    Crib sides into chick condo.....

    Well I have something in the back they could jump up on to get to the first upper level. Older hens I had isolated in there could get up and down so I guess the chicks could when strong/old enough. Your comment is ironic as the drying rack repurpose is the reason I saved them from the donations...

    Another Urinary Tract Infection Cure

    And follow this with regularly drinking the cranberry juice and black cherry juice doesn't hurt either. After having a suspension due to pelvic floor prolapse I do the ACV and juice routine at least once a month.

    Does anyone here have or know about MS

    Once the damage is done it can not be "reversed" but can be but the symptoms can be. It is like the Herpes Virus... in the system but not flared status. Thus we "think" it is cured. And if you are lucky enough to catch it early you may "reverse the EFFECTS" and limitations it puts on your...

    how in the world did i end up with blues and blacks????

    Wow. That is one I'd have to print out and read and re-read to see how much I could retain. After a stroke and only a few years from 60 it is a daunting task for me.

    Crib sides into chick condo.....

    This photo might show better. You can see the latest two additions who I will be culling/rehoming on the lower roost that goes right through and the rooster on the ones that go over it. If the pieces I leaned to keep them off don't stay the screens on top will keep poop from falling into chick...

    Crib sides into chick condo.....

    To make a chick brooder/grow up area: I used the screened front half of an old cheap coop and put it in the corner of my coop. I used the sides of old wooden cribs for the upper part to make a second level set over the roosts that run across the whole width of the coop. Screens from my old...

    Apple Cider Vinegar in the treatment and prevention of COCCIDIOSIS.

    Interesting (the part I could understand). I bookmarked it for reading again later. Hmmmm may have to re-evaluate how I did what I did. It took a year from my fresh pressed apple cider.

    Our chicken tractor...

    Stephanie if you private message me and you are not too far I have a few chickens I need to weed out of my flock that are not Heritage RIR.
