Treated for round worm a few weeks ago after seeing a couple worms in the poop, since then, no longer seeing worms but have noticed some yellow foamy dropping but also a lot of "normal" droppings so though it was probably cecal. This morning found...

    Worming with Horse Wormer

    Shed to the coop

    We initially were going to purchase a pre-fab coop, but then realized we didn't really need our 8x8 garden shed, so after some convincing of my husband, moved the shed across the yard onto a new floor, and started the project. I decided on sand as the coop litter after a lot of reading. So...

    Feeding chicks of different ages

    Though I initially planned on getting all day old chicks to start my chicken adventure, my local hatchery had the breeds I wanted just a few weeks a part so I went for it. I am not sure when to transition from starter to grower feed as they are all fed together. The ages currently range...
