    Topic of the Week - Deworming chickens

    So I am going to deworming my flock of 40 tomorrow. Is it better to deworm them on an empty stomach (in the morning prior to eating) or in the evening after they have eaten all day long?

    Suddenly refusing fermented food

    There is a HUGE benefit to fermenting feed other that them not spilling it. The reason the feed bill drops when owners begin correct fermentation is when fermentation is done correctly, we as humans, are "partially digesting" the feed for them. Chickens lack the necessary enzymes in their gut...

    Corn free feed

    I feed New Country Organics as well and I LOVE it!!! It has such a good smell when you open that bag! And I also like the fact that the protein content is higher than Scratch and Peck.... I think my chickens, especially my young ones, need that extra protein :) I also love the fact that you...

    New turkey owner. Freaking out about blackhead.

    You can keep chickens and turkeys together but you need to deworm your turkeys 2-3 times a year for coccidia which can turn into liver flukes. Sageguard for goats will kill the coccidia and keep it from prgressing to the liver... same concept as heartworm medication for dogs.

    Review by '' on item 'Side mounted, Spring-loaded Chicken/Small Animal Water Drinker - 10 Pack'

    I got these after reading some reviews on Amazon! I initially bought the vertical ones which leak like CRAZY even with silicone applied around them! My 7 week old hens were accustomed to the vertical nipples so I introduced the horizontal nipples on a cooler day and took away the vertical...
