Thank you for your replies. Some of you suggested Cheap Cat food? I didn't know they could have cat food. Any brands to stay away from? Any brands better than others? We have a bread outlet store near here. they have 10 - 12 loaves for a dollar marked for animal feed. When they are out of...

Need to make adjustments to the feed bill till I get back to work. I don't want to skimp on quality of feed. Or let any of the chicks go - to new homes or the crock pot. . I have 40 chicks of varying ages. 17 are 10 wks old. I've been buying crumbles. But are pellets more economical? I...

Thank-you for the replies. The temp is due to be higher tomorrow so it will be dusting day. I have a infra red light in with my 8 weeks old chicks. Mainly for the heat since the temp has gotten low at night - 30's. The 8 wk olds aren't too young to dust are they? Or is it dust only if needed...

Haven't actually seen the mites, but some chicks have lost feathers in tail and vent area's. Eyesight isn't the greatest right now. That's the main reason I've seen on this forum. Any other reasons?

I posted this question on another topic. Maybe some of you can give me a more detailed answer. I'll be dusting my chicks this weekend. But I've seen liquid and liquid concentrate of Sevin. Is the dust/powder better or does it stay on the chicks longer? Is there a difference in the...

Thanks for the locations. I'm eastside Indy. No one on east side carries it. I can order Stall Dry thru Wanamaker Feed. Do you know of any one who can caponize(sp) my roosters? I love their crowing, don't want to cull them.

Need to re dust with Sevin. But I have seen the liqiud ready to use spray and the concentrate. Does it make a difference whether it is dust or liquid? Need to purchase tonight to use tomorrow.

My neighbor has feral cats. He feeds about 10 cats daily. I just lost a 2 month old hen turkey. The carcus and the feathers are in the garden. Can feral cats do this?

Just dusted all my adult chicks tonight. I might have over did the dusting on them cause I looked like Pillsbury Dough Boy after they were finished. My DH gave me dust mask and safety goggles to wear. Cleaned out the nests. Shoveled out the coop and put new shavings down. Dusted the nests and...

My friends joke about me being a little crazy for having chickens-38+2 turkeys+2 pygmy goats+1 donkey+1 llama+2 dogs+2 cats Till they say how great it would be to have farm fresh eggs-hint hint. Or farm fresh chicken for dinner.

Have you seen the video? At the end(years later) Fancy returns to the rundown shack. Fancy has the influence $$$ to turn it into the future home for wayward girls. If you have one rooster there will be some babies born out of wedlock. Fancy can help the others.

Fancy's her name. And her mamma helped to her move up town. (Reba McIntire's song Fancy)

Thank you for the reply. My one concern is powder getting in chicks eyes or nostrils. I'm in SE Indy.

We have a guard donkey. Anything moves near the barn he lets loose with that screetching HEEHAW. This sets off the dogs howling. My grandma used to keep a shot gun near the front door. Anyone who stepped on the front porch was greeted with it. Get a motion detector light at Lowes for under...

I have a hen with 2 three week old chicks. Need to dust hen for mites, but what about the chicks? I think they're too small. Plus they get under her, will the dust on her bother the chicks? Never delt with this before-Help!

Our barn is over 60 years old. We used one of the stalls/tack room for the coop. The floor was dirt so DH put down patio blocks-makes it easier to sweep out. Hung nest boxes on the wall. It already had a window. Put up a door frame just inside the sliding barn door and hung a screen door...

Coop for Friends, Friends Coop, Friends Meet Here , etc. Rachel, Ross, Joey, Monica, Pheobe, Chandler - very nice names for chicks. Great find, keep us updated on the progress of the coop. Pics alone the way.

I have been to their place. Easy to get to off of I 70. Very nice people. They were processing when I was there. Very clean and organized. No ugly smells. If you call leave a message and they return calls after their work day is done. I wanted to see the facility before I made a final decision...

We had a chow/lab mix for 10 years. One weekend he got loose and killed my golden laced polish and bbb turkey in a matter of minutes. He was so violent in his killing that my husband made the decision to put him down. He had always been a sweet layed back dog till that day. We have no idea...

8 Comets and 8 RIRs. All are doing well. Moved them from the family room to the barn Sat. They seem to like the extra room. They would startle when the roosters crowed. Last night the crowing didn't bother them. Is there anything a person can do from our end to insure the safe arrival of the...
