    Early chick integration

    @Mrs. K Do you have pics of your Wooly hen and run? That’s sounds intriguing but I’m such a visual person it would help me to see it. How do you attach the wool to the top and what keeps the hens from pecking it all off and eating/pooping on it?

    Early chick integration

    Ok, I removed the brooding plate and turned off one of the window unit heaters in the shop. It will get colder in there tonight then they are used to but still have one heater on and the lamp in the brooder. The shop is 30 ft wide and 40 ft tall and metal so it gets cold in there. I really...

    Early chick integration

    @rosemarythyme I can run an extension cord to the coop. And I can also start weaning them off heat in the shop asap. I will remove the brooder plate and turn off the heater in the shop and at that point they would only have the heat lamp. I have chicken wire and zip ties coming out my ears.

    Early chick integration

    Hi Peeps! I am wanting to do the early chick integration method but I can’t wrap my head around how to make it work. I have four 3 week olds that I want to integrate with an existing flock of 8 hens and a rooster that are 1 year old. I read @rosemarythyme article but having trouble applying to...

    Blood Smeared Eggs

    Nope, shells seem ok. I offer oyster on the side in addition to the feed. I mean I don’t have to smash them to break but they don’t just explode when I crack them either. Normal for my girls I would say.

    Blood Smeared Eggs

    Just for my piece of mind, can someone take a look here? I have an 11 month old girl that has layed 65 eggs so far (with only 1 or 2 being bloody) before going into molt and winter break. IF she molted it was a very soft molt cause I saw very few black feather. Since starting back she’s layed 5...

    Why does safe-guard have an egg withdrawal time?

    @castportpony Ok so I did it right just have to toss eggs for 2 weeks….or I can switch to the lower dose and not toss. I haven’t seen worms or had her tested since no one around me will do it, but she is thin and half bald so I am going to worm her and see if she gains some weight. Everyone on...

    Why does safe-guard have an egg withdrawal time?

    @casportpony I know this is an old thread but @Eggcessive told me a couple days ago that it is 1/4 ml per pound so for my 5.5 pound bird I just now gave her 1.3 mls and was going to to that for 4 more days. Did I just way over dose my hen?? Can I switch to the super small dose you mention...

    Worms, possibly Threadworms

    @Eggcessive i have safe gaurd liquid and need to worm my flock. So 1/4 ml per pound of bird 5 days ans that’s it. Not second round right? Can I put the liquid in a small piece of bread? I’m terrified to try to squirt it in their mouths.

    Need Clarification - Depluming mites?

    @Wyorp Rock thanks for all the info! They are all on 20% Kalmbach full plume and have been for a few months. She rarely gets pushed off food and is normally the first one to the food every morning. Her crop looks like she is smuggling a baseball by bedtime. I rarely do treats, maybe once a...

    Need Clarification - Depluming mites?

    @Wyorp Rock I have had her for about 5 ish months and she came from a huge place. Was told she was a couple of years old but don’t really know. I got her and a sweet Roo at the same time and I did quarantine them for 2 weeks when I got them before integrating them. Was told she was picked on...

    Need Clarification - Depluming mites?

    Ok I have a hen that I got from a lady as a kind of rescue. She was being bullied in her flock. I have come to the conclusion that is was not bullying but depluming mites. I have heard that they don’t necessarily spread to all the others cause if they have food they don’t need to. None of my...
