    treating intestinal worms - can't eat eggs??

    We are about to begin treating our hens for intestinal worms. We read, somewhere, that we can't eat the eggs during this time. What I was wondering is 1) can they be scrambled and fed back to the hens, and/or 2) can they be incubated?

    zip ties are just too difficult to remove. I don't reccommend them. The easiest think I found was colored velcro ties. They are often used to tie cords together. You can find them in walmart in the sewing/craft isle cheaper than in the electronics area. They can be cut to size and stay on as...

    Ms Jellybean, I've been wanting to respond to your fencing questions. I used that same type of black plastic hardware cloth in my first coop and some in the run against dog kennel panels. It works well to keep birds inside. I don't feel it would hold up against a determined predator. We just...

But recently I started a thread about chicken nipples freezing, it that thread a person responded who has a link to an automatic pop door he has made. Sounded simple to make and I plan on do this soon myself. it is operated by using a car radio...

    Chicken nipples, cups and FROZEN pvc pipes - HELP!

    I can't believe I am the first person to experience this problem. So I am seeking to glean from the experience of others. How do you keep pvc pipes from freezing and bursting when using a nipple, or cup watering system? Can the nipples be inserted into another type of pipe that won't freeze...

    We have used both the chicken nipples and cups for the past year. During this winter though, the pvc pipe shattered in the coop. Luckily the line was frozen enough that 25 gallons of cold water didn't cover our girls. We used pipe insulation - which the girls pick off. Then we used more and...
