And in grain to keep out weevils.  The scientists wish it dewormed, it would save us many chemicals.

I'm no expert, but I've read that Food-grade (white not off-white powder) Diatomaceous Earth (DE for short) added to their food is a good protocol. I believe I read somewhere that a couple of teaspoons mixed in with a coffee can of their food every 3 to 4 months is a good practice. But I await the wisdom of other, more knowledgeable members to learn more about this issue myself.

Re: [CHICKENS-101] Re: Roost

 

Cassie, Good idea.  Hens and pullets full of eggs jumping around is not always a good idea.

Thanks, that's a perfect compromise (between me and my husband!). But of course as soon as I posted the question I went out and they were all on their roost. Guess I'm too much of a mother hen but I'm still going to find a nice stump for them to use.

[CHICKENS-101] Re: Unusual Livestock Guardians - peacocks

 

We have peacocks free range here at the ranch and they like to jump up on the roof, run across it and then launch themselves into the trees to roost every evening.  We call them the Roof Cows as they sound like a herd of cows up there.  LOL  And we are very careful where we walk in the mornings as I swear they love to dive bomb people with chihuahua sized droppings if they walk under their roosting spot.

HI Janet, I absolutely love peacocks. They are sooo beautiful, once when we used to live in a little village, their was a pair that used to meander into our garden in the eve & if it was a hot night & we had the living room windows open, they would anounce their arrival right under the windows & often make us jump out of our skins, lol. Then we would go & give them their bread, We loved them:) Jane & co

Re: [CHICKENS-101] Re: Unusual Livestock Guardians

 

Jane, I raised peacocks for many many years.  I had whites, blues, and black shouldered.  A student's father did a job for the whites, Mikie and Sissie, and left them in my large range pen for my birthday.  Our school paid for one day a week one on one teaching, I did the other two days a week free out of concern.  A year later, on my birthday I came home to white peas. 
After a speeding teen trashed my back, knees, and feet, my horses, goats, sebastopols, rouens, muscovies, peacocks, ET...and several breeds of chickens all had to be rehomed.

[CHICKENS-101] Re: chickens won't go into coop

 


If I were you I would only feed them normal pellets during the day, then at night for a few days brilliant treats - mixture of corn & oats & cooked rice or cooked pasta, anything they really will go for BUT only give that to them an hour before bed, feed it to them as near to the coop you want them to be in at night. Once they get used to going to bed where you want them to you can do treats every other day then avery three days. Although it is nice to give them treats every day they will love you more for it. lol. Thats what I would try , we have always been lucky so far & our chooks have always gone to the right place. Good luck. Jane & co

I have moved them twice to our coop.. even moved the coop to our front pasture about  1/2 a football field away in front of our house. this time I left them in the coop for 4 days. They seem to waddle right back to the same location.. Can anyone offer me any advice please

Sara,

> still treat for cocci "in case".

you may want to consider treating all the chickens that were together with
her, chances are if one has it, some of the others have it too.
let us know how she is coming along, that's good news that she is better,

Okay, thanks all, particularly those offering information without
scoldings about something you think I am or am not doing. She has been
wormed. I've ordered the cocci stuff. I will continue with the B
vitamins. Yes, I did read the garlic article. And other articles on
the subject. Thank you all for your input. I will say, she continues
to feel and act stronger, has been all week since I further upped the b
vitamins - yes, I was giving those to her from the first sign of
illness, but further upped the level of those after input. .I will
still treat for cocci "in case". Sara
