I use the nutrena all flock 20% pellets mixed with this manna pro stuff at 4:1 . They free range most of the day. 10 birds, get 2 cups of scratch a day as treat.
Use one of those metal mesh tea bag balls to make their water. I put oregano, basil, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, thyme and rosemary...
Please don't put super glue on a wound that large... it's safe to use on cuts but not large gashes. I use it on myself for cuts, but one thing most people don't know is it doesn't store well. A year after the production date it's junk. You can prolong its life a little in the freezer but...
Glad you got that fox but sorry you lost a chicken. Im pretty protective of my critters too, came outside one day and saw a "stray" dragging my favorite chicken across the driveway, took me all of 2 seconds... chicken luckily was uninjured except some missing feathers. I'm still kinda miffed...
Also that "newskin" stuff burns like fire and you'll have one heck of a time getting it out of the feathers as the only thing that removes it is more of it or acetone based finger nail polish remover. It doesn't work in large wounds anyway. It's really only for small cuts.
Don't use hydrogen peroxide on a wound like that. You'll just kill additional skin cells with it. A better thing to use would be Vetericyn spray. They have a poultry specific bottle but the ingredients are the exact same as the dog version. I had a banty rooster that was scalped almost as...
South central PA, i have a couple white laced wyandotte roosters to sell. They were part of a package deal. I already have a rooster and he doesn't play well with other roosters. The one is in perfect condition, extremely healthy and BIG BOY. Has beautiful metallic sheen in the black...
No longer looking. Got a great deal yesterday. A fella traded me all of his white laced wyandottes for 4 little dominique peeps i got on clearance at TSC. He didn't like them because they go broody to much and he wants eggs not peeps. PERFECT! I was in desperate need of a broody hen, none of...
Looking for some Guinea fowl in the south central pa area. My neighbor, another chicken nut up the road and myself are trying to find a bunch. Notv wanting to raise keets, looking for teenage to adult range. She went to a couple of the local sale barns and no one had any but the keets for...
That's a cutie, wish i could... also didn't realize how attached i got to sir peeps until he was gone, wife and i really miss his "conversations". It's odd to walk outside and not get greeted by him anymore.
Also myself, my neighbor and my chicken mentor up the road are wanting to get some guinea fowl, we aren't having much luck finding anything but keets. Looking for older teenage to adult range. If anyone has any suggestions in the south central PA region it would be appreciated. The local sale...
Sir Peepsalot has found a loving home. His new chicken mom raises Serama chickens and decided they wanted to expand into having Old English Duckwings. They built a separate coop and run for just the English bantams. So Sir Peeps will have his own little harem all to himself and no danger of...
Thx! I was trying to get her and the straw into a cardboard box quick but she laid the egg faster than I could get her moved. My poor dog found out you don't try and sniff a laying hen, she came out of there like a lightning bolt and laid into him. It's a shame it happened, he's the one that...
So I moved her out of the bag and put straw inn there instead. Got attacked by Peepsalot and had to rough him up a little. She laid her egg and decided to go broody... On the porch.... Finally get a hen to go broody and she does it on the damn porch instead of in the coop... Now what?
Finally got my first few eggs. Lol,I sure hope they get bigger than this or I'm gonna need to find a miniature egg carton supplier. These would make cute little pickled eggs though.
