    Chickens not laying

    Thanks, but I have to disagree with you on the mites for sure. I am a whole seller of PermaGuard FSF DE. I have put it on my animals. My previous Great Pyrenees was being treated with DE on his coat. When we got him saved you should have seen all of the dead and dried up ticks on his skin...

    Chickens not laying

    Red Sexlinks, Black Sexlinks, Alustrop (sp?), Americana, a couple I don't remember their breeds, and supposedly a few KoKo Marans (sp?). These Marans are grey and white checkered, but I was told on different occasions when I purchased the chicks, they were of this breed.

    Chickens not laying

    I was feeding them layer pellets on every other day some scratch. I have mixed DE in their feed in the past but haven't done it in quite a while. I will have to ask my vet about checking the droppings for worms. For me to give them DE, I will have to purchase some of the feed (pellets and/or...

    Ken with chickens, bees, and a couple of sheep

    Hi, My wife and I purchased a 110 acre farm at auction in 2012. We started completely reworking the old 1910 farm house. People thought we were crazy for trying to make something out of a dump. But thanks to our one man contractor he turned it into a beautiful home. My wife doesn't have any...

    Chickens not laying

    I am having a problem with my chickens laying. I live in the Murfreesboro, TN area. I have over 40 hens/pullets. Most of the pullets should be hens by now. I have always had a slow down in Jun through Oct. But this year is different. I started out with 4 hens from last year laying almost...
