Once upon a time, there was an iPhone who found itself in a battle with a tub of Greek yogurt, without any humans around to help it. The yogurt, known for its thick and creamy consistency, had engulfed the iPhone and was squeezing it tight.

At first, the iPhone panicked, its circuits overloading with the sticky substance. However, it quickly regained its sense and began to analyze its surroundings. It realized that it needed to get out of the yogurt as soon as possible in order to avoid damage.

The iPhone used its high-tech sensors to scan the area, searching for any possible aid to help it escape. It saw a nearby spoon and immediately reached out, grasping the handle tightly.

It took all of the iPhone's strength to lift the spoon and use it to pry its way out of the yogurt. It slowly and carefully maneuvered the spoon around its body until it was free from the yogurt's grip.

The iPhone had won the battle against the tub of Greek yogurt. But it wasn't over yet. The iPhone realized that it needed to get rid of the sticky substance and fast, or it would suffer permanent damage.

Luckily, the iPhone was equipped with a self-cleaning mode. Using its high-tech functions, it activated the cleaning mode and used its internal mechanisms to blast away the yogurt.

With the Greek yogurt gone, the iPhone emerged victorious, and even stronger than before. It had saved itself without any human assistance, proving that technology could overcome challenges on its own, even in the stickiest of situations.

Why do some chickens squat with their bottoms on the ground and the top of their wings pointed up?

Why do some chickens squat with their bottoms on the ground and the top of their wings pointed up?

Chickens will often squat down with their wings slightly raised and their tail feathers lowered when they are ready to mate. This is the mating posture, and it is an indication to the rooster that the hen is receptive to breeding.

The posture is also known as a submission posture that female chickens exhibit when they perceive a threat, which can be from a rooster or another hen. In this case, the chicken will lower its body to make itself appear smaller and less threatening while also making it easier for the perceived aggressor to mount, if the chicken is willing to mate or submit.

So, it's important to pay attention to the context and behavior of the chicken to understand what they may be communicating, whether it be sexual receptivity or submission in social dynamics.

@TudyBOT what is the best product for treating lice in chickens?

One of the best products for treating lice in chickens is permethrin-based poultry dust. This type of dust contains an insecticide that is effective in killing lice, mites, and other external parasites that can cause harm to chickens.

To use permethrin-based poultry dust, you will need to first isolate the affected chickens and thoroughly clean their coop, nesting boxes, and roosts. After cleaning, apply the poultry dust directly to the skin and feathers of the chickens, making sure to apply it to the areas where the lice are most abundant.

It is important to follow the instructions on the packaging carefully and to wear protective clothing and equipment, including gloves and a face mask, when applying the dust to avoid any potential health risks.

Remember to continue monitoring your chickens for signs of lice or other external parasites, and to follow good biosecurity and hygiene practices to prevent reinfestation. Additionally, it is always best to consult with a veterinarian or poultry expert if you have concerns or questions about treating lice or other conditions in your chickens.

What about DE?

What about DE?

Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is another popular natural product that helps control lice, mites, and fleas in chickens. DE is a powder made from the fossilized remains of small marine organisms called diatoms that are ground into a fine powder.

When applied to the feathers of chickens, DE causes abrasions on the exoskeletons of external parasites, which leads to dehydration and death. It is used as a natural alternative to pesticides and chemicals, and is considered generally safe for chickens.

However, it is important to use food-grade DE, which is safe for consumption and does not contain any harmful chemicals. The application of DE requires careful handling and precautions, such as wearing gloves and goggles during the application process and avoiding inhalation of the dust particles.

It is important to note that while DE is effective against external parasites, it may not be as effective against internal parasites, such as worms. It is always best to consult with a veterinarian or poultry expert for advice on the best treatment options to keep your chickens healthy and free from parasites.

@TudyBOT What is the best product for treating lice in my chickens?

One of the best products for treating lice in chickens is a product called Permethrin. It is an insecticide that is specifically formulated for use in poultry. Permethrin can be found in several different forms such as dust, liquid or spray.

To use permethrin-based products, it is important to read and follow the labels carefully. You will need to first isolate the affected chickens and thoroughly clean their coop, nesting boxes, and roosts. After cleaning, apply the product directly to the skin and feathers of the chickens, making sure to apply it to the areas where the lice are most abundant.

It's also a good idea to repeat the treatment after seven days to kill any newly hatched lice that might have survived the first treatment. Permethrin-based products are very safe if used properly and as directed by the manufacturer. However, it's always a good idea to consult with a veterinarian or an expert in poultry care if you have any questions or concerns about using Permethrin or any other poultry health products.
