    I Too have been looking at this but been suggested to try Peroxide in the water? Have read a few articles here on mite treatments all very good but some not avail in NZ.

    How to clean my sand flooring in the run area without dumping out all that sand? Sifter ideas?

    :D I can understand that. Did you lay concrete underneath and sand on top or just sand on top of the dirt? If Its really a matter of time saving for you - then do you really want to sift the solids by hand/sieve? I've heard some have used gravel in the bases but it all comes down to how easy it...

    Why won't my hens lay eggs

    We have a similar prob up here in the bay with our Six Brown shavers. 2 are Feral though and the other 4 were brought in 4 months ago from a battery farm. They laid 1 egg and that was it!

    anyone from new zealand

    Also found this "Anti-coccidial drugs are very effective. The danger zone is usually around 3 to 7 weeks. Keep chicks on a crumble that contains low levels of coccidiostat. With a serious outbreak, you need to put a coccidiostat in the water, since sick chicks that will not eat will still...

    Washing & storing eggs

    Well USA is not the only country to keep eggs in the Fridge We always have and really think nothing of it - Our girls might have rolled poop on it or have shavings on it etc but we just rub it of and stick it in the cold box!

    Thoughts on Craigslist?

    Here in NZ we have several Auction places and with the main one being TradeMe they have the market share and 'traffic' - others miss out. So unless you can find another auction place or listing service that has a lot of people selling stuff then your options change. If Craigslist had star rating...
