    Don't know if I will sleep tonight...

    This is what we use, I’m not convinced that an animal couldn’t pull those fasteners you’ve used out.

    Ok to use?

    There are all kinds of little bugs in our coop, not sure what they are, but we had problems with mites in our previous coop. Our new coop is much larger and I’m hoping it would be alright to use these bomb sprays as long as the chickens aren’t in the coop. I plan to clean all the shavings out...

    Fertilized or not?

    I've never had a hen with emerald green feather, but I've had two roosters.

    Fertilized or not?

    I'm not sure, but the wattles definitely look like a cockerel to me and am I seeing some emerald green tinges on the tips of some of the feathers up by the neck?

    Fertilized or not?

    I believe your cockerel is the black one, on the ground, in the last picture, between white and silver.

    Suggestions for a VERY muddy run?

    We temporarily solved the problem with pine shavings and pelletized bedding, going to add more this weekend with all the snow melt recently.

    Suggestions for a VERY muddy run?

    Thank you, had never heard of it until someone else suggested it. We purchased a bag and put it in the far area of the run (the sun room) and used pine shavings in the rest of the run, which helped tremendously. This weekend I plant to add more due to a lot of melting going on and water...

    Thank you for your reply, we keep a pile of large woodchips, but it's under snow. Next year we will keep a pile accessible for use in spring.

    Thank you for your reply, our issue is with the amount of snow melting, hopefully spring will be here soon and all the snow will be melted! :)

    Suggestions for a VERY muddy run?

    Never heard of Orchid bark, the good news is, we live in Northern Maine, which has a lot of chip mills. We have a pile of wood chips that we keep on hand, unfortunately it's under snow. We were able to solve the problem with pine shavings and pelletized bedding.

    Cystic Oviduct or Ascites?

    We have a hen that presented with what we believed to be Ascites approximately 8-10 months ago, but when I drained the fluid it was clear. Over the past few months she has gradually filled with fluid again, therefore today, I again drained 2 1/2 cups of clear fluid. All videos I’ve watched...

    Suggestions for a VERY muddy run?

    Thanks for the response, we do use wood chips in the run, but our pile is under snow, therefore was looking for another alternative until we could get some. I took the shavings from the coop and spread them in the run and purchase one bag of the pellets for the sun room area, it made a big...

    Suggestions for a VERY muddy run?

    We have pea stone, with large wood chips on top, but the mud was coming right up through, will replenish the wood chips this spring. The ground has frozen again here, therefore our problem is solved for now. I did take all the shavings from inside the coop and put in the run and purchased a...

    Suggestions for a VERY muddy run?

    Thank you for your response, I purchased a bag of the pellets and then everything froze up resolving my problem for now. We did spread them in their sun room that is under a smaller coop we have in case of a sick chicken, there was a lot of water in there, therefore anxious to see how it works.
