Best I've read/viewed yet! My baby chicks arrived with one dead and another dying for being keep in a cold post office. They should make provisions, not just tossed anywhere in the building. This article is very helpful to me if I decide to start shipping birds.

This thing about snakes in or around the hen house. I heard that placing moth balls around an area (on the outside of pen), that you want to be snake free, actually deters the snakes, they can't stand moth balls. Not sure how far apart they need to be. We don't have a snake problem on our farm so we haven't tried them out.

Love your articles! Very informative and helpful!

Thanks! And I know the rooster would likely kill a snake, but with the whole coop floor covered with chicken wire, under the sand and leaves, I doubt if one could get in. Snakes want the eggs but we get them every day, too.
