    Mites in my coop

    Hi: Well DE stands for Diatomaceous Earth. I buy it at the local Agway. Not sure if you have one around you. I think you can buy it online. You can dust the rooster with it too. The other thing I use is a mite powder sevin 5. Here is a link about it: http://www.poultryhelp.com/sevindust.html...

    What is my mystery chick?

    I think you may be right. I just went on McMurray hatchery and saw the picture of the chicks and it looks exactly like that when I received it. What to you think about the sex?

    What is my mystery chick?

    It does. One person said it looks like a silver seabright and I looked at a chick picture of the seabright and mine at 1 day old looked like that as well. But the seabright is a bantam chicken.

    2 Barred Rocks Stopped Laying

    OK. Well it sounds that I should give them more time. But why are my BO's laying and the light or cold doesn't seem to bother them?

    2 Barred Rocks Stopped Laying

    I bought these 2 from a guy back in July and he told me that they were 9 months old. It took them about 2 weeks to settle and start laying. They both like to get into the box and lay their eggs. My 6 BO like to lay on the floor. One of the BR's molted in the fall and I know she stopped laying...

    Raccoon in Our Chimney?

    Last year I had a raccoon in my attic. Totally freaked me out. I heard this scratching from the attic. My boyfriend went up to the attic and peered in and there where 6 bright eyes looking at him. I had a broken vent and yes there were 2 babies. I went on the internet and read that they don't...

    What is up with those crazy Massachusetts folks?!?

    No. the DJ was just joking. They were just making up stories about how this could have happened. I live a couple of towns over on the Cape. It really is quite funny. Maybe someone had a party out there but it is sort of cold for that sort of thing right now.

    What is up with those crazy Massachusetts folks?!?

    Hey. I live in MA. Sort of funny. A DJ on the radio said a 12 boy who was tired of hearing his parents telling him to practice hired some moving guys with his allowance and moved the piano out there:lol: Pretty funny.

    when do cocks start to crow

    I have a BO rooster too. I got him at 4 months and he was already crowing when I got him. So now he is about 6 months and he crows all day long! I don't mind it and no one has complained yet.

    Oh NOOO! Raccoon found me!

    I have seen them out in my yard during the day. This past winter I had one in my attic with babies. I had a broken vent and it was either able to scale the side of the house or jump from a tree to get into the attic. (I have a 2 story colonial!) I have a 6 x 12 dog kennel for my run. I have seen...

    Mites in my coop

    I threw the bottle out but it is sort of like Orangeguard. It is a pesticide. I need to go back to the nursery and buy more so I will update you with the brand name. ACE hardware said that all the stores carry the Orangeguard but I went to my local store and the employee had no idea what I was...

    Wow I figured they would be bad in the summer and die in the winter. I guess I better watch this carefully.
