Yorkie_and_us replied to Yorkie_and_us's topic in Chickens, Eggs and Hatching
Hi Itβs me again π€¦ββοΈ how far from the chicken run would you hang the fly catcher? I have 3, 5-10 meters apart and those naughty flies are still in my chicken run π€¦ββοΈ Anything else I could do to get rid of them? ππ¦ -
My Cube is arriving in July and I thought I should get all the important cleaning products ready! any recommendations? Im thinking of: Barrier V1 spray disinfectant Biolink Poultry Sheild Barrier Red Mites powder any recommendation for DE and something good for the chicken run?

dustbath What sand to use for a dustbath?

Thank you so much π -
Funny that you said that π₯° Minnie and Nugget hatched at the same time. Minnie few seconds earlier π₯° Nandoβs 6 hours and 40 minutes earlier. Dipper 6 hours and 20 minutes later π₯° so Nugget was 3rd in line π₯° and yes I spent the whole night watching them hatch π£π€¦ββοΈπ€£ thatβs why I know the exact times π€£π€¦ββοΈ I think Iβm a bit obsessed with them π€¦ββοΈπ€£ Nugget is the heaviest one and then Minnie, Dipper and Nandoβs. When they were born Minnie was the smallest π₯°π€¦ββοΈ Definitely not any more π€£ Nandoβs and Minnie look like they are both Black mottled pekin Bantam. But when I bought the eggs Nandoβs supposed to be Black Pekin π€¦ββοΈ What do you think? π₯° are the same? π₯°

Thank you so much π We think Minnie is the rooster as you said but she doesnβt behave like one π€¦ββοΈ She (heπ€£) is so relax, calm and like to do things on her own π€¦ββοΈπ her wattles are already showing π€¦ββοΈ They only chick that slightly behave like a rooster is Nugget π but not always π₯° Do you think Nugget and Dipper are the same breed? And what about Minnie and Nandoβs?

Best Scaly Leg prevention spray?
Yorkie_and_us replied to Yorkie_and_us's topic in Chickens, Eggs and Hatching
Thank you so much π I didnβt know they can have the spot on treatment! Perfect ππ» I will definitely get that when they are a bit older π We are still waiting for the MK2 Cube so they need to stay at home until July π€¦ββοΈ (They are already 3 weeks old π€¦ββοΈ) -
Hi Any suggestions regarding Scaly leg sprays? Iβm thinking of Nettex or Barrier? Which one prevents better? And which one is the healthiest? Can I use it on 3 weeks old Pekin Bantam chicks? Thank you Izabella

Hi We hatched 4 beautiful chicks! They are 20 days old. We think Nandoβs is Black Pekin Bantam Minnie is Black Mottled Pekin Bantam Nugget is Lavender Pekin Bantam Dipper is Lavender Pekin Bantam Are we right? And do you think any of them are roosters? Or Do we need to wait few more weeks to find out? π Thank you so much π Izabella

dustbath What sand to use for a dustbath?
Yorkie_and_us posted a topic in Chickens, Eggs and Hatching
Hi I hope you could help me! I need sand for a dustbath for my little 3 weeks chicks. Some people suggest Playsand from Melcourt that contains silica and others suggest Horticultural Sharp Sand from the same brand! What do you think I could use? I really want the best for them as they are little babies π₯° price does not matter π Izabella
