when chickens are coming into lay their comb turns red.. so how do you tell when ducks are ready ??
i bought a few indian runners last month and the seller said they were poi and it would happen in a few weeks . he told me how old they were but i forgot what he told me :-)
if you get as close as you can bend or sit down throw them a few treats and stay still , they will eventually come over for the food and if you can herd them in towards your garden while throwing treats or bread in front of them

hi diana
i mostly put it in the water after it has been boiled but i also put it in fresh water . you can also crush fresh garlic straight into the food . but its always fresh garlic .the chickens go mad for it so if you have wormed them already you can use the garlic as a preventive...
my chickens had stopped laying for a while and i was going to get a wormer and some antibiotics from the vet but i decided to try the garlic first . two days later egg production was back to normal ..
hi lads
crush up some garlic into a pot of water bring to the boil . when cooled put in into the chickens waterer . its recommended to do this for a few days every month to keep worms at bay .
