    NY chicken lover!!!!

    The post was meant for the person with pears not for that poor chicken with wounds. Please put her in her own pen. Chickens are cannibals...they see blood they peck. Use antiseptic. I use Bacitracin! Then when she goes in the coop/run put blukote on it!

    You can also put them in brandy! But let them ripen a bit in a brown paper bag. Peaches too!

    NY chicken lover!!!!

    I use solar predator protector lights to keep deer, raccoons and skunks etc away. They work at night. Night eyes. But today I just purchased a Winchester 1300 20 guage shotgun. A friend had it in the basement brand new, never used! And had ammo to go with it. Never had a gun in my life but...

    how often do you clean your coop

    I wash out my waterers everyday! Use white vinegar before I bring them in the house. They are plastic so them I run them through the sanitizing cycle of the dishwasher.

    how often do you clean your coop

    During the Spring, Summer and Fall I clean my run everyday and the roof /sides of the coop which has a lower small run. I hose it out while my girls are out and about. Use a coop clean product that is enviro friendly , brush the coop and hose it down again. Winter not so easy because I can't...

    how often do you clean your coop

    I use Happy Hen Coop Cleaner that I order on-line from McMurray Hatchery. It is natural, Plant derived and Eco-friendly! All which are important to me.

    Hell in my hen house!

    Well the new young ladies (Austra and Annie) were put in the coop after dark last night. Bit of a ruckus this morning when everyone came out but I guess that is to be expected. Things seem to have calmed down a bit. I'm sure it will take some time. Watching that no one gets hurt and everyone...

    Also make sure they aren't eating moldy food. If you wouldn't eat it they shouldn't! Hardest thing for me is my Rosie likes to eat wet pellets and mash from the run off when I hose out the run and coop! I'm sure that is what made her sick!

    It is full of vitamins , minerals, antioxidants ,etc. (McMurray Hatchery online -where my girls came from)but you should never use it in metal containers because it will corode them. They also have an immuno charge that I use in the colder months. I use plastic thermal bowls (think I got them...

    It has to be viral???

    Sounds scary! I had one of my hens die in July and then another with vent gleet this past month! That was scary but nothing like you are going through! I would make sure they aren't eating something while free ranging (plants) that might be toxic. Also have your water tested perhaps! I hate...

    Hell in my hen house!

    So all went better than expected. Rosie had vent gleet. She is now in a molt as well as 2 of my other hens. Cured the vent gleet. Quaranteed her for a while. Baths in warm water with baking soda, athlete's fungal cream on her behind (1st hemmorhoid cream), blu-kote spray and vick's when she...

    Hell in my hen house!

    Been an awful summer. Lost my Beatrice (Black Barred Hen) while I was away in Europe. She had been ill but I thought she was getting better before I left. My husband had to bury her 4 days before I came back. Coop was still happy but a week ago had an incident. Blood in the run! Everbody...
