Hi, my plans were taken pretty much directly from the Woods book, improvising a bit for my pop door location and window sizing. The best I have is the images of my build. Sorry. The one thing that was a bit sketchy was that the book does not really show much of a header for under the upper...
ARG we don't appear to be able to get Acidified Copper Sulphate here in Canada, only copper sulfate...I don't feel confident that they can be used interchangeably!
Hi all. I have read many articles and forums to help me deal with what I think is doughy crop in one of my ladies. I have tried what feels like everything to clear it. I've tried the yeast buster recipe, monistat and also flucanozole. The crop remains fuller than it should be and still doughy...
Hi all. I've got an 18 month old Ameraucana hen who has been laying super thin shelled eggs for several weeks now. She is about molting age from what I'm understanding but has not yet entered a molt that I would recognize. She has a bare bottom but has for quite some time now - not sure what...
I bought some Sweet PDZ last time I was in the US but it really is just Zeolite in a smaller grind. I've mixed zeolite in to stretch it out and that worked just fine. Because I don't know when the border will open I will likely try this next time, out of Airdrie http://www.tigaacres.com/zeolite.html
Hi all, Happy Mother's Day to all of you who are mammas!
I have only one of my original flock left, an Ameraucana who was bottom of the pecking order, and have purchased two RTL pullets. I have a Woods coop so I've fenced off the front of the coop and the new girls are in that section so they...
Too late for that :) My purpose in getting a pup is non-chicken related, just hoping they can co-exist in their separate functions but on the same property.
So far, pup is most interested in chicken bedding/poop. Chickens are curious about her but she seems, to date, less interested in them. She is only 12 weeks old though so that prey drive to chase stuff is only just clicking in. She's also only just discovered the power of her sniffer. We go out...
She's a Portuguese water dog, locally raised by a CKC breeder. Hoping for a confident little friend who's active and smart but with an off button. So far the off button on the puppy biting has been a bit hard to activate :lau I love black and white too. I wear a lot of it and I do find that...
So many rescue dogs turn out to be just great dogs. I was looking for a non-shedder this time and they tend to be harder to find at rescue orgs. Obedience is non-negotiable. We've had our new pup, Wren, for 3 weeks so far. She has been near the coop, helped me 'check in on' the girls, but that's...
