Can you feed them back even if they are not sick? I vaccinated mine a year ago before they were laying and it’s says to do it annually. I now have some that are still young and want to do them all. But none are sick it’s just starting to get hot and the mosquitoes are starting to hang out in...

Good to know about the society garlic around my run so may just see how they do. We are having a problem with mosquitoes this year and while I have not standing water around they are just bad. So I am on the war path and am planting any plants that will keep them away.

I have been watching my 3 older gals going in and out of the coop this week testing out the nesting boxes so I figured we were getting close to that first egg. This morning before a work meeting (yep still working at home) I took a snack to the girls and noticed one missing and she wouldn’t...

Thank you this is very helpful.

Thank you So do you mean in 4 to 6 weeks it should be gone? Should I treat their water with Oxine? What about mixing up sulfur with vaseline to treat the sort?

I noticed this bump on my chickens waddle the other day and today it seems bigger. I googled what it could be and Fowlpox comes up. I am concerned about my other birds and want some advice on using Oxine in their water and using a sulphur and Vaseline rub on it. Any advice would be...

What cream did they give you can one buy it one line?

I have one 24 week old that has one bump one her waddle. Is thus contagious to my other birds?

Well you are not along. I have 7, 3 20 weeks old and 4 that are 10 weeks old. Between them all there are 5 different breeds which I was told should be all friendly but oh no I can getting close to them unless i corner them 🤪 I think in time when they get older they will calm down a bit. just...

Love to hear others with same situations as ours. After about 3 weeks in the same coop last night was the first time there was NO problems in the coop. I actually keep a ring camera in the coop at night to watch what’s going on. Up until last night the older ones were pretty mean but the...

Update on blending my gals. While I am still having to make sure the younger ones get into the run. Once they are in the run they all head up into the coop and I am very happy to report that tonight was the first night there was NO fusing in the coop 👍👍 NO pecking from the older gals so I am one...

It’s still a bit of a battle I am surprised it’s taking so long but the younger chicks are getting bigger and they will fight back soon. I have seen one of the younger ones roost beside the big ones one night them not the next. So I have to be patient they will figure it out soon enough.

Tonight was easier but only because the youngest girls were already in the run. But baby steps. They all went up into the coop without issue. So I have hope 🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🥰

I did the first day but it was over 90 degrees and way too hot for them. The are fine going up into the coop as long as they are in the run already. they have been in the new coop/run now for 3 days straight so we will see. 🐓🐓
