    Fogging chickens with Oxine for URI

    LOL, I could not find much on it either...surprisingly! You would think there would be loads of info...considering how many things you can treat with it and how safe it is when left unactivated. (It was the usage in the organic poultry industry and use for human drinking water that first sold...

    hen wounded, can't get rid of the maggots

    You have got a lot of good advice and it seems like all will be well...just adding my 2 cents... I had a similar issue last year. We went camping for 2 days and came home to one of my "yard roos" totally infested (it was hot out and I am in FL so hatch happens QUICK out here) apparently he was...

    Fogging chickens with Oxine for URI

    Okay, I need help guys...and I just know you will wonderful people will have the answers I need. I have never had to actually fog my flock for illness before...if I use the 6.5 oz oxine (unactivated) to a gallon of water ratio to help treat upper respiratory infection, how long (as in minutes)...

    Double yolk eggs questions

    Its crazy what you learn by raising some chickens yourself, lol! I never knew a chicken could even lay an egg that big. I would have sworn it was not even a chicken egg if it had not been for the fact that it was in the coop...in a nesting box...and the coop had been closed up. I would have...

    3 inches!!! WOW!!!

    Thats crazy! I got a 3 incher this afternoon too!!! This is the second one I have got like that from one of my girls who I "think" is a New Hampshire...she laid one 2 weeks ago as well. (I need to get my camera working again so I can post pics of my girls sometime to see if everyone else...

    Double yolk eggs questions

    I have never in my life got a double yolk from a store bought egg...and I thought they were rare. I remember reading someplace a long time ago that most chickens lay one double yolk at some point in life. I have 3 girls that started laying about a month and a half ago (dont know breeds for...

    Organic frustrations.....

    Quote: You know...not a terrible idea... I wonder what the response would be around here though. I might put some feelers out on craigslist or something to see if I can guage an interest. I remember the first time I went to the grocery store when I moved out here 6 yrs ago. I was standing...

    Organic frustrations.....

    Quote: never thought about that part...I just figured my coop is not smelly because my 3 girls have 192 sq ft. in there and they do spend quite a bit of time out of the coop now that you mention it...the poop IS firm, quite easy to clean up. I thought it was probably just the DE but maybe it...

    Making chick starter with my organic layer feed?

    Okay, so here is the deal. A neighbor gave me an unwanted chick the other day and I do not have starter on hand for this chick. I only have the organic layer feed I order online for my girls. I debated ordering some of the starter from the company I buy my layer feed from (which are whole...

    Organic frustrations.....

    I feel your pain. I have the same issue! No organic soy-free feed anywhere near us! I ended up sucking it up and just paying the shipping costs from countryside natural like another poster noted. (the closest place to me that has it is about 150 miles away and they want $83 for a 50 lb bag...

    I need to know about these breeds ...

    Well...not 100% sure...but I think I have some Golden Comets... See, I got my chicks from a local (chain) feed store and all they could tell me was that they were "assorted reds" in the bin...they did not even know how old they were exactly. Anyway, it seems Comets would fall under this from...
