    Ivermectin use in cats?

    Sorry. It is an article published in Canadian Veterinary Journal entitled,"Observations on topical ivermectin in the treatment of otoacariosis, cheyletiellosis, and toxocariosis in cats." It is a link to the article through the database PubMed. As a scientist who uses the database every day...

    Hens laying on top of each other in nesting boxes

    @Jnet If there is not mesh on the bottom, there are preditors that will dig under the enclosure to get in and feast on chickens. Those predators are mainly nocturnal, meaning that they are active at night, which is why it is still important to lock the roost up tight in the evening.

    Incubators Anonymous

    I have never had an incubator, but I get excited to give my girls eggs whenever one decides to go broody. I can never turn down a broody hen. I count the days until I go into the coop and hear the little peeps under her. It never gets less exciting.

    How to keep a rooster from crowing early in the morning (till 7am)

    I was just searching online to see if rooster hoods exist and I stumbled upon your post. I have the same idea for one of my young ones who turns out to be a rooster. I have had roosters before, but have always ended up re-homing or eating them because of neighbors. This new guy is so sweet...
