by grape vine do you mean the ones with grapes or the wild ones that take over trees. Im not sure what grape vine is. Good suggestion btw. I did transplant some honeysuckle over their other run but it has not started growing yet cause i had cut all the vines off and it has not had much time...
so it has been almost a month since I found Ethel with the gaping hole in her side. I think it took longer to heal because the location . When she flapped her wings she pulled it away from area and kept it gaping at top. She would always flap her wings when I brought her inside and started...
just came across this thread and I see nobody answered you. I sure hope you found your answers elsewhere. I am looking to see if honeysuckle is safe for chickens. They ate the leaves last fall pand seemed fine. I was going to plant it to cover a half circle 15 ft run to give them shade...

thanks I have bathed them with dishwashing detergent before. One had a very poopy butt and I bathed her in side and then used a blow dryer on her. Also used my bath liquid soap on roos when they tried to kill each other before I seperated them. Bloody mess. Stupid testerone laden birds...
Ok since no answers on the use of Blue Kote. I just went out and sprayed her wound with it and put her back down. She seems healthy enough except for the open sore. It is not as deep as I thought first time I saw it. It is bad and fairly large. I just will have to leave it in the chicken...
They are regrowing their feathers from the Sunflow Seeds that I am feeding them. I see down coming on and feathers as well are growing on both my bald little hens.
I feed them laying pellets, scratch and they eat all they can peck out of a grassy yard. I had two roos and only 3 hens. The darn roos rode them to death and I was unable to put them anyplace else. Why I got two more hens this year but they are babies and seperated. It is not from lack of...
