    Can I spray paint my chickens feet?

    I have 30 chickens including 16 rowdy teenagers and 2 babies. I think one or two of my hens have mites and I know I need to treat everyone (and the coop, clean out bedding, DE, etc). My plan is to go into the coop at night to apply the mite powder, otherwise I can't catch them. Once I've...

    Poncho?

    Every time I open my brooder to visit my chicks (5 weeks old), I end up getting pooped on several times. Their favorite spot seems to be the back of my shoulders. I tried paper towels on my lap, but they just wanted to shred and eat them. I’m seriously considering wearing a poncho when I sit at...
