I have a polish roo that is about 22 weeks old. I have 25 RIR same age that really like to peck his head which make it start bleeding and they wont leave him alone after that. Ive tryed pine tar and about every thing eles and notting seems to work.
Any body got any Ideal what might stop them...
I think about doing another batch after this one. I have to keep them in the shed do to all the coyotes,coons and all other things that like to eat chickens. I keep them good and clean (not really that hard ).
Well as most of you know we are going in to winter and is getter colder faster this...
I have a 8x12 chicken house with a dirt floor i wish i could keep the dirt floor. but it is just so dusty mostly because the chickens dig holes in the floor.
so i was wanting to know if i could just put about 2 inches of ag lime down to keep the dirt and the dust were it belongs

IS there anything that your can put on chicks that are for eatting and egg laying .
the blu kote can say not for animals to be eaten. But what can you put on them that is safe for eatting.
