    Pecans and Free Range Chickens

    I have a pecan tree in my backyard that has mass produced this year. I free range my hens in my backyard. Is it safe for me to pick these pecans with my hens free ranging? My concern is the pecans mixing with chicken manure.. Hope someone can answer my question. Thank you!

    Chickens pecking

    Need to use Mentholatum and really rub it in and on their beaks as well. They hate it with a passion. Also, check to see if they are too crowded or too hot as well.

Any processing information...

    Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it very much. I can't take it back, it is inside my feed bin. Although I do still have the bag it came in......next time, I'll check the label on my bags before opening them up!!

    Medicated Feed and Eggs

    My hardware store gave me Medicated Starter Grower instead of Layer Pellets by mistake. I just discovered the mistake this morning. Are the eggs edible after being fed this Medicated Feed? I'm going to call my store and hopefully they will replace my feed without charge!

    Tomowa is Butcherin' Day! Newbies

    I've been doing a lot of reading. Just can't seem to find out if I need to put the chickens in water to let them rest in the fridge after the butchering. My husband, father-in-law and I are all gonna do it the old fashioned way. Scald, pluck and clean the guts out all by our own hands.
