    Rubber for lining floor of chicken coop?

    So, It may be 4 weeks or so before I get my new barn coop. It won't be warm enough to use BJ 75 until probably late March. Do you think I could use linoleum to get my chickens in sooner, then clean it all out and do the black jack later when it warms up?

    Rubber for lining floor of chicken coop?

    Awesome, I may be looking at that over cheap linoleum, or do Black Jack 57 first to waterproof, then a piece of linoleum on top to be able to pull outside and scrub. Hmmm... choices...

    Rubber for lining floor of chicken coop?

    Not to hijack you post, but I'm building coop as well and thinking of floor options... is this Black Jack 57 washable? Like scrubbable with soap and water? Thanks!

    Tylan 50 injection dosage

    I think it's helping to do two doses, that's all I can fit in on work days. A lot less swelling around her eyes and she's trying to open them a bit more and acting a little perkier! Thanks for the advice!

    Tylan 50 injection dosage

    Here's my girl, Princess Poppy. This is her 3rd bout and Terramycin eye ointment wasn't doing the trick. So we're on day 4 of Tylan 50 once a day...she is improving, though!

    Tylan 50 injection dosage

    Oh, hello, thanks! I'm giving her the injectible as an oral and my chicken guru friend said that's fine to put in the water as well. But since I'm just treating one hen I just do the oral. But I will get some to keep on hand since all the stores are out of it when you need it! Any...

    Tylan 50 injection dosage

    Hello, I know this thread is a bit old, but I am looking for Tylan 50 directions, too, and stumbled on your post. My hen looks much the same but not quite a swollen. I started Tylan Sunday but only 1 dose a day. On here it seems I should be doing it way more often. 2 is the most I can do...

    Something getting into chicken coop

    I know the little biting midges are bad around here and can kill chickens, they crawl in their nostrils and suffocate them. It would be more likely to happen during the day though, I would think, they don't like darkness so they chickens will stay hidden during the day. Has he noticed this...

    Feed sack recycling ideas??

    I used a few to make waterproof seat covers for some free chairs I was given. I cut a board to fit and stapled the bags over. No padding in case they leaked but so far so good. I can replace them when they get too worn and faded. I like some of the other ideas above, too!

    Draining chickens abdomen and getting green-tinged fluid

    So last night she was in good spirits, and even ate a little oats and pellet food from my hand, the first I've seen her eat in a week or so. Also, it appears more of the fluid has leaked out on it's own before the puncture healed up. This morning she is sitting down, more labored breathing...

    Draining chickens abdomen and getting green-tinged fluid

    Hello! Not to hijack the thread but I just drained my 2 year old buff brahma and the fluid was pretty dark yellow green, foamy but no bad smell. Smelled like chicken broth to me weird huh? Should I drain her again? I too am afraid I got the intestinal fluid or something... she's probably a...

    5yr old hen, retaining liquid in the breast area.

    I too am searching for water belly help... my hen is miserable and I tried to drain her myself (not easy and I was very nervous) I removed about a cup of liquid but it was a darker green like maybe bile mixed in? Then she started gasping and coughed up fluid. Then I stopped and want to try...
