Everything Chicken Chatter Thread

[MysteryChicken]

What do you mean??

Chickens can get diseases from wild birds, Merek's Disease, canker, & various other's like Mycoplasma Galliseptum. There's too many to name.

Yeah, we have tried everything to get them away but they keep getting in the turkey pen, the one pen that doesnt have chicken wire.

Here's something to try.

Put the feed in a secure container, & put a bird feeding station on the far end of the property where chickens don't go if possible?

Their feed is in a large trash can and they get feed in the morning and at dusk because of mice and rats.

Canker is spread by wild birds drinking out of chicken waterers, it's a parasite.

Well, it's not to late to create a new habit for the wild birds.
