    Milk Thistle?

    I am curious about where folks get their Milk Thistle? I have a chicken that just got out of the vet and was prescribed Milk Thistle along with 3 other meds. As I am checking the prices at various online places I am seeing that I paid exorbitant amounts for the drugs from the vet office (4 to 5...

    Wazine 17 substitutes?

    One of my hens was diagnosed today with Roundworms. The vet gave us Fenbendazole pills for 5 days.

There were tons of fly larva...

    picking up my hens - taming

    I have 4 hens (about 22 weeks) that are very social (follow me around, come when I call with treats) but don't want me to pick them up. I got them when they were about 6 weeks old and have tried to handle them as much as I can. Mainly, I would have to corral them to a corner to pick them up...

    leaving the light on 24x7?

    Hello, I am new to owning chickens. My chicks are 8 weeks old and have been in their henhouse for 4 weeks. I put a brooder light in the house to help keep them warm as the temperatures have been ranging from 30 - 50 degrees at night over the last month - I live in NC. I have been leaving the...
