    Coop treatment for lice

    My chickens have lice. My coop is a 65 sq ft shed with sand as it’s bedding. Would you all suggest removing all the sand to treat for the lice?

    Predator apron ideas.

    Adding a 12x12 lean too off of my coop, going to have a chicken door for the chickens to access. Anyone have any ideas for a predator apron along the coop itself? Given that I can’t access underneath to bury anything.

    Gape worm

    The one hen will open her mouth like she is gasping for air and then rapidly shake her head. It is pretty frequent. No drainage anywhere.

    Gape worm

    One of my chickens was showing signs of gape worm. I used safe guard paste fenbendazole 10%. I see online that people do it for three day’s continuously or they do it once and wait ten days and then do it again. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.

    Bully chicken?

    Introducing chickens to empty coop

    thanks for the reply! It is a good sized coop, it used to be a shed but I converted half of it. The ventilation is good, a lot of air flows through the rafters due to the vents it has. I know its a big space for only two chickens, I plan on adding 6 more chicks in about 4 weeks when the weather...

    Introducing chickens to empty coop

    Hi everyone, I just bought two fourth month old chickens for my coop. The coop is empty so they will be the only chickens in there. Should I keep them in the coop for a certain amount of time before allowing their run door to open outside to their run? Thanks.
