In my husbands defense, now that I have read the whole booklet.... it doesn't say anything about poultry or grazing animals...... It was clearly a mistake.... but one that we will not forget!! All of my babies are in their coops until further notice!!!
OH GOODNESS..... IT SAYS 21 DAYS.... ....... I don't have a run to put them in.... they free range all around here... there are no fences.... guess I will have to try something..... :(
My husband is lucky he's not sleeping in the barn!!!! I am watching all of them closely... I feed them in the morning when they get out so they may not have free ranged for very long. I am watering my yard as we speak, as I cannot find any information from the company or anywhere else on what...
No one is ill at the moment. They were only out for 4 or 5 hours this morning and I immediately put them back in their coop. Their water and feed were not contaminated. But thank you, I tired to call but they are not open today!!! ugh.....
I have chickens who free range in my yard. We have been bombarded with mosquitoes and ants. My husband went to Lowe's and all he could find was insecticide ... Well I looked online and it is not recommended by the FDA for grazing livestock. But it was too late. My husband sprayed yesterday after...
They are on medicated feed, have been since the beginning. I am going to put a thermometer down, just to check. But he was doing it when he was inside yesterday!!!! Has me a little stumped!! I am going to medicate and see what happens.
He was born on the 4th of July, they were inside in the A/C with mom since he hatched!! I just built them their own coop and put them in it yesterday afternoon. It isn't really bad down here at the moment. They are in the shade and there is a really good gulf breeze blowing. Seems perfect. I...
I've been watching him.... he sleeps a lot... eats a little and drinks. Just put sav a chic in there water this morning. He did drink some. I am going to treat them, including mom with Tylan in there water. Just as a precautionary measure. I noticed he sorta had a hard time swallowing when he...
Hi everyone,
I have a 4 chicks with their mother. I have one with droopy wings, stool seems fine, eats and drinks, but not quite as active as the others and he has labored breathing. He has no discharge from anywhere!!! I am feeding medicated chick feed. I have 12 chickens, all free range. No...
Wow.....that is amazing....what a beautiful set up you have there....and your hen looks very happy..... I hatched 4 eggs in my incubator. My hen wouldn't take them......so I'm raising them.... It's fun and everyone is doing well, at least she has four babies of her own for me to watch.....
I looked on YouTube, there are some wonderful tutorials...... I've had to learn all this on the fly..... But it has worked out so far. I have raised a chick that was left by her mother, and she is now 4 months old. So if I have to raise these, at least I know what to do. This was my first...
