Some excellent recommendations. Thank you. I see I need to get a shopping list together. I forgot that I keep Calcium tablets on hand also. And a tub that I can use for soaking, with a bag of epsom salts and some KY jelly stored in it.
BDutch, what kind of herbal powder mix do you use? Is it a...
I have several things on hand... electrolyte, B12 solution, Coccidiosis treatment, permethrin powder, Elector PSP on order, Vetericyn antimicrobial spray, and a few other things I cannot remember.
I am wondering what all people keep in their med kit for pests/injury/illness? What are the...
Thanks. No, I don't. I am going to get some when I treat her. If she has them, they are still early and not many.

I might cut back by just giving it to them in mash, so I can...
@thecatumbrella I just read aart's post. Good info. Thank you for linking
The "Save a Chick" mentioned is what I give them in a supplemental waterer every day, in addition to their regular water. I definitely think that helps. I need to do the foot bath thing. And as much as they love their...
That's a good idea. I need to put a bottle of water in the fridge, then sprinkle it over that area.
I appreciate all the questions and suggestions. This heat and humidity are not easy on any of us.
Pulling moisture was an added benefit of an ac, on top of cooling the air. But when 9% lower humitity than outside is still 90%, I think it's harder on the hens than I anticipated.
I don't have any way to put a dehumidifier in this small coop, so I run the AC a lot. The AC in the new coop...
