You are a wealth of information! ♥️ My question is for use in a sand floor coop… I have a poop hammock but some droppings escape… the chickens love to dig, sand bath and eat the grit in the sand. Is there any concern with adding this to the sand / sprinkling the Sweet PDZ around the coop sand...

So the beauty of eating this way is how satiated I am- I literally (for the first time in 20 yrs of sickness/doctors/medicines) don’t care about going back to eating any of the carbs or whatever. If I am hungry- I eat- and a steak & eggs or shimp sounds fantastic to me! If it doesn’t sound...

Your encouragement is so appreciated., my chickens and I are forever in your debt. 🥰

I lost 80 lbs switching to a plant-free high fat/medium protein/zero carb diet. Also reversed a myriad of 20+ years of debilitating illnesses including Hypertension, pre-diabetes, IBS, hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, psoriasis, depression, plantar’s fasciitis, sun-intolerance and more! #carnivore...

My head is spinning. I read through 14 pages of this thread… Situation: Lost 13 of my flock over the past 3 months. PCR results confirmed ALV & Marek’s today… I don’t want to cull. FYI, The vaccinated chicks were 90% of the deaths. I now have 22 (5 roos + 17 hens) and all are in...

How do you get a chicken to swallow a tablet- into her beak?? Would I break it up first?

Has Flora made a full recovery? I found this thread because I am on day 3 off dealing with this issue with my one of my 3 month old Lavender Orpingtons.. same symptoms. 🥰

The two free-ranger roos grew up with the big ole Lavender Americana, but were too “rambunctious” for the 7 remaining hens. We have since added a few dozen pullets (one turned out to be a little roo 🙄). We want to put them all together now that the hens are all getting mature. They dance along...

I have 2 free ranging roosters I need to integrate with an older/gentler bigger Americana roo also. Hoping now that they arent so young and full of “vim & vigor” it will be easier. I have more hens now too so 4 roosters might have less tention. 😬 I could use advice too.

Okay- found the answer 😅 https://the-chicken-chick.com/whats-scoop-on-chicken-poop-digestive/

Forgive my ignorance.. what is cecal poop?

I got a reversable access HenGear one I am getting ready to install… I’ll let you know how they like it.

Does the chick food/chick waterer need to be protected from the rest of the flock? My adult birds seem to devour it otherwise.. I have my brooder still occupied with 4 week old chicks and their surrogate Serama-mama… then the biological silky mother became broody right after & I moved her to...

So happy to hear she got better! My chicken is listless and droopy- like yours. Did she recover fully and have you had any other flock issues?

I have chickens exposed to marek’s disease- have lost 3 so far 😰 one more showing symptoms… I know it is a cancerous “chicken type herpes” so would lemon balm/Melissa oil help? Melissa oil cured my cold sores wondering if it would help the chickens. Also, turmeric + pepper is supposedly good for...

Dang weeds are taking over! Big fire hazard in a month or so.. can’t mow ground has some boulders/rocks 🥴.. really hoping the vinegar solution works!

How long does the tarp take to kill that patch?

Our ground is not flat enough to mow them.. and there are big rocks too 🥴

SAME here!!! Have you thought of (or tried) the vinegar based weed killer at the Depot?- probably a DIY recipe online… I am going to test it. I wonder if anyone has experience with it.

We have the same problem. Our goats won’t even eat them enough to make a dent. We have about 2 acres with waist high weeds and I am trying to figure out what to do to get rid of them as they pose a high fire hazard once they die on their own. I don’t want the husband to spray roundup as he has...
