    Is feeding chickens organic feed worth it??

    I just go to Tractor Supply and see what they have. They carry a few brands of organic feed, but their stock varies. I haven't found much difference in them.

    Our Babies Died a Terrible Death

    Sorry for your loss and to some degree for the dog owner's loss. It wasn't really the dog's fault but the fault of the irresponsible owner who didn't contain his dog. Being both a chicken, dog, & cat owner, I wouldn't want any of them killed. This does point out a good lesson though...don't...

    Ivermectin and ignorance

    There is a lot of research coming out demonstrating that the use of Ivermectin prescribed by a doctor has had the effect of lessening the complications of Covid. I know of several cases but, again, this is something you should discuss with your doctor and not KarynVA.

    Ivermectin and ignorance

    Just for your information, the FDA acts on the recommendations of the NHI (the National Health Institute) which does the actual investigating and testing. The NHI is run by a woman named Christine Grady. It's interesting that she's the wife of Anthony Fauci. Even with that connection, he has a...

    Ivermectin and ignorance

    From KarynVA: "Doubling down, eh? Why am I not surprised. @Vacman, you wrote: "the FDA approved thalidomide for nausea in pregnant women ..." and you KNOW that isn't true. You owe everyone an apology. A little humility would serve you well in life. As to the FDA, they aren't perfect and...

    Ivermectin and ignorance

    I don't want to start anything here, but remember that the FDA approved thalidomide for nausea in pregnant women and we know how that turned out. There are a lot of dollars at stake here for big pharma. Make your own intelligent decision. This whole issue has become way too politicized and you...

    Opinions on mouse control

    Whatever you decide on, don't use poison. Too many possible problems with other animals. I have looked for signs of mice coming into my coop shelter at night but haven't found any. At this point, if there were some mice coming in, I wouldn't be concerned unless there was some damage cause by...

    Devastated! Warning Graphical

    Real sorry for your loss. That's tragic. That's a good start, but the openings in that cattle panel are too large for some predators plus predators could dig under the frame. Can you build a shelter inside that can be secured at night? As you can see from my avatar, that's what I've done. At...

    What do you think of Tractor Supply’s new chick bins?

    It really doesn't make any difference. They've removed them and gone back to the stock tanks. Too many customer objections according to the employees here.
