ok more info sharing......

DID YOU KNOW...Chicken Comb~can draw heat away from the body AND have blood circulating through them, which is cooled as it flows through, helping to keep the brain and vital organs safe in hot weather. There may also be a warming effect in cold weather when sunlight shines directly on the comb. The comb is the only soft tissue of a well feathered chicken exposed to cold night temperatures. PALE COMB CAN BE SIGN OF ILLNESS....

Did you know that if you have poultry or waterfowl and they get into something toxic you can use Epsom salts or molasses in water as a flush to help remove the toxins? We have the mixing instructions as a sticky at the tops of the duck and goose areas.

Calling All Worms -- Find an area of loose, slightly moist soil (the dirt under a log or landscape timber works well) and push a 12- to 18-inch-long stick two to three inches into the ground. Vigorously rub another stick from side to side against it for about 2 minutes and watch as any worms in the vicinity wriggle to the surface. Try several areas in the yard to see which ones are the hottest worm hangouts.
