After much research I decided to dust my chickens with Sevin for the following reasons: Those who are against it, don't use it and most never did because of the harmful effects that it can have on beneficial species like bees and there are tree hugger alternatives like insecticidal soaps and...

This article inspired me to make some fermented chicken feed. So simple. Love it. Thank you.

Comprehensive yet straight forward and easy to understand. I've seen other lists of treats around and this one gives the best information. Thank you.

With layers the concern is getting enough protein and calcium. Corn is not known for having high values in either and is thought of as more of a treat than anything else. There's a false narrative that if your layers get too much of anything that's not packed full of protein and calcium you're...

Yes, they're the same. No matter what the particular hatcher calls them, Golden Comet, Cinnamon Queen, Golden Buff, and Red Star are all red sex links. They're the result of cross breading any red and silver color gene chickens. Usually Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire Red male over White...
