You are a wealth of information! ♥️ My question is for use in a sand floor coop… I have a poop hammock but some droppings escape… the chickens love to dig, sand bath and eat the grit in the sand. Is there any concern with adding this to the sand / sprinkling the Sweet PDZ around the coop sand...

So the beauty of eating this way is how satiated I am- I literally (for the first time in 20 yrs of sickness/doctors/medicines) don’t care about going back to eating any of the carbs or whatever. If I am hungry- I eat- and a steak & eggs or shimp sounds fantastic to me! If it doesn’t sound...

Your encouragement is so appreciated., my chickens and I are forever in your debt. 🥰

I lost 80 lbs switching to a plant-free high fat/medium protein/zero carb diet. Also reversed a myriad of 20+ years of debilitating illnesses including Hypertension, pre-diabetes, IBS, hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, psoriasis, depression, plantar’s fasciitis, sun-intolerance and more! #carnivore...

My head is spinning. I read through 14 pages of this thread… Situation: Lost 13 of my flock over the past 3 months. PCR results confirmed ALV & Marek’s today… I don’t want to cull. FYI, The vaccinated chicks were 90% of the deaths. I now have 22 (5 roos + 17 hens) and all are in...

How do you get a chicken to swallow a tablet- into her beak?? Would I break it up first?

Has Flora made a full recovery? I found this thread because I am on day 3 off dealing with this issue with my one of my 3 month old Lavender Orpingtons.. same symptoms. 🥰

The two free-ranger roos grew up with the big ole Lavender Americana, but were too “rambunctious” for the 7 remaining hens. We have since added a few dozen pullets (one turned out to be a little roo 🙄). We want to put them all together now that the hens are all getting mature. They dance along...

I have 2 free ranging roosters I need to integrate with an older/gentler bigger Americana roo also. Hoping now that they arent so young and full of “vim & vigor” it will be easier. I have more hens now too so 4 roosters might have less tention. 😬 I could use advice too.

Okay- found the answer 😅 https://the-chicken-chick.com/whats-scoop-on-chicken-poop-digestive/

Forgive my ignorance.. what is cecal poop?

I got a reversable access HenGear one I am getting ready to install… I’ll let you know how they like it.

Does the chick food/chick waterer need to be protected from the rest of the flock? My adult birds seem to devour it otherwise.. I have my brooder still occupied with 4 week old chicks and their surrogate Serama-mama… then the biological silky mother became broody right after & I moved her to...

So happy to hear she got better! My chicken is listless and droopy- like yours. Did she recover fully and have you had any other flock issues?

I have chickens exposed to marek’s disease- have lost 3 so far 😰 one more showing symptoms… I know it is a cancerous “chicken type herpes” so would lemon balm/Melissa oil help? Melissa oil cured my cold sores wondering if it would help the chickens. Also, turmeric + pepper is supposedly good for...
