    Sick Chickens!

    We have had similar problems. Treated them with Duramycin then sulfa, both in the water. Duramycin did not work so hot. It kept coming back after we stopped treatment for two weeks. Then we switched to sulfa and that seemed to do the trick so far. The only problem is that we can't eat the...

    Which spray should I use to de-louse my coop/nesting boxes?

    diatomaceous earth works good for me. non toxic to the birds but lethal for insects. I even use it to kill ants around my fruit trees.

    I NEED INFO ON SEBRIGHTS :D please

    We had a golden seabright rooster and he was really agressive, especially toward children. He also disrupted the rest of the flock(full sized birds) so we gave him away. Some friends of ours had both seabright hens and roosters. They terrorized all their full sized hens and roosters, even RIR...

    integration not going well

    We have the same problem. Introducing young araucana with older birds. We installed a chicken fence divider in the coop so they are all together but they cannot peck the smaller because of the fence between them. After the araucana gets bigger, she should be able to be integrated with the...

    ready to buy a 22!!!!

    It may be a good idea to get a trail camera for your coop so you can see what is happening. They are relatively cheap now. For a .22, I would recommend a ruger 10/22. A Marlin .17 HMR with a sweet 17 scope may be more to your liking though. It will shoot flatter, faster and are extremely...
