Score is right! I bought some for my plants and they weren't cheap. They do make clip on grommets, which we use and like.

This is an old thread, but I wanted to add that I also use a canopy tent frame (10x 20, I think) to support part of the netting. Our pen is about 25x 36 with a greenhouse along the long end. We inserted T-posts into the ground, then slid the poles of the tent frame over them. It is very...

They’re so big, about the last 10 years we’ve only had bantams. Thank you!

I had to put them in a cage while I cleaned their coop, no sign of blood there

I saw this in my 7 week chicks poop, they’re Ameraucana and already large and adorable! We bought them March 4 and they have been on non-medicated starter.

Regarding that article, it's pretty obvious the writer isn't a native english speaker, there are many articles like this and they are mostly clickbait. So I'd stick to the permethrin

I'd also like to know. @Aubasaur We had a broody hen hatch out a sweet little chick this week. A few days later we found out they both had lice and the chick died. Now I'm trying to clean and disinfect, I feel so terrible.

I would like to know if there is any update about the miserable bugs or treating the chickens.

I'm so glad your Tweety is doing better, and thanks for the update. Nice to know what has worked for some. We just lost a new chick to mites today, it was horrible, they were crawling all over her face. I looked at her mom and her vent is covered with them! I usually dust with DE every time...

He is a beauty. I've heard of hens crowing and acting like a rooster when there aren't any males around, but I don't know it that is true or not. I had to laugh when I saw a photo of him, our first batch of chicks had some bantams, and one, Mousey, was a beautiful silver color. And oh how he...

Likely a hawk, I went out by my chickens once and a rooster was out of the pen and was fighting with a hawk. They were jumping at each other like 2 roosters. I yelled and threw something, my rooster looked at me, and the hawk got him, but then flew away. The only mark on the rooster was a...

We have a pen about 36 by 20, with the Lowe's bird netting over it. It's been there for years and the only problem with it is snow building up on it in the winter. After trying every rope and twine out there, I finally bought some fishing line , a roll at Walmart is $2 and I got the highest...

Now you have to build the horse a cool house! And one for me.... My sister's husband built a "tree house", (not in a tree) maybe 10x10 up on stilts, with steps, porch and loft, for their kids. Now that the kids are older, she has re-purposed into a "she- house", for those times she needs some...

She is one tough lady, good for you to fight for her. Prayers.

Neosporin was a wonder drug when one of our hens had a horrific injury like that.

I didn't get a photo but will keep an eye on the pen and try to get a photo. It looks just like a small hard boiled egg- oval, and maybe 1 to 1-1/4 inch on the longest side. thanks, I'll look through those links.

Keep doing what you're doing, we had a hen attacked and we had to push her head down for quite a while until she recovered and started drinking on her own. Make sure there aren't any punctures anywhere, if they are keep them clean and use a clean finger to push some neoporin into the wound...

When I bring my girls out in the morning, and change the newspaper under their perch, I've been finding some round, light yellow balls that sort of look like hard boiled yolks. I've never seen this before and am a bit worried. The birds seem healthy otherwise, although their stool is a bit more...

Here is our outdoor pen. It has posts at the gate and the corners. One side of the pen is our greenhouse. Our "soil" is actually rock, and to dig a hole for a post takes hours, so hubby used t-posts. The fencing isn't chicken wire but it wasn't horribly expensive. We have woods all around...

I wish some of the people that had this problem would come back and post what happened with their chicks! It seems like we often read of problems, but not how they turn out.
