This is our first spring with chickens on our acreage. We usually put Casoron out at least twice a year for weed control, but I'm worried about my chickens. I know to wait until it rains to put on the Casoron, but how long should I wait till I let my hens out? Thanks for your help!
When I cleaned out my coop today, I noticed that one of my hens had two blobs of black, runny/gummy, very smelley poo. I have never seen this before. Is this a sign she may be getting sick? They all free ranged today and I didn't notice any other symptoms. All my hens are 5 months old...
My chicks were out today and I noticed they were fighting over something in our yard. They were eating the mushrooms coming up in the grass. Is that OK for them to eat? I am a newbie and it worries me that they may have gotten into something that isn't good for them! Thanks for all your help!
