I have a 16x12 coop and a free range yard of 80x30.

I would like to speculate about the feather picking. Since I have a large flock of 100 and am experiencing increasingly aggressive behavior and lots of picking. I have read numerous responses and believe that there is not a single answer or solution. I have also tried all of the suggestions to...

Could it be diahrea, where the white is ammonia build up?i

Only responding to original post of owners statement of food grade and what that implies. I said it has a hard time killing fleas not that it wouldnot. Sorry it seems I ruffled feathers, but the bottom line is if they are reacting, maybe some of it should be taken off. This will be my last...

Wanted to keep this post current if I could to get a response. Anyone have input before I sign off?

I was going to guess a black sex link as well. I think the black sex links are a cross between an Astrolorpe and a Rhode Island Red. could be wrong, but this one has a little more red, but not much.

8 young chicks all with similar eye disorder. Considered amonia toxicity. . . could be, but the other 500 seem to be fine. Can't find Opthalmic salve available. Don't know if it would work. Eye is not blistered, just swollen, very irratated some watery. Maybe older bird picking at eye...
