    Chicken poop compost - can it be stored?

    My boyfriend's parents were visiting from West Virginia, we're in New Jersey, and his father is an avid gardener. He asked about the feasibility of composting chicken poop to be transported by to West Virginia. So, of course, that got me thinking. What's the best way to compost chicken poop in a...

    Looking for gutter system pictures

    We've had so much rain here in New Jersey this year and we're drowning in mud and puddles. I am looking to add a gutter system to a new 8x10 shed coop being built soon and an existing renovated Dutch style playhouse coop. Pictures of the style of coops below. I'd love any/all pictures and...

    Worms and Valbazen dosing

    Great, thank you for clarifying. I wasn't sure if the two meds at one time would be too much on them.

    Worms and Valbazen dosing

    This is great information. How long would you recommend waiting after Corid treatment before beginning Valbazen treatment? Thank you so much!

    Worms and Valbazen dosing

    Good afternoon all. I'm curious about Valbazen dosing for chickens. PoultryDVM has it listed as: "Measure out ¼ mL (per bantam) or ½ mL (per regular-sized breed). Repeat in 2 weeks" but that seems awful vague and my chickens all greatly range in size. I'm looking at ordering this: Valley Vet...

    Weak and shaking chick

    Butt looks good and the one poop I've seen looked normal. I've added electrolytes to the water that contains riboflavin so here's hoping! Thank you!

    Weak and shaking chick

    Hello all. This little chick is less than a week old and came to me today. The chick is very wobbly, weak, stumbling and also feels quite skinny. The previous owners found her in the nest box alone Monday night. The hen who sat on the chicks hatched three total but left this one in the nest...

    Automated chicken feeder/Programming thoughts and help

    Thank you all for you input on this one! To comment on the keeping them as pets thing, there's a lot of misconceptions about Cornish Cross chickens. They are absolutely, 100% engineered to be slaughtered at 8-9 weeks. But, with appropriate care, they can live 5+ years. All of the Cornish Cross...

    Automated chicken feeder/Programming thoughts and help

    Alright...looking for suggestions here! I have two Cornish Cross roosters who are meal fed. They receive 1/3 cup each twice a day which is all good and lovely when I'm home but if I'm working late or out for the evening they end up eating dinner very late. I've tried the automated cat feeders...

    Cleaning an "abandoned" coop

    The crew and I are moving to a property that has a beautiful coop in need of repair. While the repairs seem easy enough, the previous owner used the deep litter method and hasn't cleaned it out since 2020 (been empty since then as well). Other than the obvious shoveling poop and other now...

    MoxiVet Plus Dosage

    Looking for the dosing for MoxiVet Plus for the chicken crew here. It says it can be used in chickens but there isn't chicken dosing on the bottle. Has anyone used this on their flock? Thank you!

    Limping Cornish Cross

    The joint is definitely swollen and hot. We've started antibiotics today. I like the idea of adding in B-Complex. I am keeping him as a pet. He'll be my second Cornish Cross, Kit is our 1 year old CX dude. Thank you for the information! I included the xray if you're interested.

    Limping Cornish Cross

    On Wednesday 24th a couple of wonderful people rescued a little Cornish Cross that was stuck by a riverbank in Northern New Jersey. The little one, who I suspect is a ~7 week old roo, came to live with us that same day and is currently quarantined from the other chickens. The first couple of...
