I want to deworm my flock (100+). Starting with Wazine and following up with Safegaurd. What is the easiest way to give a Safegaurd to 100+ chickens?

Two nights ago a opossum found his way into our coop and attacked one of our roosters. He was recovering from bumble foot and was doing well, until the attack. I took him from the coop, gave him a quick check and separated him. The next morning I gave him a closer exam and noticed a small cut on...

If you are okay with used cartons, check your local grocery stores. They remove cracked eggs and replace with uncracked eggs. They then place the cracked eggs into empty carton and throw away. Just ask the dairy manager to save the cartons for you.

I had a problem with one of mine, similar to yours. The first thing I did was separate her from the others. Put her on chick starter for the added protein. Put vitamins and an antibiotic in her water. She back to herself in about 5 days. I kept her be herself for 10 days, along with the food...

Welcome. I am in North Florida. Not too far from Valdosta.

We lost half our flock last year. We thought it was a raccoon, but it turned out to be a mama fox.

It's always exciting when the young hens start to lay. Congrats!

I have 5 roosters that I need to remove from my flock. I am only removing them to start pure breed breeding. I have a Dominique/Rhode Island Red mix, hatched on 11.24.11. He is a beautiful boy, docile and has provided many hardy offspring. I also have a Barred Plymouth Rock/Easter Egger mix...

Awaiting to hear back from Efowl regarding their guarantee of sexing. I ordered pullets and out of 5, 3 are cockerels. To top it off only 4 are the breed I ordered. To be fair, I had ordered a total of 20 pullets and 17 were correct.

Two of my eggs have pipped. The grand kids aren't too interested as yet. As the hatch progresses I think they will get excited. I always get excited. This is so addictive.

Sounds great. Please post photos of your ducks when they hatch. My grand kids would love that.

I have 16 three week old chicks for sale. They are all mixed breeds. My breeding roosters are pure breeds, which are a Delaware, a Dominique and an Ameraucana. My breeding hens are also pure breeds, Rhode Island Red, Barred Plymouth Rock, Australorp, and an Ameraucana. The majority of the chicks...

I started with 23 eggs, 18 hatched, 1 died within an hour and 1 we had to put down due to a hip problem. I had a 78% hatch rate. Not my best, but not my worst either.

I set a few eggs in the incubator, so they will hatch during the grand kids visit. It will be their first viewing of hatching chicks.

I have about 800 sf of run and about 80 sf of roosting for 28 mature birds. Half the run has a metal roof and the other is a fenced roof.

Update. I received my chicks and all are growing into beautiful birds. I had ordered SLW and one of them is a GLW. I am not disappointed, but you expect to get what you order.

Here are a couple list of auctions in Florida. Just make sure they auction poultry and provide safe holding areas for the birds before and during the auctions. The one I use provides misters to help keep them cool...
