also I did hear a little more gurgle but nothing like before. And an occasional cough I guess...it's not a sneeze, I've heard those. I'll check the roost after dark...

Ok. So I just need to make sure she doesn't have mites

Now.

I keep the coop cleaned. I even rake out poop from the run daily or every other day We did just have 3 windy (very) cooler days & nights here in San Antonio

She no longer sounds gurgly after 1 dose of colloidal Silver & 1drop Vetrx oral, also applied to comb & waddles. Weird? Or have I caught it really early? She's out foraging now.

No. Her sister just came off being broody. This one never has

18% No mucus or eye bubbles she sounds gurgly, and that started today. But before that I noticed she was sitting separately , with the others sitting near her for a few hours mid day.

Wow!!! I ordered the med on the link. Thank you so much. I'm going to stop the auto delivery of meal worms. I tried to take over giving only a handful per day when I realized he was giving 5 hens 3 cups a day!!! And yes they seem underweight to me

Just thought I would try colloidal Silver first. It helped one last year with breathing problem but this sounds different. The other was hoarse. This is absolutely a gurgle
