    Coop sand - smelly?

    Hemp bedding has been the best thing in my opinion. I have used sand, pine shavings, and just plain dirt over the years. Hemp has come out on top by a long shot. Sand will eventually get smelly, pine shavings as well. Dirt is fine if you constantly turn it, but when it rains you’ll end up with...

    Worms still in poop after de-worming!

    Th Thanks for your response. What do you recommend aside from safeguard and also what would be considered worming on a regular basis? Every six months? Yearly? Thanks for your help.

    Worms still in poop after de-worming!

    Thanks for your reply. That makes sense! Yes they were moving, and they were not maggots. These were very small and threadlike. If I didn’t have eagle eyes I wouldn’t have noticed them but I am hyper aware because of the first incident. They seem to be the same worms as the first time, but this...

    Worms still in poop after de-worming!

    Hi all - I just de-wormed my chickens using safeguard 3ml to a 1 gallon water and changed it daily. I did this for 3 days and repeated on day 10 to kill any remaining young worms. The withdrawal period just ended and I noticed tiny worms in one of my hens poops again. What should I do? Should I...

    My Buff Orpingtons are 7.5 weeks old. Some are visibly cockerels & some are visibly pullets, but I am stumped with the others. Any expert opinions out there? Cockerel: Pullet: What I am going to assume is another cockerel: What are these:

    Alchemist Farms

    Yes she was very kind through email. I am aware things have been pretty rough in her neck of the woods. As I mentioned, she did pack them very well, so her part was most definitely done. Also, I hear shipment times have taken longer than what my chicks endured, so I suppose they were luckier...

    Alchemist Farms

    I just got my order of 3 moss egger chicks last Thursday from Francesca at Alchemist Farms. She was very communicative from the start and answered pretty much every question I had. Chick shipments were delayed because of the Cali fires but she kept me in the loop. The chicks were sent express...

    Miami Fl - Free Buff Orpington Roosters

    No I have not, and he is most definitely a rooster. His comb and wattles are much redder and larger since this photo. I actually have 3 to rehome.

    The rehoming a rooster thread

    Well they haven’t started to crow yet so I should probably wait, right? I just assumed since he/she has the reddest and most pronounced comb of the flock. But I suppose it’s worth waiting a bit to be sure!
