    Cleaning feeders and drinkers

    So possibly a dumb question but I was wondering if anyone has ever washed their plastic feeders and drinkers in their dishwashers? I'd like to give them a good deep cleaning. Normally I soak them in vinegar and some dawn and scrub them well. But I'd like to give them a good sanitizing. Just a...

ANYWAY, I wanted to research sexing, which I have found answers, but along my search I came across this video. If you want to...

    HELP! Silkie has repeat lice and now dark runny poop

    My 4 year old silkie hen gets lice often and I treat her and they go away and come back again. Not right away but they do. I keep an eye on her rump and keep it debris free and she’s usually a clean hen unless she’s broody. Today I was holding her and saw a louse crawl across her face. Scrubbed...

    App issue

    Does anyone else have problems with the app freezing, glitching while your typing and it messes up your posts and scrambles your wording all over the place? It worked fine for the first week or 2 but getting a little annoyed.

    Golden or Blue Laced?

    So back in March, I had bought 4 “Blue” laced Wyandotte pullets from TSC. I lost one within the first week but after they started growing, I noticed I had a cockerel, oops.

    Mixing different age and size chicks together

    So I have 4 silkie mix chicks that are 4 weeks old and I have 7 average size mixed breeds that are 8 weeks old that I want to put in same pen. Out of the 7 there are 3 cockerels for sure and I know 1 silkie is for sure. Do you think this will work or not?

    Pullet or cockerel

    A friend gave me this chick due to her thinking it was a cockerel. I’ve had an EE adult hen before but not a chick or a rooster. Any idea on gender?
