Thanks for the info. Never even heard of blackhead, about to check on that now. I've seen several places that have them mixed together around here so hopefully that won't be a issue.
Wondering if I can put a few turkeys with my chickens? I leave the coops open so they all can free range I the backyard. The yard is roughly a acre and it's fenced in as well. Wanted to ask the experts before I went and purchased anything. Thanks in advance.
I'm happy with whatever it is I'm just more curious then anything now. I'm going to check that site out and see what I can find out. Thank you both for the information. Keep it coming!!
As of now the Orloffs are my favorite. I had one get hurt when it was a baby so I handled her everyday for a while. She is like a puppy now. She's runs to me when I go in the coop an she likes to sleep in my lap on occasions.
I purchased her and two others from w fed store as Americanas. After a little research and some help on this site we decided they were EE. I'll get a few more pics of her in a few when I go lock the coop. She hasn't laid ny eggs yet. She is only 16 weeks old.
Only a few times a year?! Guess that'll take a chore off my monthly coop cleaning. Thanks or the advise. So you just let the chicks walk on it once applied or do you wait to put them back in?
I really like this breed. They are very docile and I think they are beautiful birds. I got luck and found 5 for sale so I jumped on them.
I just started using the lime last month. I'm going to try and put it down about once a month. So you wet it in then rake it or just throw it out?? Trying...
