    Chicken poop vs allergic dog

    It’s funny you mention the probiotics. I had her on them at one point and they helped clear up some digestive and skin issues. She’s undoubtedly been on numerous antibiotics due to chronic ear infections (it’s why she was surrendered to an animal shelter per her paperwork) and shortly after...

    Overbreeding and Feather Picking

    ...We all had tried many things only to discover that most didn't work and the ones that did, had limited success. (Before you run and order Forco, read more of the thread. It didn't work.)

    Feather picking/eating now!

    Thank you. Ordered so far: pinless peepers, Forco, getting cat food tomorrow. Thought the dry would be okay but I'm getting cans. The only reason they're not still on flock raiser: I'm in the middle of nowhere and it's hard to find here! Same with chick starter; have to drive 40 min. for that...

I have 70 hens and one of the coops is nearly all bald and they will not stop plucking each other or...
