I've never had such a problem. I only heat with wood, haven't bought heating oil since 1991 so there is always piles of wood ash. Wet or dry the chickens go in itDoes anyone know if the wood ash will burn or irritate their skin if they get wet in the rain? I've heard the wood ash isn't a good idea if it gets wet, any thoughts?
everyone is getting along swimminglyin the duck pen. Pun fully intended. The Runners as always immediately went for a swim. I am seeing the Pekins go to the food bowl to eat, and right now one of the Pekin's is in the pool taking a swim. This is what I love about ducks. No pecking order issues. Well ok, just one of many things I like about ducks. I need more ducks
thanks! I have 4 to 6 year old RIR's still laying jumbo eggs several days a week.
No BDM..These are the real MaCoys. They start to lay when they are 8 months old..or older and lay well for 7 years or more.

well 1st I'll say the 1st thing is to try your best to raise them in a way they never get worms in the 1st place. Open spaces, not allowing them to live in their own droppings in the run etc. I have never had a chicken have worms in their droppings. As of the last few years I average 75 chickens in my flock. No worms. In the fall I give them broken pumpkins to eat...but in my heart I know this isn't why they don't have worms. They don't have worms because they free range a few acres every day no matter the weather.so what's the best way to naturally worm chickens. I have heard pumpkin seeds . Food grade DE . What works the best. we have had over 14 " of rain in a week and a half and I am noticing worms in the pooh. I may have to give them a true wormer but what else can be used?
