Noticed 2 of my girls have lice around their vents. I don't want to dust them with any chemicals. Yes I do use DE in the coop bedding but would like to kill the critters on them? Suggestions? Thanks
My rooster started sounding hoarse yesterday and the day before I had sprayed him down with a non-toxic spray for mites and lice from Tractor Supply. I also dust their coop after thorough cleaning with DE before the bedding goes down. I have always used the DE with special care but yesterday he...
I have never sold any eggs. I guess I do not really know to much about shipping eggs! I am going to be shipping birds now though. I finally received my shipping boxes!

I just received these 2 beautiful lavender silkie chicks from California and I live in Ohio...Even though they are off of heat, it has been getting in the 40s and 50s at night. Should I still provide them with some sort of heat since the climate change is so different from where they are from?
Thanks for the compliments! Never in a million years would I have thought I would have lap chickens...yet...I never thought I would have chickens in the first place! I have become chicken addicted to my silkies! Getting nervous and excited to start my first incubation today! Input from anybody...
