    The Moonshiner's Bootleg Hatch-A-Long (Old West OUTLAWS vs LAWMEN vs NATIVE AMERICANS)

    Wow. This thread really took a turn. Sorry about the part I played in that. I'm gonna see myself out. But first: @Glory to His name I don't need a history lesson on what the confederacy was fighting for. I really dislike misinformation, so here's some unbiased information for you. 🥰 ✌️...

    And her side lost.... A "bada$$" would have fought against owning other human beings 🤷‍♀️. Seems like she was just bad. 💩 Only my 2 cents. I mean, it's eggs, I don't really care. I just thought I'd share the info.

    Do It Yourself, Non Prescription Dewormer/Deworming

    There is, actually. Although I have had this conversation with others and it seems as though the DVM's presence on the site may be a more recent development. Anyway, I don't think the info there need be disregarded outright. :) https://poultrydvm.com/about.php

    Do It Yourself, Non Prescription Dewormer/Deworming

    Poultry DVM says Ivermectin is effective for many species of poultry worms. I think you just have to be REALLY careful with dosing as it can be quite toxic to chickens (the dose is 0.2 - 0.4 mg/kg) So, 4lb chicken is about 2kg (so you'd want 0.4 - 0.8 mg for that bird) and the Ivermectin...

    Do It Yourself, Non Prescription Dewormer/Deworming

    The once and then 10 days later dosage will only treat roundworms. So, if you are CERTAIN it is roundworms, then that dosing should work. The 5 days in a row dosage covers more types of worms. That's why the 5 day dosing for SafeGuard is often suggested. When one isn't sure what type of worm...

    The Moonshiner's Bootleg Hatch-A-Long (Old West OUTLAWS vs LAWMEN vs NATIVE AMERICANS)

    A female sharpshooter in the late 1800s and early 1900s was pretty unheard of. She also offered to build a regiment of women to fight in WWI and in the Spainish-American War (both offers were declined). She may not have been an "outlaw", but she was definitely a wild west bad@ss! 😉 Much...

    What to use to make run smell fresh and clean?

    You can try BioChar. This article on the Wakefield website discusses using BioChar in poultry yards: https://wakefieldbiochar.com/learning-center/poultry-and-biochar/

    So interesting how genetics works! Things just pop up in the offspring that aren't visible in either of the parents. Very cool!

    Thank you! They're very sweet. I actually lost one of the Bantam Ameraucanas in the first 24hrs. That was a big bummer. One of the Bantam Cochins doesn't seem to be doing so hot either 😔 (I'm doing everything I can, but she's super tiny and only eats and drinks sporadically - wants to be under...

    I can't find Serama or OEGB from any of the hatcheries close to me. 🫤 Maybe some day. I just can't believe how absolutely tiny they are. 😭🥰
