    Scalex for mites- egg usage after application?

    Omg. I am freaking out at this news. At the feed store it is in the chicken section and the owner said she uses it on her chickens. Lifetime???? I could never use another one of my eggs?

    Scalex for mites- egg usage after application?

    Hello, One of my hens has gone broody and has mites. I got Scalex and treated her, my other 4 hens, and the coop. My question is about if you have to wait a certain period of time to use eggs from treated birds? There was nothing on the label and haven't found anything yet online. Thanks for any...

    Pullets won't go inside at night

    Yea the older ones are still acting territorial but not really pecking the younger ones. I added some solar lights inside the run by the ramp and I am hoping they figure it out. Tonight they were posted up on the outside of the nesting boxes roosting on the edge. When I put them in should I put...

    Pullets won't go inside at night

    Hi everyone, We have 2 hens that are almost a year and a half and 3 girls that are about 5 months old. The three older ones refuse to go inside the coop at night on their own like the older two and I have to put them inside every single night. Any suggestions on getting them to learn to go...

    New chickens introduced into flock -help!

    So the last two nights the littles have had to be coaxed to go inside with the bigs (that's what I call them), they are fine overnight, and then they hesitate coming out in the morning. Silly chicks. How long does it usually take for the bigger ones to accept the smaller chickens? The clucking...

    New chickens introduced into flock -help!

    If the little ones had more space I would have waited but they were starting to try and fly in the brooder and there was definitely not room for that! Lol. Thanks everyone!!!

    New chickens introduced into flock -help!

    I had to put the little ones inside once the bigs went in. They had no clue where to go or how to get in. It's quiet in there now so I'm crossing my fingers it stays that way until morning! Do you suggest putting a little water and food inside overnight? Or are they fine until morning?

    New chickens introduced into flock -help!

    We introduced our new chickens (3 of the between 8-10 weeks) officially into our existing flock of 2 hens who are 1 year old. We had them in the run in a safe container and this was the fist day we let them out. One of the hens was especially pecky and the babies pretty much hid all afternoon...

    Hello, we have a 1 year old hen whose comb is still red but tonight the comb was laying over to the side a little. She seems to be acting fine but this concerned me. If her comb still has good color and she is behaving ok is the comb laying over ok or could there be anything wrong with her...

    Babies keep dying

    No, just a regular lightbulb. Is Sav-a-chic different than nutridrench? I used sav-a-chick on the first 3.

    Wing feathering, shape ?

    Hi everyone, my two chicks that I'm guessin are between 1-2 weeks old have their wing feathers coming in strong but they are 2 totally different shapes (to me at least lol) Do the shapes of their wings vary by breed or gender? Thanks for any insight!

    3rd polish died...

    They are eating medicated feed. I also had put in their water the sav a chic probiotic and electrolytes. I purchased them at a feed store in Orange, CA. I think I am going to go buy some corrid (I think that's right?) at a different feed store and just start giving it to the two I got last night...
