They can't get to them because of the fence I've put diwn the middle of the run, but I think I may need to put smaller mesh on top. I let them out into the garden in turn as well which is working ok so far.
Hi everyone, I have two white campbell drakes just around a year old. We were sold them as females and they settled in with our 3 hens. ( I've had hens for 15 years) We soon worked out they were boys as they grew, but decided to keep and love them anyway. All was good until late April, when one...

Hi, thanks for that Peepsicle, I am alread using that - that's what I meant be DE - saves typing diatomacious all the time! lol Works in the coop and other chucks, just not helping much on this one. Maybe it's because she's old? 41/2 old for a hybrid I think.
