    Permethrin help!

    For very severe cases where the bird is just moving and crawling with mites or lice, you might consider a "Permethrin Dip". You will definitely want to use a diluted mix of .5% in this case. (with 10% Permethrin, mix in 200ml Permethrin per gallon of water.) Never soak the bird in Permethrin...

    New herb garden question

    About two weeks ago I planted my first herb garden with sage, chamomile, basil, mint, and lavender. Yesterday I noticed a bunch of tiny mushrooms under the herbs and throughout the soil. I have no idea what type of mushroom they are, if they are harmful to the herbs or harmful to my chickens...

    Sexing Barnevelder chicks

    I forgot to mention the video is from three days ago (now that it is Saturday). Yesterday I noticed red wattles coming in. None of the other chicks have any noticeable wattles at this time. It's crazy!

    Sexing Barnevelder chicks

    We live in the country and have plenty of acreage for all of the chicks, Ursula/Ulrich included. My husband has become very attached to her and vice versa, so even if she is a he, rehoming would never be an option. 😁

    Sexing Barnevelder chicks

    I have six Barnevelder chicks that will be four weeks old this coming Monday. I purchased them from Southern States and was informed that all six should be female. I'm not sure how they were sexed (feather vs vent) and in hindsight, I wish I would have asked. I would like advice/opinions about...

    Barnevelder chicks with liquid poop

    Thank you for your responses! Yesterday Izzy worsened becoming very lethargic, not eating/drinking, and wouldn't open his/her eyes. We went to an avian certified vet for an emergency appointment.

    Barnevelder chicks with liquid poop

    Hi! I am a new chicken Mom and have six Barnevelder chicks that are 1 week old. I just noticed that two of them had liquid poop. All of the chicks are very active, eating, drinking and playing.

    Taming Chicks

    Today was the second night for the chicks in our home. The first night they were downstairs. They were moved upstairs yesterday after we realized they wouldn't get the rest they needed when my four year old is pretending to be a dinosaur, my husband's motorcycles, ect. This morning they were not...

    Hello to all!

    I remember him. He always had the one eyebrow that was a little higher than the other...gave a mysterious debonair vibe. I must concur with your statement! 👍😁

    Heating plate for new chicks

    I thought about using both the plate and the lamp, but I didn't know if that would have been too much. I removed the plate and tried the lamp. A few have fallen asleep. They appear to prefer the lamp. I thought about lowering the plate more like DobieLover said and maybe having the lamp on off...
