    Black Copper Maran over Black Americuna, results in White Chick

    Game hens lay white eggs. I know this is an old post, but some of the comments that are put out there as fact, when they are not true is scary. I've owned, bred, and hatched more Pyle game birds than I can count. Maybe you have a rare 1 that lays cream eggs, but all my Pyle eggs have been as...

    Review: Battery powered chicken door! (A+)

    I know this thread is a bit on the old side, but I just had to add my 2 cents. I am just over the 1 year mark with my RUN-CHICKEN door, and honestly I couldn't be more surprised or happy with it's performance! I live in the Northeast, so it's winters a cold. I was a little worried about battery...

    Correct Sulfer product to use on chickens

    I apologize for not responding, I haven't been on here for awhile. I just looked real quick to see if I could find it, but there's so many articles online about sulfur and chickens that I couldn't. I do know it was from a agricultural college in the US. Past that I can't recall. Yellow Jacket...

    Correct Sulfer product to use on chickens

    There have been studies that have shown that 90% wettable sulfur has the best impact on mites. I have also used this product (Bonide brand) with tremendous results. Honestly tho, I really don't think a dead mite cares if it was killed with 99% or 90%. Sulfur is absolutely devastating to a mite...

    Permethrin Dust & Mite Advice

    I've also had incredible luck with the Bonide 90% on both NF, and Depluming mites. It's so much better than a product like DE, which I also use in conjunction

    Treating 48 chickens for scaly leg mites?

    I have used Vaseline for years (25 roughly) as a weapon to rotate into the mite wars, but I really wish I had thought of this years ago, because I have always been a strong supporter of sulphur, in both powder and spray. Now I have just 1 more option. A smear on the vent, and under both wings...

    sulfur powder against lice/mites?

    90% sulfur is safe and works phenomenal against mites (NF, Depluming in my experience, but many more). I mix it straight into dust baths, and also mix half cup per gallon into my high pressure backpack sprayer to spray coop and run. This allows it to penetrate all crevices mites like to hide in...

    sulfur powder against lice/mites?

    I strongly disagree with this statement. I have used Bonide 90% sulfur for years on NF mites and depluming mites, with amazing results over products like DE. Instead of mixing 10% into a dust bath, I may use a little more but I never measure anything. I also mix a half cup per gallon of water...
