I think this should be made into a sticky. This is great information for newcomers.


I also have one more suggestion: it would be extremely helpful if, after receiving assistance and perhaps problem resolution, posters would edit their titles to reflect this fact (when it becomes a LONG thread).


An example might be changing the title of the post from:  "Urgent- chicken eggbound,"  to "Chicken eggbound- problem resolved see post #197."


That way folks don't read through many pages of information trying to offer an opinion, only to find out that the problem has been resolved (hey, it's happened to me!).

I have horses and am introducing chickens who will free-range with my horses.  Where would you suggest I post questions about raising them together?  Could this be a new forum topic?  I am especially interested in the chickens eating things from fresh poop (like undigested corn) and the manure pile....do I need to dispose of horse manure off the property if the horses have been wormed and/or have had antibiotics?  I use a feed through fly reducing product and called the company about introducing chickens, they said they use the same ingredient in a similar product for chicken but had no research on chickens raised with horses on their product or visa-versa..... I am still nervous about eating the eggs?  Point me to the right forum and I will post what I just wrote!  lol  Thanks!  And yes, I am brand spanking new to the site.
