Hi all! We have just started raising chicks a cple mths ago. We are located in Hempstead, Tx We have 8 buff Orpington ..absolutely love my girls. We also have 2 dogs and 12 cats. Except for the chicks, everyone is a rescue. Does anyone have a recipe for a natural cleaner for the coop that won't irritate the chicks?

Laugh all ya want, my “surgery suite” is a whitewash of lime mix. With a triple bath of all cracks and crannies for mites over the last month...... kept everyone out in run and backyard while it “aired out”....

Hey Texas Chicken woman, I am in the big city of Coldspring, on Lake Livingston, and yep that deep east Texas. 60 miles north of the big city of Houston. Just wanted to say Howdy and keep your chicken feed dry.

Mite free (fingers crossed) it appears that is the outcome.
Yuppers.
Yes, me too- something fierce...(my flea story I think is listed here somewhere back several weeks.
Returned the red girls from hospital crate to main flock yesterday and during same time as the spraying of the coop; discovered one hen had a very sore leg and would limp where ever she walked. So in the medical crate she went yesterday. Definitely has a hip problem.
