Thanks for the help. This Community rules.
I think I've seen photos around the site, but can I make an area that they'll dust bath in? as in a box? or do they only do it where they choose?
Would anyone recommend a combination of DE + wood ashes + dirt/sand?
or only Wood ash or only sand...
Rainy summer and a very muddy wet run. I think it helped breed some mites for my chickens, total bummer.
I tried straw/hay, but the chickens kick and drag and push it all to a pile on the side.
Would a roof over the run help a little?
Suggestions?
-Total NEG EGG!
Last year, I had trouble with Mites of some sort. Itchy when i even entered the run. Should I use Diatomaceous Earth this year?
Put some food grade DE in a dust bath for them?
What else should i put in the Dust bath? Ratios?
Should I worm my chickens? Can I do it? how often?
Eat eggs...
Wondering the laws/rules/applications for selling eggs and produce at local (farmers) markets IN VERMONT, (or examples from your state).
Can I just show up and sell?
Thanks
