    Electrify your Chicken wire/ Welded wire

    That's my thoughts. Be safe. Try it. And see what happens. There could be a very good reason why this is not common practice. Or, it could simply be that companies make more money selling speciality items at higher price points. I am just now putting up my first electric fence. And it crossed my...

    Looking for advice

    This really isn't "small town tyranny" at ay. It is UN "world climate control" being implemented locally. That is the way they are going about all their goals. The UN looks down on all livestock. Even small backyard chicken flocks. Just go to the united nations website and read their goals. It's...

    Sick to death of mycoplasma

    Well one reason is, main reason, the authority doesn't like it when people sell natural remedies. You have to jump through all their hoops. and they would never allow anyone to say, "here is the treatment for such and such". You have to do studies to prove it. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical...

    Sick to death of mycoplasma

    It is so frustrating to hear how people think these days! Of course you can build an immunity towards MG!!!! It is a bacteria isn't it? Does the immune system fight off bacteria? YES IT DOES! How convenient for an industry that can't provide a cure, to tell you to kill your flock! Whatever you...

    Soft tissue injury

    Could be sore up in the hip area. Check there for heat and swelling. I would let him baby it, and watch for bumble foot. It's easy to miss a thorn or splinter the first few days. Maybe let him stand in some Epsom salt. Take a five gallon bucket. Cut a hole in lid for his head to stick out. And...

    Tractor supply or hatchery?

    I disagree. It's not their fault it stor.ed. but they know the chick's didn't stand a chance of surviving that, no matter who was delivering them. Trucks are not equipped for living creatures. They could have bumped your delivery date, and did whatever it is they do with the extras chicks they...

    Could this be two different breeds?

    Thank you so much for the reply! Do you think a small wading pool would be sufficient? I don't have any natural water on my property. Well, a spring. But no waterhole. I think I am going to try and find her a home. I would hate to see her hurt. I have always had a wading pool here for the ducks...

    Mixing 1 week chicks with 4/5/6 week olds?

    Park city Kentucky. It is up the road from mammoth cave. And we are on a road, that is close to the highway. So everyone past us, has to drive past our house to get to the expressway. We have a lot of traffic. It's great for selling stuff. Rural king and tsc can't keep chicks in.rural king is...

    Mixing 1 week chicks with 4/5/6 week olds?

    Oh, and roos. I have two roos. But they will not be for the business. I have some ordered. And will be arriving in a few weeks. I tried ordering some earlier. But there was some issues with the co.pany, so canceled everything with them. It has put me back a bit. But that's okay.

    Mixing 1 week chicks with 4/5/6 week olds?

    I have done it with orpington, salmon faverolles, EE, and mutts. Yes EE are mixed. But I mean purely mutts.lol so mixed that no telling what they are! So far, I have not had troubles. Actually, it's been beneficial! But yeah, some breeds I wouldn't even attempt it.

    Mixing 1 week chicks with 4/5/6 week olds?

    Thank you! Well, I have had chickens my whole life. My great grandad was a chicken farmer. He was "retired" by the time I came along. So ONLY had about 100 at a time lol. How I loved going to his house! He passed when I was 9 yrs old. So, all my family, on that side,have chickens. And I have...

    Ostrich/Emu feed for chickens???

    If you have no other options in your area, then, well, your options are limited. If it does have low protein, add some peas or sunflower seeds to it. If they free range, that too helps a lot. I am concerned that this will become an issue for a whole lot of people in the near future. They are...

    Feed mills

    Remember, they have products to sell. They will be eager to tell you all sorts of things that you"need". Reality is, if you offer a variety of things, they will eat what they need. How can anyone keep a rooster from eating the hens feed and vice versa? I have never worried about such things. I...

    Mixing 1 week chicks with 4/5/6 week olds?

    I have 50ish chicks. (Haven't done an actual count in a while) Lost some along the way. But this is not even half of what I will have. I am starting a hatchery and selling eggs, next spring. Sold many ducklings this past spring. But most likely won't sell ducklings. Maybe duck eggs, if there is...

    Mixing 1 week chicks with 4/5/6 week olds?

    That is how I did it for years too. Till I got tired of having to integrate them eventually. So I began just putting them together. The little ones learn quickly to not get under foot. And will actually use the larger chicks for warmth. Squeezing up under their wings to snuggle in at night. It...
