Hi all-
Up until recently I have been relying on animal husbandry books and some farming friends to keep the girls healthy. Then I searched online and fell into the rabbit hole.
The amount of online advice from people like the Chicken Chick, Fresh Eggs Daily, and a plethora of others is always so different. Lately it is the use of DE, giving your chickens oatmeal, and using sand in the coop/run.
I would like to hear from you all what you think about the above topics. I don't use sand only because I cannot compost it and we get brutally cold winters here. Thanks!!!!
