    Bayer Advanced Fire Ant Killer Dust & birds

    After it rained two weeks ago, I went to feed my little guys and gals only to discover a massive mound of fire ants at one end of the run. I have relocated my birds to their old hutch on the other side of the yard, and tried several different things to get rid of them. After 2 weeks, I got...

    Hello from Grapevine, Texas

    Hello, My husband (and our two cats) have started working on a chicken coop based largely on coops I found here back in August. I got some hatching eggs from a friend of the family, but they don't seem to be doing well (they're on day 12). I am currently chicken-less, but I'm working on it! I...
