    Topic of the Week - Dogs and Chickens

    Yes as far as I can tell. I didn't see any with those ingredients and it didn't claim to. I went ahead and put some so it would have some sort of barrier.

    Question!

    Thank you very much! That’s very helpful! I really want some Golden Comets but I’m trying to figure out how to have more of them or at least very close to it without having to buy a few more every year or so.

(the ones in and the ones out)...The hens here look similar to Australorps or black Jersey Giants to me but the roo doesn't haha. I was wondering what breeds I should try this with if I did. I assume some would do...
