Hi, wt* is this? How can I help her?

Hey @R2elk thanks for the tips. I gave the poults 1cc of liquid b vitamin.comlplex in their water, and also a pound of soybean mash (49%). They look so much better today, much more alert and active.

Hi, does anyone know what specific parts to order for the metal pipe frame, and the tarp? I see the tarp is solid white, is this color intentional? Is there a reason the tarp covers the sides as well? Is the metal frame made of electrical conduit pipe? What diameter?

Thanks but my understanding is that this is top quality food. He uses the same vitamin additives as all the other feed manufacturers in the area. ?? With regards to the space I will prioritize getting them outside into a tractor this week.

I actually just rehomed a rat terrier who was more interested in killing chickens than rats. My Carolina Dog (a wild American dingo) kills 1-2 rats a night and leaves them by the door of the coop for me. I highly recommend a dog in the coop to protect the chickens from rats at night (and minks...

I give them raw venison in season (fresh roadkill). One dog hesitated at first but I guess he was hungry. They also like to hunt baby cottontails in their run.

It's a 22% non GMO mash that is locally milled. It has 2x the nutrition packets as his 16% layer feed. Contains corn, soybean, wheat and oats.

Hi, this is a 4-week old Broad Breasted bronze from Hoover's. I recall selecting all of the poults from the bin and none had this deformity. How did this happen? Should be culled now? He is still eating and drinking independently but the other poults are standing on him and nipping at his feathers.

Good point. They were sneezing last week after being outside. I'll try tetracycline.

The dogs can only eat so many raw eggs before one gets diarrhea. And I always cook chicken for them because I don't want them to develop a taste for raw chickens...

I will as much as possible, but I don't have running water yet. Just rainwater collection and a pond.

Frankly I wasn't sure what specific tasks were talking up all the time, until experimenting with a longer hose to refill the duck kiddie pool.

Hi, thanks everyone for your input. I am trying new changes each day to improve efficiency. So far the most impactful have been buying a hose that reaches from the pond to the barn, and the orchary, so water can be pumped up to the barn. I think this saved me two hours total yesterday instead of...

Thanks you were right, the nail sheath was stripped off the declaw. It has healed on its own so far.

Hi, this is a 3-week old Broad Breasted White from Hoover's. She's been in a zombie pose for several days. About half the size of her peers. She's had B vitamins, and corid, no change. Any way to save her?

Zone 5b/6. It gets down to around 15'F in the winter. Can you share a pic or link to the horizontal nipples? Thanks

Hi, can anyone recommend the right type of nipple or drinking dish for this water tank for my chicken coop, and where it should be installed (side wall, bottom surface), and how to install it?

Sorry, I meant 250W.

Is there a way to do this without the cost of powering several 1500W heat lamps, one in each box?

Thanks @McChooky. What about fencing in a portion of the pond, like one strip of it? How feasible is it to plant tposts and fencing underwater, maybe 4 feet deep?
