Well I do appreciate your come back just didn't know whole lot about this stuff I already have fans and have picked up and Mr. as well seems to really be helping again thanks for your come back.
Has any of you use rooster booster vitamins and electrolytes. It is getting hot here and I was told to put this in their water just wondering how well it really works if at all. The chickens are about three months old and doing a lot of panting in this heat. So if anybody has used this stuff...
I would never clip just one side on the chicken wings I have seen that done and watched chickens fly in the air come down sideways and hurt themselves due to being off-balance. So my suggestion if you're going to have to clip their wings do both sides.
Well Sue I not only got the one welsummer I picked up what they call a olive eagger they lay green olive colored eggs Ohta be pretty cool. We will see right. I put the new girls in the other pin today I am going to leave them in there and see how it goes. They all have feathers I think...
Well Sue today I am going to get one more welsummer chicken it is the sister of the other one that I have. I called her and she told me she had one left so why not go get her right .
I have been talking with other people and they have been leaving them out this young. So use your own judgment I'm going to wait A little bit longer with mine because they keep cuddling up with each other in the mornings especially under the light.
I agree wood chips is the only way to go I have tried straw don't like the straw when it's wet it smells bad and it doesn't seem to hold the poop like wood chips. So there you go my opinion wood-chips
I live in California I have three new chicks they are americanus how long should I keep them on heat lamps They are five weeks old and the temperature here is in the high 40s mid 50s at night and 70s and 80s during the day. I have been turning it off occasionally during the day and back on at...
