    New to backyard chickens! I need help!

    I am in Southern Ontario and with our weather here in Canada I highly recommend a covered run - you don't want to be shoveling out snow during the winter. I used metal roofing panels. Plastic will work too. Hardware cloth all walls and floor so you don't have any predators breaking in. I use...

    Anyone use a puppy pen as a brooder?

    I’m wondering how long you kept them in here for. Was it good for their teenage weeks ? Week 3-6?

    Bumblefoot healing

    Hey guys! So I have a question about bumblefoot - I originally treated it about 6 weeks ago (dug out the infection, foot soak, polysporin, wrapped the foot for a week etc). Two of my girls had it on both feet. Their feet no longer seem red or swollen, but the scabs are there on 3 of the 4 feet I...

    Mareks vaccine in CANADA?

    Ya same - I also read that you can get it at the feed stores in the US. So much easier ! Its definitely frustrating when you’re trying to do the right thing and vaccinate but it’s like jumping through fire hoops lol. I’m trying to get people to give me the down low on how they got the vaccine...
