How much ACV per gallon? (for adults) And how much ACV per quart? (for chicks) Thank you.

What product do you use to treat your wooden coops/nest boxes/roosts to kill and/or prevent mites, lice, and other insects? I'm looking for something that I can easily pick up at TSC or somewhere tomorrow. Something easy and ready to spray would be nice. Thank you!

Can a newborn chick get fowl pox, if the flock is currently affected?

Thank you! That sounds simple enough.

I have 3 hens in a pen, and I'm adding 3 pullets, that aren't yet laying, and a cockerel. What's the best feed to give? The hens get laying pellets, and the pullets get starter, but I'm thinking of buying finisher now. Can I give all 7 finisher? The hens aren't laying much now anyway from...

Cute!

I have been doing this, and they barely touch the pellets. So I was thinking I need to try another brand, or maybe use crumbles verses pellets?

I recently started feeding my hens laying pellets (as they're coming "of age" and started laying), and they seem to lay more with it? I even quit for a few days, as I was concerned for them overlaying, and they stopped laying "as much." With the pellets, they lay every day; without it, they lay...

It seems like it would be bad on a hen to make them lay more? Maybe that's just silly thinking... But my chickens are pets, so I want them to live a long, healthy life, not really interested in tons of eggs. What about an older hen that no longer lays? Does she still get layer pellets?

What poultry feed would you recommend for adults chickens?

One of my hens has suddenly loss some weight, and I had made no changes to her diet. Since losing weight, I've started giving her extra feed high in protein, and that's not fixing it. I figured worms could be the cause, so I came here to learn about worming them...

Sounds good. I plant cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, watermelon, and cantaloupe every Spring, so I guess I'm covered.

What's a good leafy green to grow in the garden during the Spring/Summer for chickens to eat? My chickens stay in a pen, and I can't free range them daily. Collards are gone now, so I need some ideas for what to plant, as I'll be planting my garden soon. If not a leafy green, then what...

Thank you!

Thanks! Very helpful. I see Tractor Supply carries Safeguard for goats, and it's $20 (for 125 mL).

I bought my first chickens around October of last year, and I'm still learning! I have 4 bantams, and I managed to get them dusted for Spring, now I'm trying to figure out how to worm them. Sadly, I'm quite clueless in this area, so please, bare with me! First off, how do you worm them? Do you...
