    Ortho Bug B Gone? (tick problem)

    I found an old thread about Ortho Bug B Gone Max but there was no answer about how safe it is around chickens? The ticks have already begun to crawl here and we usually use this stuff to keep them in check all summer. If it's not safe can someone suggest something that is safe but effective to...

    Our own dogs!! :(

    Our dachshunds have been doing fine with the chickens. We have a new dog (about a month ago) and newer chickens (a week ago). I let the dogs out and we lost ALL our newer chickens. Polish, cochins and silkie. :'( If we put up a electric fence up for the dogs so that the chickens can run while...

    When do predators & pests start?

    We've had chickens since March and have been lucky so far not to have any pest problems (that I know about). When will the problems begin? My girls don't lay eggs yet; will it start then? They're also out during the day, roaming. Are they at risk then also? (We don't have a stray dog problem -...

    How/where do you store your feed?

    I've thought about buying one of those horizontal sheds or some sort of Rubbermaid tub with a snap lid to keep outside the coop to store the feed in. Then I thought it would be better to ask what everyone else does and learn from your experience! I know it needs to be waterproof and pest/critter...
