I want to try this and use my hova bator egg turners in it. I think it will work but I'm not sure. The turner is 15 by15.. I don't have the cooler yet but I saw that the inside is 15 at it's width. Has anyone made this cooler on its end, using egg turners?
hmmm,not sure about a tick causing the swelling but it sure looks like what happened to my rooster after he got a little frost bite. i treated it with neosporin and he was all better.
i have used recycled paper before several times with no troubles. And I'm pretty sure they may have ingested some of it as well. if you are worried put out some extra grit for them to help digest and pass what they may have swallowed.
I would get two or three hens for your lonely one. And start out by keeping them separated but able to see each other and visit just to make sure they all will be nice to each other. Chickens can be mean.
:thumbsupAlso by having an additional two or three they will help keep each other warm in...
:clap I live in Miss. Have had chickens now for 2 years. Love em!
I have one Buff, A bunch of Red Stars and Araucanas, and a few Rode Island Red Roosters.
And a few black and white beautiful speckled ones that I forgot the names of.
I hatched out a bunch of chicks this year. They are coming...
