    Poop boards and PDZ/sand

    I use the strainer/skimmer I purchased from Amazon. It has a 36" long handle so very little stooping. I'm looking at purchasing a square one as well. I use stall dry on the floor of my coop. I did use a poop board but it is easier to clean the floor with this strainer/skimmer. Very efficent.

    dosage confusion

    I have been giving my silkie Poultry Cell in her water but she does not drink much so I want to start giving it to her by syringe. I've read on BYC that 1 mL is the dosage. My syringe starts at .1 mL and goes up to 1 mL. I just want to make sure I'm not overdosing her by giving her a full...

    silkie can't walk

    I have a 4 year old silkie hen that can't walk anymore. She just sits on her haunches. I have had her separated from the flock for the past week and have been giving her Vit. B12, Poultry Cell, Powdered Calcium, and boiled egg. When I pick her up she flaps her wings and moves her legs but when I...

    Hen won't walk

    I have a 2.5 year old hen that seems to have a problem with laying around. She can walk and will run if she feels threatened. But when she is still she lays around (lays down like a regular chicken). She seems to walk and run okay (that is when she is on her feet). There was one time when I saw...

    left out overnight

    I had two silkies that didn't go into the coop last night (temperatures went down to around 51). It was rainy and damp and still is today. I caught them and dried them off as best as I could. Should I do more, like putting them in the coop and turning on a heat lamp until they dry out)?

    Rooster acting up

    I have a white rather large silkie that became the devil incarnate! I had to resort to carrying a stick with me when I would go in the run. This started just as he neared sexual maturity. I was ready to execute him but to my surprise, like overnight, he became as tame as all of the other...

    Roosters or hens?

    I have two silkies (out of 10) that were born in February. Of the 10 I know for sure than one is a rooster (he crows all of the time). I had assumed that the other 9 were hens. It has been bitterly cold (in the minus single digits) the last four days and I have kept the chickens in their coop...

    burned eggshells

    I left my eggshells in the oven a little too long and some of the membranes burned. Can I still feed the eggshells to the chickens?

    spreading lime in outdoor chicken run

    Diverting is probably impossible. My yard has quite a slope to it. I know I need to dry it out, but I don't want the chickens to be running around on saturated, muddy ground. I do plan on getting bags of pine pellets to spread around until I can get more playground mulch delivered. This last...

    Has anyone bought Sweet PDZ lately? The price has more than doubled! Gotta find a different product. Any suggestions?]

    spreading lime in outdoor chicken run

    We have had quite a bit of rain lately here in Kentucky causing what was left of my playground chips in the outdoor run to be washed away. Now, the outdoor run is pretty smelly. Is it okay to spread lime on the ground after the chooks go to bed and let it get soaked up? Will it reduce the smell...

    I, too, have bought the Rural King meat bird crumbles for my silkies....twice! Both bags have literally been nothing but dust. l am going to have to go back to Tractor Supply. Also, I just read the following in a post, "Meatbird food is formulated for fast growth for birds that are intended to...
