Good heavens. Those poor chickens look like they’re going swimming in mud!The weather seems to have gone from bad to worse. The chickens did come out for a bit. There were even a few pellets in the round feeder when I got there. It started to rain more heavily at around five and the chickens retreated to the coop run. That meant I could leave a bit earlier than usual.

Good info. Thanks!Well, it's an anti-nutrient, both for people and animals. When binding with calcium it turns into oxalate, which may stop other minerals absorption, and cause kidney problems : https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1439-0396.2012.01309.x
I also find it kind of pretty, but it drives my partner completely crazy. He's done all sorts of things to try to get rid off it without any success .
Oh! I remember now! Didn’t you get them out with dry ice?Unlikely. There was a colony of rats under the shed. I saw the first rat going up the ramp to the coop one day. That's how I knew I had a problem.
I’m pretty sure my immediate neighbors are not, but you never know for sure.My warning was primarily aimed to people who live in those semi rural settings where people have large gardens perhaps or farmland nearby. You can find out discretely whether or not any of your neighbours are using poison.
I'm surprised Henry II is still white. That's quite the lake of mud. We had a warm day here and the chickens were enjoying scratching around in the mud.The weather seems to have gone from bad to worse. The chickens did come out for a bit.

It's held in place by suction now!Good question to which I don't know the answer. I think originally it just rested on the ground but over the years the base has become buried under the accumulation of mud and chicken shite.
Yes. I killed all of them at once. The dry ice was super effective.Oh! I remember now! Didn’t you get them out with dry ice?
