Just curious what other methods have you tried. Might try this, but still hesistant. I want to know the ingredients

Question: What exact product do people use with pyrethin for lice? I have seen some that are only like .05% to 1%. Is there another product that I can get in the US that has a higher pyrethrin content? Thanks

So I moved to the country a year ago. I expected predators, but not like this. I have a free range flock, that free ranges on about an acre by my house. The magpies have memorized all our habits and the chickens behavior- like they are always stalking the chickens in the trees. No matter where...

You'll have to keep us posted to how they do for you. I just raised a cornish x and I know they vary a bit by producer, but never want to do it again. I've been on the fence about freedom rangers, heard mixed things and then read this...

There is growing distrust of gmos all over the world. It is not "hype," but based on their own experiences and yes there are many people with genetic degrees who support this. Contracts in China and other countries are not being renewed. GMOs are wrecking havoc in many ways and failing to...

Could not agree with you more. My first birds are 5 years old and I have been doing them in. They have ovarian cancer and it's quite common among gmo eaters. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jeffrey-smith/genetically-modified-soy_b_735528.html. I have been studying this for while but did not expect...

Here are two roos . They are a few months old, definitely roos- very vocal lol. Got them from a feed store. Guesses?

Sorry pics aren't any better, but the wouunds are exactly symmectrial and that's the way he came out

Hey ya'll. Its my second time incubating. Six chicks have hatched. But one came out nicely, but was soaked and had fluid and a bit of yolk still left. I left him in the bator to dry out, but noticed his legs seemed to not function. Took him out a few hours later. That was Friday. It's Sunday...

Out west here, there is something called "Redmond Real Salt." It is mined in Utah and comes in loose mineral or natural chunks of salt with minerals. It is high in betonite clay so has many naturally occurring minerals that both nourishes and cleanses as the body needs and many people swear by...

So it was my first time incubating in a circulated air Farm Innovators. One chick hatched on time on day 21. The rest of the eggs were clear except two. I thought they may have died because I heard they could not hatch past day 24, today. When I broke the two open and did some research they...

Welcome!

Ya incubators can be complicated. Don't count on them working. My first time right now is a disaster

Just found this, https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/43241/internal-egg-temp-vs-air-temp so maybe its normal for the digital to run lower but mine is still lower than hers

Ok I am incubating for the first time with a Farm Innovators 4200 forced air. Eggs just went in the bator and I know not to use the crappy thermometer it came with, couldn't even calibrate it very well so I ordered a glass Brinsea and also one of the spot check digitals and got a water wiggly...
