    Ivermectin -- last resort cure for parasites?

    First we used De to just dust the inside of the henhouse and the hens. That seemed to work but then we had to move the henhouse and we used that excuse to do a major clean and took apart the hen house and cleaned and sprayed the henhouse with Sevin. That seemed to take care of most eceryone...

    Ivermectin -- last resort cure for parasites?

    ...so it's a new henhouse. We took the house down and cleaned and sprayed it and then put it back up. Most of the hens are clean but one which is *very* affected and not putting on weight because of it. I wonder since she is a low-on-the-totem pole chicken if it's where she sleeps that's...

    What`s the nastiest thing you fed your flock?

    Ditto on the mouse. We had one run into the chicken yard as my husband was chasing after it to kill it. Man, that was a bad idea. They tore it apart. My chickens aslo go crazy over leftover spaghetti.

    Processing my first rooster 15 minuets from now..HELP..lol

    Catching Turkeys (or chickens or ducks) 1. Wear gloves: Turkeys’ legs are hard, and scaly, and their wings are very strong. Their legs are also probably muddy. 2. Enter the coop and close the door behind you. 3. Move smoothly, and try not to crouch like a predator. 4. If the birds become...

    Cable TV vs Satellite TV

    After many many years of cable I am going to try dish TV starting in January. I cannot imagine not watching the news or silly things like "The Walking Dead" or "Weeds" in the wintertime when the girls are asleep. I read and am a nice person in general, what's life without a little junk in...

    Son keeps threatening suicide

    ...be involuntarily committed for at least 8 days. That does not look good on custody paperwork should his ex decide to ever take him to court. *He* needs to seek help from a professional. If he is serious and he feels like he may harm himself he can go to any ER and be assessed. Otherwise...

    Processing knives

    ...We use branch loppers to cut off the feet and the neck. Fast sharp and not messing up my expensive knives on bird bones. If you want to *dress* the bird like cut it into piceces, then a sharp chef's knife for the meat and the paring knife again for the tendons. You don't need a cleaver...

    So embarassed... I think I traumatized my pullet.

    Give her a nice warm bath to make up. You can dry her inside or with a blower on low. We did that by accident (well not for 2 days just one workday) with our chicks when they were small.
