    coopex residual insecticide

    if mites is your only problem buy DE diatomaceous earth.

    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    So I'm gonna be getting chicks soon and I would like to do the fermented feed. But I'm buying them as layers not meat birds. Is there anything that should be done differently? Just bc the thread is listed as for meat birds.
