    Treating for the "Bugs"

    I'm trying to be proactive instead of reactive regarding the pests that chickens can get. I have a bottle of Permethrin to use all around the coop and run prior to the arrival of chickens to kill all bugs onsite. I also have some DE that we use in the garden nearby which will be mixed in the...

    Show us a pic of your isolation cage

    The ones that have the solid sides, not the all wire that fold up. I have a good size one that I'll use for transporting chickens, but would like to modify it if and or when needed for a sick/new chicken as a quarantine

    Spray Coop and Run........

    Chicken Beginners, Are you Proactive or Reactive?

    What made you start raising chickens, without knowing the basics on how to raise chickens? What came first, the chickens or the knowledge?I don't have any chickens yet, as the coop and run are not quite ready. And when it's ready I won't be having all these questions about "it's very cold, will...

Having chickens for eggs is not my main reason for having chickens. So if I stick to my guns and only having 4 chickens one more would not hurt down the road. I...
