I was so excited when I got my first egg from my hens. Congrats..

5/10 1/10 from my new girls little egg

I have been reading up on lice, and mites . Best idea yet I have found is put chicken in a trash bag head sticking out and shake with what ever it is your dusting with in the bag. De, seven ect.

Good luck. I has a rat so bought a big rat trap. 8 dollars guaranteed to kill on contact. 2 days later hear thump thump thump . No more rat or trap . Guess he took it with him. At least for now he is gone. As is the trap.

Thank you was able to find my state group. I appriciate the info .

thanks for all the information . 95/98 % wow. I am going to think about it before I make any decissions. Either build a 2nd coop or make a brooder room for baby chicks.was told to put some diamacious earth in nesting box for lice . Need to read up on that more.

Can't imagine the mess you had. Had a coop issue and put 2 hens in outside restroom. 3 days and oh my . Poo poo poo

I do not have a rooster. I do have a hen that acts like one thou. I do not have room to quarantine . Do you recommend purchase of hens from a reputable hatchery?

coop is 10×23 foot 700 Sq foot yard to run. Quarantine might be hard to keep . Maybe I should brooder new pullets. Thanks for the feedback don't want my hens to get sick.

Question ?? A guy from my job has 10 leghorn Hens about a 1 1/2 years old. I have 10 hens now. Do you think it would be a good idea to join them . Going rate is $10-20 for a laying hen. He is offering for $8 a piece. Current in coop 6 rhoad island red 2 leghorn. 1 buff 1 americauno.

they seem to get along for the most partnow that they have determined the pecking order.
