You don’t have to boil it if you buy it distilled, which most grocery stores carry. You don’t want regular water since minerals/additives can interfere with the silver. If you buy colloidal silver, you could probably just put a drop or 2 in the chicks beak without diluting it.
So sorry to hear that! Yes, I wasted $ on Hentronix but figured it was worth getting rid of. I now use the Omlet doors on my 3 coops - not the Wi-Fi version, just battery operated and I never have a problem with any of them. It’s worth my peace of mind.
Hi everyone. I have 2 coops and 15 hens. 14 of the hens all crowd into 1 coop! The one lonely girl insists on going into the 2nd coop but is there by herself all night. When we had the cold temps, we picked her up and made her join the others just for the warmth. It’s milder now so tonight...
We lost a barred rock hen (egg bound) so we wanted to replace her with another barred rock. A local breeder had an ad, so we got 2 from her. We thought they were both hens. We noticed right away they don’t look exactly like the 2 barred rocks we got from the hatchery.
