    Any suggestions on how to solve our frostbite problem?

    Yes I just noticed she has her rooster in the basement since it's still not above freezing. So you would be right about the moisture from the Vetericyn causing problems.

    Hmmm not sure. I know the chicken chic is using it on her rooster and he's getting along just fine. Maybe the ingredients respond differently than water.

    Taming Chicks

    I need help with ideas to tame my chicks. They're 3 wks and will eat out of my hand, but act like I'm murdering them when I pick one up. Our coop is an A-frame with run underneath, so if I can't handle them, I will have a hard time checking on their health and such. Thanks

    Chicks for the first Time
