    Fleas!

    I am going to try DE today. I have been using Comfortis on my dogs and cats but I think they just pick up more fleas when they go outside. So today I am going to take up all the leaves and spread DE everywhere and maybe add a little Sevin! Ugh! I hate fleas!!

    Chickens have diarrhea ----- HELP

    I have had my pullets in a tractor outside where th larger birds can see them. The Pullets are a leghorn and black astroulop and are 14 weeks. I hae RIR, Buff Orington, EE and a Plymouth rock. The RIR is broody so I am a little concerned about introducing them

    Thanks rides2far! I thought that may be. I put on a night light (I know, once a ma ma....always a ma ma) and they settled down after a while. Wish I had a forum like this with my human babies! Lol Hopefully they will sleep through the night! :D :fl. I love these things
