Do you happen to know dosage of the ivermectin pour on for quail? Chickens? I have a horrible infestation that I have been fighting for over a month and power washing the coop and adding DE hasn't worked. Egg withdrawal time? Want to make sure I don't accidentally poison myself/my family.- absn2010

She had been handled by adults and kids. We introduced our 4 ducks to our chickens (per "the plan") and she became a...- absn2010

Getting into Geese
Newbie here-- So I have wanted a goose (or two) for years and we are finally in a position to get them (and a half dozen chickens of course). I am hoping to get two Toulouse geese and was wondering how people in this forum are housing them. There is a whole section on chicken coops but not... -
