    How exactly do you apply the dust? Are you just sprinkling it on with fingers?

    Three hens dead in four days

    First step towards keeping chickens safe at night is locking them up. Predators are most active at night. If your chickens are outside unsecured then expect deaths to continue.

    Comment by 'TheWickedChicken' in article 'Predator Proofing for New and Existing Coops'

    @Macchickenman I have the same set up except we use large rocks/cinder blocks to keep the hardware cloth down. It’s not pretty but it does the job, no predators get in. As long as the hardware cloth is tight against the ground (no gaps) that set up should work just fine. Make sure to check it...

    Review by 'Anonymous' in article 'Primal Chickens – 6 chicken keeping secrets from the evolution of chickens'

    Help! Chick with bum problems

    Soaking in an Epsom salt bath has been shown to help eggbound hens. Maybe it could help in this case, too?

    Hens pecking chicks

    My hens are free ranging and I’m not going to confine them to the run where the chicks are kept. That seems like a recipe for aggression. The chicks aren’t big enough to free range the yard with the hens yet. As I said, the chicks have been in sight and sound of the hens since day 1, so it’s not...

    Will I ever get an egg??

    Your Australorp’s comb is very red, so she’ll probably start laying soon. The ameracauna’s comb looks pink though and I can’t see the Brahma’s comb. If the combs are pink and not red then they aren’t going to be laying yet. Even then it could be awhile. My SLWs had red combs and wattles for a...

    Hens pecking chicks

    I have 5 SLW hens and 3 GLW chicks about 5 weeks old. Chicks have been housed in sight and sound of the hens but physically separated so the hens don’t hurt them. I’m starting to introduced the hens to the chicks and the two lowest ranking hens peck the chicks each time I try to introduced them...
