    Why cant i peel an egg?

    I have a GAME CHANGER (that is if you have homegrown eggs). My daughter found this recently - thanks internet- and it works 99.9% of the time. It’s so easy, I’ve been eating beautiful hard boiled eggs for weeks. Wish I’d found this years ago...

    I'm confussed..& need help....Sick hen swollen belly, not egg bound

    Sounds to me like you are doing a fabulous job with her. I've never had to worm my girls (and I don't believe it necessary to treat them if there's no problem) so I can't accurately give you information on how often/much to worm them. But I will say that if worms are the problem, then if one...

    Mites & Lice! What should I do?

    Since your chickens like the box then keeping the box well supplied with DE and that dust should keep the mites away. I tried a box for mine but they never understood, so I just watched to find out where they dust bathe, and sprinkle some mite dust there. If you did a good job killing off the...

    Mites & Lice! What should I do?

    There is no withdrawl on the label. I have never worried. I shouldn't think it would be a problem since they don't consume it.

    Mites & Lice! What should I do?

    DE should do the trick. If you feel like you still need something more, in the past I have used a powder labeled "garden and poultry dust" with active ingredient Permethrin. Hopefully you caught it early enough that the chicks are ok, good thinking not handling them with the same hands as the...

    Next time you give her a bath (I'm assuming you already gave her the one you talked about today) add some epsom salts to the water. It might help her out a bit and it never hurts.

    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

    Ok get this one. I know someone who was trying to raise some meat chickens. They were concerned about heat lamps for cost, risk of fire, etc. So they asked if they could keep their chicks warm with...wait for it... Fur. Yes, fur. I had to stop myself from asking if she was kidding. :lau :he

    Maybe if you have a portable dog pen etc. then you could set it up in your coop to let her be at home yet not susceptible to being picked on. If she seems happy, fabulous. I treat my sick girls with yogurt and other tasties . Hope she keeps up the good feeling.

    I'm confussed..& need help....Sick hen swollen belly, not egg bound

    I had this happen to one of my RIRs, not exactly sure how long ago. She acted very similar to what you are describing. I never did quite figure out what was wrong with her, just as I was planning to humanely "move her on" she died on her own. I really hope for a better outcome for you. I can...

    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

    I was talking to my friend about chickens, when some random person walks up and says, "So the eggs you have can hatch babies? And you EAT them???" I replied with, "Well it's not as if you crack open the egg and there's a fully developed chick inside. It's just a little spot on the yolk, you...
