    Permethrin spray

    Permethrin is great. We use concentrate and mix with water in gallon jugs. We use on all our outdoor/forestry clothing cuz of our tick issues in the summer. Clothing, shoes, socks, hats, etc... and as an added bonus... Chicken/coop/run, bug treatments. Get some empty gallon jugs, empty...

    Vitamin B/Riboflavin deficiency, amazed of what problems it causes

    I totally agree with you! Vaccinations are good but not 100%. I will be keeping an eye out for everything.

    Vitamin B/Riboflavin deficiency, amazed of what problems it causes

    Yes, i see what you are saying. I only read the "Guaranteed Analysis". I posted my mistake and quoted it above. For some reason though it seems as she was deficient in one of these vitamins. Maybe she wasn't eating as much as the other girls...because of the moult. ANd became deficient. Or, this...

    Vitamin B/Riboflavin deficiency, amazed of what problems it causes

    OK, look who just caught up....ME! Apparently...I had a "Derp" moment. So, thank you to all who responded. I must've looked at the "Guaranteed Analysis" on the label online for my feed and others. Digging deeper I saw the full ingredient lists on the feeds. So, yes vitamins are in there. I don't...

    Vitamin B/Riboflavin deficiency, amazed of what problems it causes

    I am waiting on Nutrena to write me back about the Vitamin Bs not listed on their label of "Feather Fixer". Maybe they will tell me that it actually is in there but not listed. I wrote them Sunday night. So, hopefully i will get a response soon. My girls are in their first moult, and it is...

    Vitamin B/Riboflavin deficiency, amazed of what problems it causes

    I just wanted to post this in case there are peeps out there that don't know about this. I found my RIR hen in nest box at night (When i go check and make sure they are all in coop) a few days ago and wouldn't stand on Left leg. I thought she may have injured it since they were cooped up in the...

    raising diff breeds of chicks together in one area?

    I started with a smaller coop and run a lil bigger than the one pictured. Now, i wish i would've not spent the money on a pre-built one because it ended up being too small as I wanted more chickens. I lived and learned. Now we have a 12x12 coop...and 12x20 run attached. My girls are all free...

    My pullet mounting other pullets at (30 weeks old)

    Thanks for the replies. I never knew that they carried both female and male sex cells. Very interesting indeed. Maybe the stress of them being new layers caused it. Usually RIRs are aggressive, but of course mine have to be different lol. Glad to hear it is not that unusual. I am assuming that...

The one stopped laying about a week or so ago, and now she is starting to mount a few of my Barred Rock pullets (24 weeks old). we do not have any cockerels in our flock. I know this girl is the most...
