the only thing you missed was putting a little ACV in the mix stops that white stuff from growing in the first place. Less smell also for us of us with sensitive noses.
Hi Everyone, Do any of you have any experience with a pesticide company spraying your chickens? They came to our house in error and sprayed all my organic yard, organic gardens and herbs and our chickens. Then we found out they have been overspraying into my yard behind my chicken coop for a...
so I got some chicks 2 weeks ago. I know my hens can hear them as they are in the little coop next to theirs. All of a sudden I have a Broody Hen. I know lots of people sneak Day old chicks under a Broody Hen at night. Since they are older what are the chances this Broody could be moved to...

this is Kera after her first night in the coop. I do like the idea of putting 2 chickens on the other side of the baby gate. Thanks. Now to see who else is docile around her during supervised free time.
