Thanks for sharing

Careful what you say! I washed 2 chickens yesterday. One outside and one in the bathtub! Ugh, fluffy butts hold all the poop so good! Lol

I use cut logs for out of site out of mind

Heres to a thriving flock!! 🍻🐓❤️

Great coop

We followed a carolina coop design called the Americana. If i could go back, i would put much more consideration to the external nesting boxes because one is in direct sun ALL day and gets super hot here in CT. I'm considering blocking that box off which leaves me with 2 nests for 5 chickens. 🤷‍♀️

I started with 6 inches of hemp bedding in coop June 2021. A year later and i dont see any need to overhaul it. I have lost a couple inches due to cleaning poop daily, but, the hemp is amazing because it never changes. If there is poop, the hemp dries it out perfectly and remaining hemp is still...

Your habits are almost exact to mine! About 6am we are all lined up at the human door ready to make our lap and check everything out. I too prepare a mash for them (actually served them fermented feed for the first time today). We free range for 2 hours in the AM, and 2 hours in the evening...

Mrs K droppin' the facts! Awesome.

Thats perfect! I am a believer that supervised free range is what keeps my flock thriving. As soon as I let them out in the early AM, they instantly eat a bunch of grass, and together walk the property line checking everything. Afterwards, we all meet behind the coop where i have made a little...

Great idea Aunt Angus. I live in a valley up against a state park. I dont always see what they get into. How might one do their own fecal floats? Thank you for that Auntie 🐓❤️

Thats not a bad idea for 5 hens. Do you think i would need a fecal sample of all of them?

When my chicken ripped her comb 75% off, i isolated her and washed it twice a day and added vetericyn plus and neosporin. I didnt use the blue kot in order to see the wound. The blue kot discolors it and because she wasnt with flock, i didnt need to camouflage the wound from anyone. Good luck...

Oh man, what does poop from a bacterial infection look like? Yes, i do really want to know! Gonna look it up now.

Hello Chicken friends, Do you deworm your chickens? Do you do it as preventative or if an issue arises? Thank you!

Comprehensible? Ha! I gotta do 20 minutes of research after hearing from _storm! And i am NoT complaining!

Whos Pat??

You sound like Ted Nugent! Lol

Yea the trick is not to buy it! Says the gal who will have a tantrum without ice cream in the freezer at ALL times. 🍦❤️

Your gonna turn into a pop tart?! Lol. I know what you mean tho. I have been making horrible nutritional choices this year. I feel like its all comfort food too. Makes me happy when skies are grey. At least garden harvests will get eaten so vitamins and minerals are cool! Whats your favorite pop...
