    Black Walnut Shavings

    Thank you, I knew about the cedar. I only would use the black walnut in the run. I use pine shavings (big flaked) in the coop. I have a big run. So got a lot to cover.

    Black Walnut Shavings

    Hello, I have the option to get black walnut shavings from a wood shop. I would like to use them in the run. I already have been using wood chips in the run. But not Black Walnut. I find different opinions in the internet. If you have experience with black walnut I would love to hear about it...

    Bumblefoot?

    Hello everybody, Daisy, my 6 year old has a bump between her toes. She is happy flappy, no limping. Is that bumblefoot? What do you think? Thanks in advance.

    How best to introduce pullets into the main coop from the temporary coop

    I know this is an old post. I am in the same boat. My chickens are almost 14 weeks old. But they still go back in their little coop at night. Integration goes well - with very few interactions. I only close their fenced in area when I am not home. So how did it work out for you?

    Air quality alert! Will my chickens be ok??

    I put mine in when it had the dangerous warning. I often have an "unhealthy" warning in my area. I figure when I see smoke/dust in the air and it smells smoky, it is time to evacuate. When it is hot/humid they do open mouth breathing- especially the heavy breeds. My buffies did. I always have a...

    Air quality alert! Will my chickens be ok??

    I am in PA, also smack middle in that bad spot. We evacuated our 3 birds inside. Cleaning up poops about every half hour 💩😄Tomorrow it is supposed to be better. They are older, so I want to be on the safe side.

    Hello everybody, Our Trudi went over the rainbow bridge this morning. We were Lucky to find an avian vet who was great and kind. Trudi was stable last night but her crop was still hard this morning so the coconut oil/crop massage treatment did not work. The vet examined her and while looking in...

    Thank you for your advice. I read about the Papaya enzyme as well. I still have some "chicken proof" stoolsoftener that I was going to try if the coconut oil/crop massage won't work. I definitely will get some Papaya enzyme for the first aid kit. My daughter found a vet that takes chicken...

    Doesn't look like blood but we found a vet that will see her tomorrow. The drive is about an hour so we are worried about stressing her, but better safe then sorry. Thanks for the input.
