    Diatomaceous earth

    Mine was leftover from another use I had for it so I'm going to continue to give it a try anyway. It wasn't expensive and I have a bunch left that will probably last years if it does work. If they develop worms I'll change my approach to prevention and treat them with something specifically for...

    Diatomaceous earth

    I won't spread DE in the coop because of the potential respiratory issues(and the fact that it will kill the bugs they are trying to eat) it could cause with them kicking up dust everywhere but I sprinkle some over their food as a preventative for worms. I'm new to chickens so no first hand...

    Hello Everyone at BYC!

    Mine did go dormant for about a month during the winter but my mom's house is always warmer than mine and she's been able to keep hers going year round! Maybe a small room with a heater would do the trick if you wanted to give it a try? They're super easy, they don't smell much at all and...

    Hello Everyone at BYC!

    😱 A thread here was the reason I joined and it said it was okay in moderation. Someone said they were like garbage disposals but I am trying to avoid any sort of processed food for the most part, I just ran out of everything. Thank you for letting me know! The mealworms, vegetables, fruit are...

    Hello Everyone at BYC!

    My name is Tiffany and I am incredibly new to raising chickens. My mom has lots of experience and when she suggested that she would have to find a home for one of her young roosters that was beginning to stress out her hens and possibly eat 4 hens that lay fairly small eggs I decided to take...
