    Female duck with an eye problem

    She has a severe eye infection. I found through a local poultry group. The lady said to get a strong terramycin ointment from the local vet and the Tylan was ok. Anyway I'm going to keep with that group and ask Nifty to delete my profile from this site since I've used it less and less this...

    Female duck with an eye problem

    My duck has what appears to be swollen tissue in her eye socket. I haven't had ducks long (year) and never had a problem till now. When you see her the head lt looks misshapen on top because of this. I checked her closely and her eye itself looks fine. She can see because she blinks at my...

    Question about worming my chickens with vinegar.

    There is some speculation that vinegar may acidify the gut of chickens and can be used as a mild preventative to help keep worm loads down by making it inhospitable. It won't do much for a bird that has a heavy load of worms though.

    Hen eating eggs @$$##!!

    Try your best to find the culprit. My neighbor never found his and all his chickens eat eggs now. They will teach this habit to the others. I retrained one hen by keeping her away from the others for a long time. She "forgot" about egg eating and focused on making her way through the pecking...

    Using leaves for deep litter bedding?

    We use them. We also throw them into the chipper too. They seem to be much more absorbent when broken up some. Water oak leaves.

    Small, Economic, Attractive Coop- is it impossible?

    I have three ducks. They use just a large plastic dog house. Something like that will be fine in the winter for your location. When it is warm here they stay out in their run area all the time anyway. I planted a rose of sharon bush in their run and protected it till it got larger size for...

    What do YOU do with the poop?

    The usual compost pile. My dad puts a very small trail of the soiled bedding between his corn rows. During the late fall and winter the chickens are in the garden so we just toss in there and they spread it around for us. Makes the plants happy in the spring.

    Ever make a coop out of random household items?

    If you can find a neighbor that has a solid old Satellite dish you can make a round coop with it as the roof. Those have multiple uses coop, gazebo, storage shed, aviary etc. Mine is going to become a gazebo because I don't feel like any more coops for the time being. Here is a photo from...

    nesting box: shavings vs. hay?

    Neither I just use old 70's fluffy rubber backed bathroom mats cut to size. I had problems with hens making little circles with the bottom of the nest box exposed and breaking eggs on the hard surface. It's easy in that if it gets dirty I can spray them off with the hose and hang up to dry...

    Oak leaves for bedding?

    I've used it before. I sent through a chipper though that blows into their coop. It makes it more absorbent being a little broken up. As long as it is dry.

    IVERMECTIN- treating 4 week old chicks. *EDIT*

    chickenofthesea-Don't feel bad. If they are on the ground they will find earthworms themselves anyway. I let mine out to free range and they dug through all the mulch pile and ate all the earthworms. It is just a chicken thing.

    Treating Chickens with sevin dust please help!

    If you put the sevin dust in a nylon stocking you can powder puff them. A little easier than dumping it at them.
