    Chicken's pecking other chickens feathers

    Our silver laced wyandotte is getting her upper chest/lower neck feathers pecked by our Buff Orpington. The Buff was really sweet as a chick but now is a bit of a loud mouth and a bully. We have an Americauna who looks interested in modeling the behavior of the Buff too. We only have 3 chicks...

    Food Grade DE???

    I was under the impression that any DE that comes from Perma Guard is food grade and fit for even human consumption.

    Playhouse at Walmart...possible convert?

    That would make a great coop for a few chicks. We're in the city and I build a coop disguised as a playhouse/coop. Wish I would've seen that. Probably would've converted it into the coop. Easier and cheaper.

    How long can chickens stay on start/grow feed?

    Now THAT sounds easy and simple. I was under the impression that such high protein wouldn't be optimal for the full grown chickens but it if it works without problem, sounds GREAT! Quote:

    Does white DE mean food grade?

    I saw some at a feed store the other day that said "Diatomaceous Earth" but also said "Red Lake Earth" on it. It was also gray. I didn't trust it and based on some speculation on some research/Googling I did I stayed away from it. Going to bite the bullet and order the Perma Guard food grade DE...

    Another Way to Water Chickens

    I have tried the rabbit cage waterers without much success. They drank it but not as much as they would had I let them use our regular waterer (typical mason jar style). I have tried a 3 inch PVC pipe waterer today. It's about 24 inches long, capped on both ends, and has 2 big holes in it...

    homemade feeders by RendonRoo

    Probably a silly question but do they ever try to roost or get up on this feeder or is it too close to the corner? Quote:

    Does anyone use the nipple water drinkers?

    OK...looking at the Farmtek website I see 2 different types. Can anyone advise or provide insight giving a recommendation of one style over another? If I'm not mistaken, one of them has a grommet, and they do sell replacements for it. The other model, I assume I wouldn't need any replacement...

    How often should you apply DE?

    LOADS of info in the link below. Go to post #20. BTW, where did you get it? I'm in central Ohio and I'm still looking for a source nearby where I don't have ot pay shipping.

    Another Way to Water Chickens

    We're currently trying to transition our three hens (5 weeks) to a rabbit/gerbil waterer. The first few days they didn't seem to drink much. Some, but not as much as they were with a regular waterer (that kept getting messy...). We are on day 3 and they are taking in much more. They definitely...

    What's a good price for DE Diatomaceous Earth

    That's what I keep finding too... I'm looking for a place in central Ohio. I did find a nursery that sells it but is out of stock right now. I have heard that microbreweries use it too. I might check out a few in the Columbus area. Good luck finding it in your area. May you find it CLOSE and...

    Rabbit waterer for birds

    OK...we're trying to use a rabbit type water bottle. 2 out of the 3 seems to be doing OK with it after a few hours with the bottle (took the regular waterer out) but they definitely aren't getting/drinking as much as they usually do. So... I just put the regular waterer in just to see what they...
