    Producer’s Pride Brooder and Coop Heater

    Does anyone have any experience using these to brood chicks? I’ve been looking into getting one, but haven’t heard much about how they work. Also, can you brood chicks with them on the heater setting? My brooder won’t fit it laying flat so I would like to flip it on its side.

    Bumble foot Cures

    When I was locking up my chicken coop for the night, I noticed one of my chicken’s feet were swollen, and I think it may be the early stages of bumble foot. She’s also the only one that won’t go up on the roost on her own at night. I had read that if caught early enough, an epsom salt bath may...

    Winter Run

    I’m looking into putting a plastic wrap around my chicken run for the winter, to keep snow out and hopefully keep some of the warmth in. This is the one I’ve been looking at, does anyone else have experience with it or know if it’s safe to use around chickens? Any input would be appreciated, thanks.

    Eating Feathers

    Tonight when I was watching my chickens on the roost, one of them was picking and eating feathers off of the smallest bird in my flock next to her. What is the best way for me to discourage this behavior so my small bird doesn’t get henpecked?
