I used bird netting around the bottom of my coop/run on the out side. Snakes can't get in they get caught in it and die. I had to set a big rat snake free the other day.

My chicks are 7 weeks old. It's been really hot here so I wanted to keep the Electrolytes going. They have only been in the coop/run for a week. They seem to be settling in ok. I have decided to start them on fermented feed this weekend so probably won't need the ACV. Thank you.

So I've been using Durvet Vitamins-Electrolytes in my chicks water since day. Can I add ACV to water as well? Do I need to offer it in separate watering dish? Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I'm new to chickens and I keep my brooder box at the office since I'm there more than I'm home. But I grew lettuce & swiss chard in a flower box and put it in with them. They wiped it out in 2 days but still love scratching in the dirt. They are 3 weeks and I plan on keeping them here until 6...

These are my ISA from Hovers

Local feed store had asst baby chicks from Ideal Hatchery. I thought this ne looked liked my ISA Browns but now I'm not sure the rest are plan yellow. approximately 10 days old - Opinions please

I'm big into offshore fishing I have a 47' Bertram and fish the rigs in the gulf! I did get to the chance to fish with Dave Marciano, from Wicked Tuna - Had a blast! making Memories!

Yes I can buy local chicks about the same age but they don't carry the same breed.

The chicks spent 3 days in the mail, I received them at 10:30 yesterday morning. 2 arrived half dead. I know it's my first time but I've done my homework and I am vigilant to the point of OCD. The brooder is 30" x 50", 95 under the heat lamp and 78 at the coolest point. the chicks don't huddle...

So yesterday I got 10 ISA Brown chicks but I lost 2 and 1 more might not make it. I read that ISAs are dominate making it hard to introduce other breeds to the flock. My question is would breed dominance be an issue if I add 2 more chicks of a different breed into the brooder. - Thanks for your...

I tried to upload the video of the unboxing but the file was too big.

So the babies got here about 45 minutes ago. No pasty butt. There is one that doesn't look like she'll make it. I was able to get some electrolytes in her but she isn't able to stand.

LOL, Sounds like you need a donkey for the Coyotes, and dog for the other predetors

NO, I wish I would have known about them, I would have preferred to buy local.
