Yep. Makes sense to me. Do you ever have trouble with the sharp cut ends cutting your chickens? I know that they cut my hands up when I work around them. I use Ivermectin on my horse quite often, but I don't think I would feel comfortable using it on the chickens if there is a chance that...

I'll take your advice and get a digital scale for the chickens. I think that we will probably have to band our 5 Dominiques and 4 Buckeyes. They all look like each other. I would never be able to tell them apart. Our RIRs have different combs as do our Orpingtons. So no problem there keeping...

At what age should chickens be wormed and how often? Our hens are almost a year old and have never been wormed and are free ranged. Which I am sure means that they have some sort of worms. Thanks.
