I use vanilla christmas trees from autozone or walmart. I have about 6 in a 9x10 coop and fly problem is almost nothing. But as an earlier poster suggested gotta be dry.

Mark I sure hope u get this resolved. I am going thru the same thing. After finding the gapeworm in dead bird I used the eprinex and after not seeing any impovement I went with the safeguard in the water. After using the eprinex I have not found any worms in the dead birds but each one had...

Thanks dawq53 for the answer I was hoping you would respond. How would you administer the safeguard, in the water, down the beak or in food? Thanks Herman

I started a new flock about 2 months ago- have lost 6 out of 33 birds so far-birds purchased from 2 local breeders-2 of the birds were killed by other birds in joining the 2 groups- the other 4 deaths have occurred in the last 3 weeks. I have pulled my hair out trying to figure out the problem...

I recently decided to get some more chickens for personal enjoyment. I had a young man do most of the work on building a 9x10 coop and a 20x10 run. I could not do the work because of health problems. Yesterday I came home to find the covering on my run had broken loose on one corner and I...

Tiff Most of all the problems with predators that do not fly can be solved with a single strand electric fence. I am builing a coop and run fairly predator proof but I had always planned on adding the electric fence as a safety measure. I lived on a farm most of my life and the electric fence...
