I don't, thought about it but never followed through. Never really had or saw or thought a need. When I did think about doing it it was just to do it

I have given them wazine once in the water years ago but never saw a single worm. I just figured I would do it since I have an awful lot birds running around.
Gotta be honest I have enroll a few cocks in fat camp. My fault since they were in with setting hens and eating most of the feed.

I'll finish worming them all and then again in 10 days and see if anything changes which I doubt but at least then I'll know.

Realistically I'd rather overfeed a lil especially up to about a year and a half or 2yrs old. My philosophy is they need all they can get building muscle and breast. It's a lot easier to take some off than build it. If they a lil heavy so what they not fighting. When I butcher mine usually have a lil back fat and sometimes along the breast bone.

Yeah true. But i will try to bring them back down. These are 2 yr olds plus I will cut back on feed some in the process. Two in particular I can tell are too heavy just by looking kinda mad at myself for not noticing sooner. Not really a big deal like u said I'd rather them be a little heavy than light.

Make u a few flypens. Friend of mine has some and a few have let's call it hurdles all across the bottom at different heights from a flat 2x4 to about 2 feet high so the stag/cock has to always be going up, under, over to move they always moving too. I think they're 4x8x8 tall with roosts

I may. My yard is already an obstacle course. If I add anything else I'll lose my mind. Still wanna put up a few teepees though.

I have a high tension power line behind my house. The hawks sit up there all the time and watch my chickens. Mostly red tails. They ain't that efficient at killing chickens though. It's the little ones u gotta watch out for. Can you tell what kind of Hawks they are?
