    hen with labored breathing, waddling, worms and mites?!

    Thank you for helping identify those worms and giving dewormer options. And for giving recommendations on caring for her skin missing the feathers. We will do another coop clean out & treat for the mites/lice if necessary… DH and I will be giving her the best supportive care we can…these...

    hen with labored breathing, waddling, worms and mites?!

    Have a Calico Princess hen ("Kali" - 2 years old) who gets around the chicken run during the day, but I have noticed her belly is very big and low & she seems to struggle with breathing. I hadn't realized she was missing so many feathers on her bottom and her belly underneath until today. Had...

    Wood pellets for the coop?

    You're absolutely fine - I know life gets busy. I kind of forgot myself :) thanks for all the answers about waterers and pine pellets/sawdust in your chicken housing amd runs. I love the pellets for puddles & muddy spots in the run..and everyone has figured out they aren't food, haha. Have a...

    Chickweed species safe for my flock?

    Thank you for pointing this out. I went off at the tangent of the stellaria media "chickweed" that is good for both human and chicken consumption. And yes, the original plant I have seeds for planting is cerastium biebersteinii "boreal chickweed" - glad to have folks on here keeping the...

    Chickweed species safe for my flock?

    I had seen it was quite common in yards/acreages, but it wasn’t on our farm 😉 All we had was curly (sour) dock, pennycress, Carolina horse nettle, etc. Happy to have some clover, broadleaf plantain, and dandelions among our grass…they will stay & hopefully thrive. lol, if I find out a neighbor...

    Chickweed species safe for my flock?

    Yes it certainly had value, thank you :thumbsup With chicken snacks or plants in general (whether for chicken or human consumption), I like the saying “when in doubt - do without”. There are many other good plants to grow for them or us :cool:

    Chickweed species safe for my flock?

    Thanks for your knowledge! I have seen them try something & do exactly that - peck it and move on. Not sure what catnip tastes (and smells) like to them, but it isn't something they like after a first peck! I will find the safe "stellaria media" aka common chickweed - so I know it will have...

    Chickweed species safe for my flock?

    So after harvesting some of our wildflower seeds and garden plants (yay, grew some summer squash for the chickens for snacks this year!) I was browsing online & bought some “chickweed”. Keep in mind-I am no plant expert..I know nightshade is bad news (for everyone) and have tried to keep weeded...
