We have seen mice in the chicken area in the past. We started storing their food in a metal trash can and the food is elevated but not hanging. I have notice this past week that there is food all over the coop floor, I filled the container yesterday and it looks like 90% has been dumped out...

Thank you! I can't believe I didn't think of vetecyrin, I use it for my dogs and have a new bottle. The coop/run are kind of one, the side that the coop attaches to the run is about a 3 x 6 foot opening (the run that attaches on that side is 10 foot) so they have access to the entire area at...

Thank you, I'm hoping someone will be able to help guide me on what to do, I feel like there's 20 different directions I can/should/could go. We've never had anything like this happen. At first I thought the egg decline was protest about the new nesting boxes but obviously that wasn't the...

I saw something awhile back but haven't followed it closely. We are out of the city limits, which is why I got a few chicks from Tractor Supply a few years ago and then ordered some online from cackle, then Ideal, chicken math at its finest! Lol There's a guy out your direction that's starting...

We're in Odessa

Darn it!

I try so hard not to pick favorites with chicks because when I do, they either turn out to be a cockerel (in a breed I don't need a cockerel from) or something happens to it. I haven't been able to keep a silkie safe yet... So, is my favorite chick out of 50 that was narrowed down to 15, a...

Any guesses? Black sexlink pullet? As a chick it was mostly black, clean legs, standard size (almost 6 weeks old). [/IMG][/IMG]

It's the first day all 16 girls have all laid!
