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...

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...
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.
