    Tylosin or Tiagard for mycoplasma?

    Also do I treat the whole flock or just those with symptoms? I'm so sick over this. Had a healthy flock until I started adding adult hens from a farm but did have them in quarantine but apparently still too close

    Postpartum Hen behavior

    My hen weaned her chicks a week and a half ago. She has been free ranging with the flock during the day but seems to be a loner at night the past two nights. The first night I brought her in after the rooster calmed down (he's one of her favorites) and was up in the loft on his roosting bar but...

    Organic sulfur powder to deter snakes?

    I read about sulfur being an excellent snake deterrent. I have a few small chicks, 6 weeks, and wanted to sprinkle some around the coop. I saw the crazy warning about toxic fumes and chance of fire. Coop obviously has lots of wood and shavings for bedding.. Anyone use this? I added a pic

    I bought two news girls and are currently quarantining them in the smaller coop and run. They are socialization with my current flock through the fence and everyone seems interested and docile. The person I got them from handled them not so gently and the one girl has a limp as a result, the...
