    Dry Milk, safe to feed?

    Hi Everyone, I got a box of leftover dry milk that nobody seems to want to drink in our house. Can I just mix this into my chicken's feed? Or am I better off mixing it up with water and letting them drink it? Have a great day and God bless. -kelly

    Dog waterer with Microban

    Hi Folks, I just went to Petsmart and bought a dog waterer that is 2.75 gallons. This automatic waterer has Microban built in to resit germs and such in the water dish. Is this harmful to chickens? I figure if Microban is built into human and dog/cat products, should be okay for chickens...

    Hi Everyone, Glad to be part of this website. Was wondering for the catawbacoops type of design or any other A-Frame style of coop, how do you clean the attic? If its mainly made with 2x2 with some sort of plywood, you can't really hose it down or disinfect it right? Do chickens not poop up...
