    Comment by 'CWP1966' in article 'To Insulate or Not to Insulate...'

    I live in the western piedmont/foothills of NC. Winters here are not too bad. But when it stays in the teens at night and doesn't get above 32 degrees for several days in a row I think you need a little help. I put clear contractors plastic on the northern sides of my runs. I also make sure...

    Chicks dying soon after hatching

    I was just saying that I didn't open it up once the hatch started. I had about 78% humidity. Before the hatch started I would open and candle the eggs about every day. Out of the 15 that didn't make it, they tried. Had their shells cracked all the way around, just didn't make it out.

    Chicks dying soon after hatching

They can live 72 hours...

    ALL BROODY!!!!

    All my years of messing with chickens I have never seen so many go broody at the same time. Austrolorp, Buff, Maran,Barred Rock , White Rock, Mutts.....All 1 year old, different coops. I have others that are going on 3 years old and never went broody. Do they get it from seeing the other do it...

    Bald butts

    Same problem here. Act healthy, lay great. They've been doing this since they were 5 weeks old. I treated them for mites/lice. Birds and coop/run. All my other chickens are fine. It's weird. They have plenty of room,plenty of protein. Some of mine are bare breasted. Even the polish rooster has...

    Feather pecking,eating........

    Does anyone have any advice or home remedies to keep birds from pecking each other? I have 36 birds in 6 coop/runs. These are walk in runs. Plenty of room,protein....no mites or lice. I looked them over good at night with a flashlight and treated them anyway. I hatched my newest chickens June...

    If you could happen to to get something like Fipronil 9.7 % and something like Adam's flea and tick spray, it would work. Buy the 5-22 lbs,Mix Mix 0.67ml. Fipronil with 16 oz of something like Adam's. I've bought stuff from the Chinese sites and it work great! Pour the tiny capsule into the...
