We have "chicken wite" on the outside of our wire mesh run...30x30...and turned it out and slightly buried 3 feet all the way around. Found one snake and some mice...no rats...otherwise nothing has gotten in...we have a stretched bird net...for fruit trees...covering it...help up by 8 foot tall...

I have 2 barred rocks, 2 orps, a brahma, all at about 16-18 weeks. I...
I have the same problem with my jg. Noticed the head down running backwards seizures on Friday, started her (and subsiquently the rest of my chicks) on parakeet multivitamin today. Need to find some selenium. Can't find it at tractor supply or pet smart, any suggestions.
