My nephew just sent me a recipe for chicken food, he told me I should check out BackYard Chickens, I can get a lot of information. I've told him many times i'm a member.

Any great ideas to stop broodiness? I went out today and now my Blue Copper Olive Egger is broody.

I've got too many chicks already so I can't be getting more.

Well, there is the old hanging/swinging wire bottomed cage method....BTW, LOVE your "smiley"

I can't remember if to keep pasty butt from happening do you add to the chick feed ground oats or ground wheat? I have been addinf something and no problem with my serama chicks but need more and I have nothing to tell me what it is. I do have rememberance problems.

Apple cider vinegar? At least that is what I use...

the picture is a wonderful ad. Are tap worms the most command worm? Chickens will ( try at the very lest ) to eat everything, I assume it is transmitted through wild bird poop, or is there an intermediate host in the tape worm life cycle? Is it the same type of tape worm that infects humans? Other animals? I believe tape worm must be ingested, how do you kill the eggs and worms in the poop? Borax dose something to kill bug eggs, would spreading borax on the ground kill tape worm?
Tape worms are pretty uncommon in chickens. Round worms are supposedly the most common. Of course there are MANY species of round worms. Some easily large enough to see with the naked eye, others are microscopic. And then there are other types of worms entirely.

No, too young to know what questions to ask. She was into Heath food, made her own vitamins from rosé hips, candy flowers, unrefined sugar, her own root beer from bear root. It was one more thing that was my grandmother. That side of my family came to this county in the 1700's, so a long history, I think that the gray stuff was a clay to remove poisons and toxins. Taught to her from her pioneer family to prevent food poisoning, with no refrigerator, death being part of life, I am pretty sure it was a clay.

Wonder if it wasn't some derivative of diatomaceous earth..(sp)..it would be pasty or clay-like if wet....

Oh well...I got one out of 3 though. I just hope to find them a good home and be well cared for like they are at my house. (spoiled!!)

Am still pretty sure, she is still a she. Her comb is still small and no streamers like the boys

I remember it was slippery on the tung, a little gritty,I worked in ceramics, more of a porcelain smoothness, but I just can't recall the tast only that it thought it was dirt. It must of been. I will now have to see if I can get some and tast it, see if it connects to a memory.

She was a hell raiser as a kid. She ate tomato's in publics on the street. The Decency League paid a visit to her mom and that she had to do something about Gracey. It was so immoral to be flaunting herself eating that poisonous sinful fruit. Unfortunately were they had moved from tomato's were not only in flower gardens, but on the table. She sent them away, informing them that she ate tomato's also. Hot tomato] comes from.
