Someone recommended Eprinex. I think it sounds like a simple treatment for winter application. Looks like there is an egg withdrawal period of 14 days per application?

Hello! I recently learned that my chickens have lice. I would TYPICALLY use Elector PSP spray, but because of the below freezing temps (and winter in general) I am not sure it is the product to use now. I am looking for recommendations for products that work and egg withdrawal period (if there...

Do you know if there is an egg withdrawal period with this product? Thank you

Don’t let her good looks fool you... This beautiful girl is a BULLY to one of my other chickens. Both are Delawares. Pictured is Matilda, I have had her about a year now. She is part of my original flock of 3. This past fall, I added 3 more to my flock. She has been a bully to the new...

Thank you so much for your response!

I have a patch of these bushes in my yard and I would like to put my temporary fencing around them to give the girls shade and more protection from hawks... But I do not know if they are safe for the girls to be in. One or 2 sites say no, the rest yes... so confused.

Barefoot in that there are not many times during the day that I have my shoes on! I was actually a baker and when I goat started my business it was out of my house and at farmers markets. I was called “The Barefoot Baker” because, yes, I did bake barefoot!

Thank you! Scary being a first timer! :)

I have been keeping them in my garage, I have gotten the temp of the garage up to 80+ degrees by opening all the doors when I am around during the day. I do have ventilation... I think you can see the long response and photos that I have just posted. Thank you!!!!

I have attached some photos of the coop. It is walk in.. There is a 4 foot tall door... Windows (that open) on the west side, I just added 3 floor vents in the walls of the East side to allow cross ventilation. We also added 2 soffit vents on the north and south side for added ventilation. I was...

Hello, We are having quite a stretch of 90+ degree weather here in Colorado. I have just completed the finishing touches on our coop and am ready to introduce the chickens to it. I have 10 (9 week old) chicks. I have a 5x6 coop with 2 windows 7 vents 1 screen door... I am under the impression...

Thanks so much for that bit of info!!! Looks like I will be painting this weekend! Latex?

Soon.... VERY SOON!!!!

Hahahaha!!!! That is the cleanest bird ever!!! Not many eggs, but clean and doesn't eat much! It was a placeholder for me until the real birds arrived! Thanks for catching it! I plan on 10. 4 silkies, 2 Cochin bantams, 1 welsummer, 1 Ameraucana, 1 Easter Egger and 1 Barred Rock. I think one of...

My boyfriend had always wanted to try to tile... we thought this would be the prefect opportunity to give it a go! Thanks for noticing! He is quite proud of it!

I hope to only have them “cooped up” during our cold winter days. The winters here on the front range in Colorado have been quite mild the past few years... I have been doing everything I can to ensure that their run is secure. Making myself a little crazy trying to make it as tough as...

Please share the inside of your smaller coops. I have a 5x6 coop that we built this spring. I am not 100% happy with the way the plans have the roosts set up. I am wondering how others have set up the inside of their smaller coops. Where are your roosts? Food and water? Thanks!

Thank you all for your input. That is what I was thinking too... Just didn't really want it to be true... :)

Do you think it is safe to say this is probably a male then? I really appreciate your feedback. I would not even attempt vent sexing... seems a little invasive to me...
