That's my thoughts. Be safe. Try it. And see what happens. There could be a very good reason why this is not common practice. Or, it could simply be that companies make more money selling speciality items at higher price points. I am just now putting up my first electric fence. And it crossed my...
This really isn't "small town tyranny" at ay. It is UN "world climate control" being implemented locally. That is the way they are going about all their goals. The UN looks down on all livestock. Even small backyard chicken flocks. Just go to the united nations website and read their goals. It's...
Well one reason is, main reason, the authority doesn't like it when people sell natural remedies. You have to jump through all their hoops. and they would never allow anyone to say, "here is the treatment for such and such". You have to do studies to prove it. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical...
It is so frustrating to hear how people think these days!
Of course you can build an immunity towards MG!!!! It is a bacteria isn't it? Does the immune system fight off bacteria? YES IT DOES! How convenient for an industry that can't provide a cure, to tell you to kill your flock! Whatever you...
Could be sore up in the hip area. Check there for heat and swelling. I would let him baby it, and watch for bumble foot. It's easy to miss a thorn or splinter the first few days. Maybe let him stand in some Epsom salt. Take a five gallon bucket. Cut a hole in lid for his head to stick out. And...
I disagree. It's not their fault it stor.ed. but they know the chick's didn't stand a chance of surviving that, no matter who was delivering them. Trucks are not equipped for living creatures. They could have bumped your delivery date, and did whatever it is they do with the extras chicks they...
Thank you so much for the reply! Do you think a small wading pool would be sufficient? I don't have any natural water on my property. Well, a spring. But no waterhole. I think I am going to try and find her a home. I would hate to see her hurt. I have always had a wading pool here for the ducks...
Park city Kentucky. It is up the road from mammoth cave. And we are on a road, that is close to the highway. So everyone past us, has to drive past our house to get to the expressway. We have a lot of traffic. It's great for selling stuff. Rural king and tsc can't keep chicks in.rural king is...
Oh, and roos. I have two roos. But they will not be for the business. I have some ordered. And will be arriving in a few weeks. I tried ordering some earlier. But there was some issues with the co.pany, so canceled everything with them. It has put me back a bit. But that's okay.
Well, I was a single mom. So that put a damper on things. Too busy surviving to start living.lol but now, I live with my son and grandson. The mom, unfortunately is in avegetative state from a horrible car accident. So now, I am in a two income household! We moved last year to several acres. I...
I have done it with orpington, salmon faverolles, EE, and mutts. Yes EE are mixed. But I mean purely mutts.lol so mixed that no telling what they are! So far, I have not had troubles. Actually, it's been beneficial! But yeah, some breeds I wouldn't even attempt it.
