    Many of my flock have pox-- appears to just affect the combs, its been going a while. I haven't seen this answered anyplace I've looked online. I'm assuming this is dry form since they haven't been sick. question: When this is done--outbreak over, Will this heal over and the combs go...

    Comment by 'cwren' in article 'Deep Litter Method - The Easiest Way To Deal With Chicken Litter'

    Has anyone added fall leaves to the litter? I've seen chickens sifting through leaves and they seemed very happy.

    Chicken Wire and Chicken Heads Necks

    well re-checking everything-- I was wrong. I have 1/4 inch hardware cloth I plan on using for an apron & 1 inch chicken wire I want to just put from the bottom of the coop to 2 ft tall so my chickens don't stick out their heads.

The other chickens do not have paler combs so maybe it is the breed; or at least this particular...

    my neighbor lost 4 horses when the neighbor had his lawn sprayed. She had autopsy on one and it had liver damage. I would get the remaining hens away from the sprayed yard for awhile and ask the company where it was sprayed--and never have it sprayed again. A few dandelions and clover etc...

    chickens comb color? hope this is the right forum?

    I have noticed that my gold lace wyandotte's have lighter combs than my dominiques.

The rooster has...

    Comment by 'cwren' in item 'Wyandotte'

    I have 3; a rooster--gorgeous! 2 hens--one of which has a lighter comb. She is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. We've nicknamed her 'dummy' and we always have to look for her as she is always a few minutes late to the party. Also she seems incapable of figuring out where the door to the...

    Thank you, I didn't realize the chicken wire came in different sizes. I'll have to check what I have & see if I need to get something else. :)

    Chicken Wire and Chicken Heads Necks

    Can a chicken stick its head through chicken wire? I'd like to put some around the bottom of my dawg kennel/chicken run. A couple of them like to stick their heads through the chain link will chicken wire stop that?
