    Diatomaceous Earth

    Is it safe to put DE in the coop and around the coop if I have a hen raising 2 chicks? I would like to try to control some pests but I am scared I will hurt the babies. Also is it safe to use around the nest boxes? Would it taint the eggs in any way?

    Bantam Rooster trying to "help" the big rooster

    Whenever my black austrolorp rooster is trying to mate with the females, my little bantam rooster goes and jumps on top of the female but under the big rooster. He tries his hardest but I don't think he has a chance at getting close to the ladies. Should I worry about this and try to stop it...
