    permethrin

    Wow thanks guys! I have had chickens for YEARS with no problems. This is the first time. Its quite embarassing. I keep a clean coop. I assume its because I adopted new chickens this year. They must have come with them. This will be a fun adventure.

    Rescue goose. I need some info.

    Chicken feed in Quebec, where to buy?

    I just moved from Ontario to Quebec and I have just learned that they don't have any of my usual feed supply stores (TSC / Co-op). Can anyone give some names of feed supply stores in Quebec that I can google? Thanks!

    My first dying chicken. What is it?

    I have had chickens for a few years with no problems at all. Today I went to the coop to let the chickens out and they all seemed fine. Just now I went back down and one of my silkies is laying on its side close to death. I poked at it and moved it a little to see if anything had bitten it...

    Is something wrong with my chickens feet?

    I was looking at my chickens feet today and it seems they are flaking and some spots are turning colour. Is anything wrong or is this normal?

    Fly paper issue

    It's not an emergency but I have silkies and a strip of fly paper fell from the roof and became stuck to a chicken. I have managed to remove it all with no real issue. It's a very friendly chicken. The problem is now there is sticky goo stuck to her face. What should I do to remove it?

    Winter coop almost done (Video)

    I am using a little space heater. I installed the proper line from the house to run it though. Running a heater off an extention cord might be a little much.

    Winter coop almost done (Video)

    No there is no benefit to having them really. They are just cute. We do use their fur for spinning into yarn. Its super soft and warm.

    Winter coop almost done (Video)

    There are 5 bunnies living in there. They are Angora rabbits. They get along just fine with the chickens. Both dogs get along fine with the chickens too. Even the big black one!

    Winter coop almost done (Video)

    I am not sure this is the right place to share this but I am almost done my winter coop. I built it last year. Just 1 layer of outdoor siding on it last year but this fall I added insolation and another layer of plywood on the inside. Hopefully this will keep my chickens cozy warm in our cold...
