Ok I got mine today. How do you mix it? Use it?

1oz to gal to mist the birds, 2oz per gal. for vaporizer for respiratory infections DO NOT USE THE AH(activator) around or on the birds or yourself.Its for Heavy Disinfecting with Amimails out of the area.

Hmmm I have the AH. It was all I could find. Now what? I don't have a vaporizer. Can I use a fine mist to spray the birds? Can I not use the AH? I thought AH stood for animal health. I read not to use it activated but not sure how it is activated! OK you add citric acid to "activate" it which is the bad stuff I think. I did not get the citric acid.

I have room for about 200 eggs.
so bring one or fill the incubator. makes no difference to me.
and room for about 88 more after the 8th.

So, I've got a problem that just started about a month ago and I'm looking for some help. I have 8 hens that are laying and 25 hens that are about 2 months from laying. The 8 older hens use the nesting boxes just fine, but some of the other hens like to get in the boxes during the day and kick the shavings/straw out of the boxes. This is results in broken eggs and a mess of straw. I've seen people suggest blocking the boxes for, but I need them for the other hens that are laying. Any ideas?

Sure a couple of them
1 put something like a paint paddle acros the front of the nesting box so the eggs can not roll out.
2 dump a pile of grass clippings or a pile of hay in the coop so they have a place to scratch and dig in ..

Had a blast today at Chickenstock. I sold the only bird I took and did not bring anything home except Tricia's
Honeysuckle jelly.

I sold lots of honey and had so much fun talking with all my chicken friends...new and old.

OH Mary it was so nice to finally meet you!...Oh a sad note HAHAH....all the honey I got from you today will be my fathers bday gift. Mom said he was excited about it. I didn't have the heart to say it was mine LOL so I guess I'll taste it at their house and will later on have to get my own.
