Just trying to get my plans together for happy, healthy hens. Thanks for the ideas!

Thanks!

That was a little snide. I’m not squeamish and don’t mind poop, I just want chickens that are healthy and want input on how people do it like grandma did. Can Anyone else give me ideas please?

I haven’t started raising chickens yet, but was so excited about it until I read about lice. Now I’ve scrapped my plans for raising them.

Thanks! Didn't know I could do that. I'll peck around and try to figure it out.
