    Will My Hen Have a Chance? Open Wound to the Bone

    Thanks all for the input. smile I followed up with my vet and he said the reason for only washing the wound with mild sop and water was just to keep it clean and to mostly stimulate healing/skin growth on the area by the water pouring from the faucet onto it. I wash it twice a day. He didn't...

    Will Diatomite (DE or diatomaceous earth) harm my chickens?

    Yes, go ahead and use ONLY FOOD GRADE DE as a preventative for mites. Sprinkle in the litter. It no longer works after getting wet. The other type of DE you find is for pools, etc. Toxic! I get my DE off of Ebay.

    Big Nesting Boxes for Little Bantams?

    OK, so I think I know the answer to this one but just want to make sure before I buy nesting boxes. I have 4 bantams but 10 other larger chickens and to conserve $$$ I thought it would just be more practical to go with a set of the large 14" boxes so that everyone could fit. This shouldn't be...

    Big question, why did all of you new chicken owners get chickens?

    I got chickens to be more self sufficient as well and have found them to be great pets too! I love them to pieces, I have to admit. I also like the fact that I got heritage breeds which are all interesting to learn about while helping to preserve our genetic past. (I am a heirloom seed...

    Would you rebuild this shed or start from scratch? (Image heavy)

    Yes, do use what you've got! I remodeled from something worse and am glad I did! This structure looks excellent and still "square". Meaning you shouldn't have a problem with cuttting wood and insulation to fit!
