    Question about redosing ivermectin for mites.

    I do, 1 week apart each dose. I spray down the coop each time I redose and remove any bedding inside coop and add new bedding. Sorry for slow response I dont log on very often

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I was off to check on the chickens a little while ago when I noticed a vibrant red flower in bloom! I said to myself, "What weed could that be?!" ...Well my mint plants were both in bloom covered with bees, butterflies, and a dragonfly. Here is a pic of the flower which caught my eye!

    All my chicks died in 20 minutes!

    I didnt read through the pages but if they were around Teflon skillet being used this could be the culprit. The temp as mentioned was too low but if they were fine prior to death then I doubt the 78 degree temp instantly killed them

    Is this a good winter watering plan?

    Just make sure they have a good dry area to dust bathe! The mites are horrible in these parts due to humidity! And if they have a run thats gunna hold water/ have mud when it rains make sure you routinely treat with corid to prevent coccidiosis 👍 those are the biggest tips i wish i didnt have to...

    Is $150 a hen fair for show Brahmas?

    Ive seen a fair amount of large fowl show birds go for $50-75 each. Usually the males and females were all priced the same. Ive seen some go for up to $100 each. Im personally am not a fan of brahmas so I wouldnt spend that much but show quality ameraucanas go for $50-75. Ive seen larger birds...

    Panicky in Tennessee - SNOW n LOTS of it...

    I havent had silkies in a couple years, they do seem to get wet easier than regular feathered birds but again I personally wouldnt worry too much. As long as they stay under the tarped portion they'll be fine in my opinion. Do they have to go through the part with no tarp to get back in the coop?

    Finally had to kill roosters. Snapping neck causes suffering?

    When Ive tried the wringing the neck method it can be hard sometimes especially with thick muscled necked roosters. I knew this made them suffer even for a short time if it wasnt dome properly the first time. I changed my method to using a good pair of tree loppers. They are a clean cut...

    Yellow foamy poop - help please!

    I dont want to misguide you incase your chickens do have some underlying health issues that are in their infancy.. but when these poops first ever appeared in my flock is when I tried Producers Pride mini pellets from TSC. The poops were stinky and foamy, and they started as soon as I began...

Ive noticed poops like this when I use feeds high in corn. When Ive used Purina I dont recall many of these poops. The 3 pictures...

    Rooster behavior

    If they aren't fighting then I wouldnt worry about seperating them, and as long as your coop is draft free I wouldnt worry about him not huddling with the others. At 16 weeks he should be nice and filled out with feathers and some meat on his bones 👍
