    Spoke to Elanco regarding Elector PSP

    I was hoping the Elector PSP was just making the mites more active before they gave up the ghost, but no, I still have the same problem I started with. It is exhausting and expensive. I had a dream the other night that I solved the problem with a match.

    Spoke to Elanco regarding Elector PSP

    I followed all the directions for spraying the premises and the chickens and I think I have more mites than less…and I am exhausted 😥

    What do you wish you knew before you built your coop and run?

    Wish I would have come up with a plan enclosing properly and easily for the winter and vice versa.

    What do you wish you knew before you built your coop and run?

    Don’t forget the broodies that will get one over on you every once in a while and one hen will equal one + 12 chicks = 1 hen and potentially 6 roosters and 6 pullets.

    Foot stabbers… good to know. Thank you!

    Spoke to Elanco regarding Elector PSP

    I was wondering if you know something about why there are different instructions for mixing solutions of Elector PSP when comparing the maker’s instructions and websites such as “the chicken chick” and others?

    What do you use for your walkways? (it's a soggy mess over here!)

    Could you use the mulch that comes from a local tree trimmer company?

    What do you use for your walkways? (it's a soggy mess over here!)

    Ha! I got a vehicle thoroughly stuck in that slimy stuff. I actually slid off the road like there was ice on it instead of mud. I hope there are some answers to this problem. I always thought you could make the stuff into bricks if you had a kiln.

    Ditto. I hope there are some good ideas come through here. We are up to our ankles in poop soup.

    WARNING: Cackle Hatchery

    Sorry for the delay. I just saw this. I went to pick up the chickens with my fiance and when he saw the hatchery’s board with a list of the species and breeds they had available to buy directly that day, he decided he wanted a turkey. So, I asked the three women at the counter, is it wise to...

    3 week chicks, acting fine but suddenly dying

    I am so sorry. I know it is heart breaking. One of the best investments I ever made was a brooder plate so that the chicks could crawl under it to be as warm as they need be. I always adjust it so there is a high side and a low side so they can decide where they need to be. That is along with a...

    Mites, lice or something else?

    A magnifying glass or stereo/dissecting scope help immensely. Feathers can be (gently) collected at night (some mites are nocturnal), then add a drop of mineral oils to the feather to immobilize any creature attached to he feather, and take a look. Remember to break open the feather shaft to...

    How to avoid being scammed?

    Thank you for your reply. I think I will give Facebook a wide berth. I am just not sufficiently knowledgeable to sort out the good from the bad.

    WARNING: Cackle Hatchery

    Hello, I drove three hours to collect my poultry directly from Cackle Hatchery and they were in poor shape the moment they handed them to me. I stopped on the way home to pick up warm water and so I could get electrolytes into them. I also purchased “hot hands” to keep them warm. I only lost one...

    How to avoid being scammed?

    So, what is the best way to recognize and avoid being scammed when you are looking to purchase poultry from someone reputable? Facebook just freaked me out a bit.
