I have this:

Peter Brown, the chicken Doctor has information on his website too.

I have Large Fowl. I think it was a squirt under each wing at the body & a squirt at the back of the heck/neck. I think I saved that post but maybe Ron will chime in. It was different for the bantams. I just got mine from Amazon a few days ago & haven't been out to do it yet.

one on the keister, one on each side for bigger LF,  take away a side squirt for smaller LF  1 squirt from the back end of a bantam toward the front...does that make sense?

Thank you all! It's for a 4 month old Marans rooster.
So less than a LF, more than a bantam?
I'm eggcited to get my Peter Ovalle rooster and eggs today.
I'm naming the cockerel Pete and and brothers from the hatch: Re-Pete

Yes, the spray is different from using the dog applicator as drops. For your Marans cockerel, one spray under each wing should work.

It's good for 30 days too.

Thank Ron. Do you or anyone have a link for the plain Frontline drops? I've looked all over the web and only found the Plus. At least with the drops I can do my dogs too. I only found the spray

I think the new brooder is a hit with the little chicks. They were able to run/fly end to end and get into all sorts of mischief this morning.

Down and feathers flying but they seem happy. Even the bigger ones can stretch wings a bit in it. Im pretty sure Ill be adding wheels to it in the near future.


Ive been thinking of buying a rabbit cage and sticking a covered nest box and roosting plaform and putting it inside the run when introducing new young chicks to the flock. The all wire cages do not seem to be terribly expensive and have a fair amount of room. Might cramp larger birds but being able to let chicks outside without fear the bigger birds could go after them. Anyone use rabbit cages for protecting isolating birds?

My sister always said she wanted to name a dog Chuck. Then she could teach it to sit up and say...

"Up Chuck!"

The mystery chick. At first I glanced and thought he was a Barred Rock, but when I went to dip his beak I noticed he had a red face mask. Any thoughts?

Thanks guys, that's a good idea. I think I'll either divide the coop or put a makeshift coop outside so the Marans can start living out there. Any ideas what can be used as a temporary coop outside? I was thinking a covered dog crate but they're so expensive.

Garage sales are your friend. But put a brick in front of the door it wont be preditor proof.
