    Cleaning feeders and drinkers

    So possibly a dumb question but I was wondering if anyone has ever washed their plastic feeders and drinkers in their dishwashers? I'd like to give them a good deep cleaning. Normally I soak them in vinegar and some dawn and scrub them well. But I'd like to give them a good sanitizing. Just a...

    Lice treatment help!

    So I’m going to treat my flock with Martins Permethrin 10 % for a lice outbreak. I need some advice on how much to treat each bird with. This is my first time using this. I am at my wits end and desperate! I had tried poultry dust, diatomaceous earth, avc, herbs, sevin dust. I don’t know what...

    Book suggestions?

    I love having books and reference guides on hand for quick answers and reading material (book worm). I’d like to learn more about raising guinea’s, I have some eggs incubating, and I’d like to learn more besides pins and boards I’ve found on Pinterest. I’ve had hens in the past but they were...

    For Giggles

    So I’m researching guinea fowl. I have some eggs in the bator so this is new to me from keets. I had 4 adult hens in the past but that was a terrible experience for me. ANYWAY, I wanted to research sexing, which I have found answers, but along my search I came across this video. If you want to...

    HELP! Silkie has repeat lice and now dark runny poop

    My 4 year old silkie hen gets lice often and I treat her and they go away and come back again. Not right away but they do. I keep an eye on her rump and keep it debris free and she’s usually a clean hen unless she’s broody. Today I was holding her and saw a louse crawl across her face. Scrubbed...

    App issue

    Does anyone else have problems with the app freezing, glitching while your typing and it messes up your posts and scrambles your wording all over the place? It worked fine for the first week or 2 but getting a little annoyed.

    Safest times to free range?

    I had 5 hawks yesterday afternoon. Farmer was cutting a hay field nearby. Luckily everyone was under cover but talk about panic attack. Out of all the predators, they cause me the worst panic. I had a hawk swoop down 20 feet in front of me and snatch a chick who was 5 feet from its mom. I...

    Need advice on concrete floor maintenance

    I had a really bad outbreak a few years back and I lost all but 10 chickens (I had 40). They started becoming lethargic, pale combs, stopped eating and drinking and I had no clue wth was happening. Then I read The Chicken Chick’s book and just cried! I had 8 ducks at the time and from the sweat...

    Must have supplies for clean coop

    I had no idea a cedar coop would be safe good to know! I have so much straw in my hay mound from when my family farmed but it’s so dusty unless I pick from a good spot and I notice that if I get a bad batch, my oldest silkie hen always gets lice. She is a lice magnet! And DE is a waste of time...
