Arizona Chickens

Well a day of chicken jail followed by rehabilitation snuggles did the trick! Flock is integrated, no blood, no missing eyes, just hanging out nicely! 🕊✌☮🏳

I have officially and formally declared WAR.

Giant centipedes are attacking my chickens, their venom has killed 3 and all my brooders and travel cages, instead of holding chicks, have causalities of the centipedes. And I am unsure if they will truly recover and the State Veterinarian has no idea of recovery or long term affects.

Step 1 is to put floors in all the coops then raise them up, but I really need a nuclear option to get rid of these from my property. I am beginning to feel like I am stuck in a 'B' horror flick

Any natural way like salt maybe to help get rid of them?

Hello, new here. Pretty sure I've dug up a centipede a time or two on my property. Are these an issue? Just wondering what I need to be concerned about besides hawks, owls, coyotes and snakes.

I use the gallon sized concentrate of the Gordon's Permethrin 10 and follow the instruction's on how much water to add. I have been using it to attack the ant's around here. 2 year's ago some of the ant's ate a batch of my chick's up out there in the grow out pen. But, this stuff will take care of a lot of different type's of insect's. It's for use on livestock, and that include's poultry. This gallon size will last you awhile, as it is a concentrate.

I lived near the ocean (Hawaii), and there were plenty of centipedes there, so they dont care about salt. There is a deterrent you can use, but i don't think anything kills them except a 2x4 or using tongs to place them in alcohol. The deterrent is necessary because they all travel on a path.. so if you're seeing more than an odd one, you're on the centipede freeway.

I'm about 10-15 miles north of your area, and I've seen a few small (baby?) centipedes (could be milipedes). I have a small tupperware container that I used for ant bait (ants can get in, but beaks can't), but like the idea of something safe for livestock like @BlueBaby suggested!

Being as this is safe to use even in the coop to spray the ceiling, wall's, nest boxes, and floor for killing spider's and etc., when you mix up a batch you can mix it into one of those 2 gallon sprayer thing's that they use for spraying weed's in the yard. Spray it while the chicken's are out of the coop and let it dry before they come back in. In this heat it won't take long to dry.

I've had issues with my big incubator, holds 24, out of the last batch I hatched maybe 5 out of 22. Could not for the life of me figure out what the heck was going wrong, well, this time I taped the lid on using painters tape, only opened it for the candle on the 7th and 14th and then the 18th. 19 out of 24 eggs went into lock down, as of this morning I have 12 hatched and 2 more rocking, if I were to end up with a 100% hatch, would not hurt my feelings any. I've got at least 8 sold, and as cute as they all are, he might buy the whole batch.. I am tempted to keep one of them, it's a NN out of my blue egg from the Wingette. Starting to sound like chick day at Tractor Supply, lol.. The first little guy is maybe 5 mins old. He's # 12
