Who saw the mystery chicken? 😜🤫
Remember, if you believe you have an active infestation in your flock, it's always best to work with a licensed veterinarian (if possible!) so that you can find out exactly what parasite you're dealing with and treat accordingly. If you desire, you can always do a synthetic dewormer and then work on prevention using natural means. Do what works best for YOUR specific situation and follow your heart! No one knows better than you what's best for your flock.
Dalia, I just saw an article on Riverside that had a list of businesses that have sold out, he stated Bragg's was bought out by " Gill Yates" 😉& now apples with "apeel" the chemical preservative we're being used by Bragg's. So not good for human or animal use. This preservative was compared to p-faas a forever chemical. Once it is in us it's there to stay. I don't & won't buy Bragg's any more.
10:42 ! 🤣
Vets out here don't 'do chickens'.
Unsure where I heard this, but was told we shouldn't use apple cider vinegar in the summer. Is that true?
Yes! Crack up~mystery chicken sightings 😉🤪
Honestly? I have noticed that I am at peace when Im with my babies. I have lots of issues health, mental, as a mother, grandmother, wife… it’s so stressful! But being with my chickens… Like I actually want to be there with them! I pick them up and hug them 🥰!
Awesome blessing!
Me too!!
❤😂me too , my family knows they are my emotional support 😊
I add turmeric powder to their food and sometimes crushed garlic for worms and parasites infections
Heading to the checkout at my Tractor Supply today, what do I see???? Front and center sat your book!!!!
Small Rural town and there you were ❤
Yay!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I heard my husband (also my personal chef) talking to himself whilst neck deep in his spice etc. cabinet, "where's that thyme and oregano....honey have you seen the...". I didnt hear the rest cuz i was sneaking out the back door with saesoned scambled eggs for my babies. 😁
😂😂😂
@katharinecox5200: seasoned scrambled eggs to share with my 3 chixies. Great idea, and hilarious mental picture of your World. Thx for idea. Tee in N.M.🐣
How in the heck do you have grass where the chickens are. Amazing!!!!!!
So many people worry about deworming their animals but don’t realize that we also full of parasites
You knows this from...??? In school we seek parasite and we have problem to find...
Thank you for all your help with chickens Dalia! It's very much appreciated. It's very expensive to send fecal samples to the vet, but there is a lab that you can send fecal samples to test your animals for internal parasites. It's not nearly as expensive as taking samples to the vet. I believe it's called Mid-America Ag Research. I've sent goat, horse, dog and chicken fecal samples there. If you send 10 or more samples, it's only like $7.00 per sample. Hope this helps!
That’s an excellent tip!!
@theresalawton: thx I will check this out. Imagine all those envelopes arriving. Actually I did one of these for myself. Lol
Rotor Rooter procedure was to gruesome to contemplate. Owww
I always use apple cider vinegar with the mother for my babies but must confess that I don’t for the grown ups. That’s gonna change! 😇
I thought the jazzy music was very sophisticatedly appropriate for our feathered babies. ❤
Very touchy subject on chicken groups 🙃 Oh, the arguments I had on diatomaceous earth, pumpkin seeds and toxic chemicals...
People go crazy and act insane about DE and pumpkin seeds! I say use what you feel is best for your flock. No judgement from me. My job is to give information. :-)
@@WelcometoChickenlandiawhy do people go insane about DE?
@@baddogcustoms7496 There's a lot of info about it online that isn't correct. It leads people to falsely believe it's going to kill their chickens.
@iwona: DME a plus or minus iyo? I use it for various things. Tee in N.M.
Are parasites visible?
We do apple cider vinegar once a week in their water!
This is a timely episode. Love the information and the music.
me too
You are amazing and wonderful. I have used. VermX it is a great product. I have gotten a few great products while in England that I was not able to get in the US. So glad VermX is available more readily in the US now. Thanks again Madame President. 💕
You’re so welcome!
Black walnut powder works too.
This is a strong herb best used for treatment not ongoing. Would you take antibiotics all the time? No
@@pinschrunner did I say all the time? Try not to read things into what’s not there.
Lol 😆 third comment. Wormwood is a great herb that usually doesn't get any attention. It is great for deworming people and most animals. 😂❤ Great video Dalia 😆
Thank you!
How do you give your chickens wormwood? I’m growing a few plants and wanted to dry them for the chickens but I’m not sure how much to give.
@@kelleyleblanc5025 My chickens eat it fresh, but if it's dried you could mix in it with their food, especially if it's Fermented food. Lol I've tried to find seeds for it this year, but no luck. Where did you find yours if I may ask?
@@kelleyleblanc5025 I would give them a few inches of stem fresh (with leaves) but dried you only need a bit. I don't know the exact measurements. I recommend trusting what feels right.
@@SequoiaRaven thanks. I don’t give my girls fermented feed however I soak a few cups of feed with some homemade kefir 2-3 times a week. I’m also growing sweet Annie for them. From my research the plants are pretty much the same however wormwood is perennial and sweet Annie is annual. At least where I live. I’m in northern Ontario.
The seeds for those I ordered from Annapolis seeds. It’s a Canadian company.
Love the visit with you, I appreciate your time work on all our flocks.
Wormwood is a great antiparasitic but it is a treatment herb, not for ongoing use. Try DE for regular use
DE doesn't do anything for parasites. It's a common myth. DE kills bugs because it's microscopically sharp. It cuts and dehydrates them to death. If DE gets wet, it doesn't work. When chickens eat it, it immediately becomes wet. Studies have shown that the silica in DE helps chickens build stronger bones though, so it's still good to add a small amount to their feed.
I use Oregano essential oil in my chickens water, two drops per gallon
Again, oregano is a natural antibiotic. Would u take low level antibiotics all the time? Nope, perhaps best left for treatment
I use oregano oil and switch to ACV from time to time 🎉
Our chicken are on Poulin Layer Pellets and they are doing awesome! Last Fall we made the change and we’re so happy.
12 hens = 7 eggs daily(average). They are 5 and 4 years old.
Thanks for the info, our feed has herbs in it!
That is awesome!
I’ve never given my chickens anything except diatomaceous earth.
Dosage how much?
@@pdnarus1 I don’t measure it. I either sprinkle it on top of their food, I feed fermented food usually. Or I’d dump a scoop full of it in a bucket, full of meal, worms, and coat the meal worms with it really well. They love that. I don’t worry about dosage at all. I usually do it two or three days in a row. Skip a week then do another two or three days. A couple times randomly through the year. I will just do one dose. If the eggs start getting a little poopy if I put diatomaceous earth in the food, it will clear up in 24 hours and there won’t be any more poopy eggs. so you could do it once a year, two or three times a year. Whatever works. also, twice a year I clean out the coop really really well and I’ll sprinkle food grade DE all over the place before I put in new bedding. It’s a good all around item to use.
@@nogames8982 thankyou
Me too!
Same
Thank you very much Dalia! 😊 I just bought your book and I'm so exited to learn about Natural medicine on chickens. ❤🎉
It’s a fantastic book. I regularly refer to it.
@@hattiedraper1061 I've started reading it and I agree!
I have all this natural remedies, I use also fire cider and tanacetum ( this is well known as a dewormer plant). Chicks hatched in the incubator have a low hymmune system and can get easier coccidiosis. If you have already coccidiosis it's really hard to save your flock, you have to give a specific remedy prescribed from your vet and to get it your coop must be registered; I was able to save just two of 9 chicks from coccidiosis thanks to my vet. So my suggestion is to start the natural prevention from the beginning and at least until they are two months old, the risk starts mostly wen you put them on grass ( this is what happened to me).
Hi, I just bought the mixed Herbs from
Scratch and peck.
I absolutely love it. The birds seem to enjoy the small bits and it sure smells good.
You can never have too many Pickles! Great info, thank you for all you do!
DE,Apple cider vinegar, pumpkins, Squash, no problem so far😊
Lovin today's music! Gonna check the products you've linked.
So good, it made me want to go and dance :)
The jokes are writing themselves here. I like to use wormwood for de-parasiting my husband periodically.
I used some on my husband and he completely vanished 🤔
I saw the mystery chicken at the 4:23 mark, but I'd have to go through a bunch of videos and pay particular attention to see if it was named to make a positive ID. Anthelmintic is pronounced like "ant hell mint ick" but just with all those words uttered one right up against the other in one fluid vocalization. 100 % friendly... yep! ---- Backyard chicken education... brilliant!!! and intertainment... Fun indeed! And rest assured WE LOVE IT!!! 😍💗
I saw your book at TSC the other day! I said, Hey- I know her! LOL!
🥰🐔🥰
TSC is on my list of errands.
Aww thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yay Pickles! Can't wait to meet your new one. 😁
Mine bypassed the Oregano garden and went straight to my blueberry bushes (1st yr producing). Broke and/or dug up all plants surrounding, to get to blueberries. I no longer have any blueberries. 🙃 Will be more prepared next yr! 😎
I love your channel so much. Your awesome. Much respect and thank you so much for all of the great info.
I bought galvanized waterer. Label said not to put vinegar in galvan. waterers, may switch to plastic one . Mistakes will be made,as I navigate Chic herding.
I have been using Verm-X for years. It is very good.
Thank you so much 💓
thank you so much....
Great and lovely chicken and duck breeds❤.
I love pickles ❤😊
Can you grow the oregano and thyme around the chicken coup so they could have access to it
We love, love, love, your videos. My kids actually ask for "chicken-linda" instead of Bluey!! Wow, that's high praise. I just wanted to ask how often you put apple cider vinegar in the water. Is it every time, or just periodically? Does the taste ever bother your chickens? Thanks for all your amazing info. and wonderful attitude.
I can't speak for Dalia, but if I had ACV water next to water without it the ducks will choose the ACV and the chickens will go for the water without it. If I put it in all their waterers then they have no choice lol so they drink it. Very cute story 😍
we used to deworm dogs with Days Work chewing tobacco...
I get Durvet Strike 2 natural dewormer pellets (they have wormwood in them), but they're spendy.
I was waiting to see your new teenager chicken. Anyway, love your videos.
Next video!!!
Can you still eat the egg if they're on verm x ?
How do we prevent them living in mud (and their waste) during spring rainy season?
I hear ya! I live in the Pacific Northwest ☔️☔️☔️😅.
❤Deborahtorp, I've always used wood chips out in the chicken yard. Not fine ones. Like chips from a wood chipper. The fine ones break down too fast. Use a really thick layer, about 6-10 inches to start. As the years go by, the constant rototilling by your chickens will stir into the chips all the poop and you won't have flies or smell. After a year, rake back a spot and dig with a shovel. It should be compost and soft as potting soil! Use it everywhere! It takes a few years for the soil, wood chips and poop to blend and compost, but it WILL and it's wonderful! As the chips get shallower and shallower, add another 3-4 inches of chips and or all your fall LEAVES! The girls LOVE LEAVES! Just keep topping off the materials and your girls will till it in for you. That will keep them out of the mud and make the best potting soil you've ever seen! All the time I have people ask me for buckets of chicken dirt. I tell them bring a bucket(s) and I hand them a rake and shovel. It's composting w/o all the work. 😂
Do you buy the wood chips or do your own chips? Is there a certain wood type?
@@nancyunderwood6776 hey Nancy! I've used our tree wood, chipped by my husband or a couple times by the power company. One time the power company was across the street and I asked them to dump on our property. We have an acre and one side is open with no obstacles like fences, power lines, gardens, so they could get in and turn around easily. They took me up on that and dumped about 10-12 yards! It was all elm and willow. Only once when we first moved here did I pay and had 18 yards delivered. That was 17 years ago! On our property we have willow and elm also. The willow breaks down pretty fast but the elm really lasts. We have lots of leaves and we use about 12 inches in the 15x30 ft yard. Whenever we trim trees we chip them for the chicken yard.
Mulch
I use papaya and pumpkin.
Your roo looks like my BLUE!!!
Does red pepper flaked work?
Very cute little chicken,, pickles 🥒 lol
Food grade DE deworm naturally as well I'm sure you can add some to their food
How do you manage to still keep grass growing in your run? My girls destroy it. Is there anything you do specifically? Thanks 😊
Is it safe to eat the eggs if they have worms...??? Should they be thrown out or ???
Nooice! 😎 STOC
I would also like to mention red onion you chop it up real small and sprinkle in their feed.
Wormwood liquid is good for human parasites too. Always consult professional before use concerning dosage.
What about diatomaceous earth for deworming? Or First Saturday Lime?
Ive used DE for deworming but never first saturday lime. i do use it in their dirt baths and roosting areas.
Great video, thank you. I see if I use Verm-X I can still eat the eggs. If I use the Molly's Herbals formulas on my chickens, can I still eat the eggs?
Yes! 😃
How do you keep grass inside run?
Haha I just did a video about that! ua-cam.com/video/_wIeHoFmhag/v-deo.html
I just noticed today that my momma hen has a build up around her face looks like white clumps of snowballs and am needing a little knowledge here she just had chicks and had to take them out cus she was pecking her babies and killed a few by accident the rest are great doing good but should i wash her head gently with Dawn ?😊
I have some hens that have dirty butts, what could cause this? I have washed them, trimmed poopy feathers, some clean themselves. I do give acv in their water. What else can I do?
I would check them really well for mites. Sometimes they are hard to see but you can see the eggs collected on the feather shaft.
Have you considered a chicken bidet?
😁✌️🍩
Wet droppings means??
I saw her sneaking behind you. 🐔
🥰 She’s a funny little thing!
I've been using vermex, garlic and apple cider vinegar.
Suggestions on treating gape worms if chickens have them. Seems this isn't really talked about.
I'm not the author and just tossing my two cents in. I love using natural methods to care for my chickens. However, when it comes to gapeworm, it's usually at crisis level before it's noticed. My vet's office recommends Valbazen. Wild birds visiting and soiling waterers, earth worms, and slugs can carry them. With the best efforts, sometimes these things can happen.
QUESTION: Not exactly related, but is it safe to feed your chickens sourdough discard? I’ve seen a lot of things saying it’s good for them since there is beneficial bacteria and enzymes but I was curious your thoughts.
Will garlic keep mites off them?
Great info for people, Cool chickens and a gorgeous woman.
Can I mix garlic powder into their feed instead of giving them fresh garlic? Thanks 😊
Can’t you use dried hot peppers mixed in with their food?
My hens always chest bump with the ruffle feathers. I never see them pecking at eachother in a mean way or anything. Is this bullying or just normal pecking order stuff?
It’s normal! I wouldn’t worry unless they were drawing blood and keeping each other from food and water.
Question 👋🏽
I helped my adult chicken recover from coccidiosis at Christmas (it took 2 full months to get her back to her sisters) but she's never quite been the same since. She won't/cant eat treats from the ground, won't fly only walk up to her perch, she's not a fan of her usual feed of layer pellets. She prefers mash. She seems like she's reverted to being a chick. She's otherwise healthy. Any ideas ANYONE? Thanks❤
Did you treat her with antibiotics? If so, she may need some probiotics to get her gut health back to normal.
@@tabp8448 not antibiotics, we treated her with Amprolium which blocks the parasites ability to uptake and multiply. Once she finished that treatment we gave probiotics to get her gut health back on track. She was really poorly. I think many would have put her down but she's my 10 year olds pet and is very loved so we knew we had to at least try. because she was handled so much by me as I brought her back to health it seems as if she's reverted back to acting like a chick. I also think she may have lost some vision in one eye
Old school, pumpkin and buttermilk don’t care birds anything but natural ingredients
One of my chickens is acting Strang she eat and drink perfectly fine yesterday I checked her vent because she had a little poop on her feathers and saw what looks like fly larva so I sprayed some homemade chicken bug spray and I checked today and I don't see any of those bugs that looks like fly larva. She is also acting weak just curious to what that could be and how to prevent it.
Sounds like fly strike. One of my chickens had it.
I agree. It sounds like fly strike. Dalia has a video on fly strike. It is very serious. I would do some fast research so you can help your chicken.
That does sound like Flystrike. It must be treated very quickly: ua-cam.com/video/cQVmVZ5Rtj0/v-deo.htmlsi=_qtiJxPd2k3k9voc
Hi Dalia! I'm a big fan and have been watching your channel for a long time. I take pride in my chickens and I love them so much. But after work this evening, my little broody bantam has abandoned her eggs and looked really poorly. I checked her over and she was covered in lice! Her tail had clusters of eggs. She's really pale and can hardly stand! Yesterday she looked totally fine. Im horrified. They have a dust bath but she clearly hasn't been using it. I fed her a raw egg with some vitamins in it, cut off the louse egg feathers, covered her in natural louse powder and applied ivermectin. Some of the others have them too. What do i do to totally get rid of them? I can't believe it, they look so healthy but they're suddenly infested! 😓
Thank You Dalia, this is really good information , I would like to share with You a great and simple method to raise earthworms, Tons of them, and solid & liquid fertilizer for the plants, please let me know if youre interested and I will be most willing to share this important source of protein. Best regards.
Any egg withdrawl with these? I just ordered Molly’s.
No 😃
Can you use the Apple Cider Vinegar and garlic in the same waterer? Also, can I use jarred chopped garlic or just use fresh?
Following
Parasites are normal in all living beings including humans. Its a misbalance that is an issue.
I mix diatomaceous earth food grade with their morning salad every day. My hens are very healthy and beautiful, their feathers are very shiny.
@@demeterestela2618 My chickens like to eat some of the ashes I give them and now I know why!! It's also good for gut health.
Not all parasites are good ones tho
I prefer to have NO parasites. These things aren't helpful but are in us bc of our lack of clean foods, etc.
@SequoiaRaven, my girls do too. We have an old fire pit where we put our wood stove ashes, and they love to dust bath and scratch around in there 😅. I see them eat some charcoal sometimes too.
i bought 2 banthams hens and 1 koekoe smal rosster and they wana fight so whats must i do i seperated them for now please give me some advice chicken farmer
What are the ingredients in the Vermx , at the website they only say all natural ingredients, but doesn’t give a list of what’s in it. makes me suspicious.
Do your own research
For my chicks ACV and Vitamin C
Just fresh garlic or is g. powder ok?
Fresh is best but if all you can do is the powder that’s good as well!
Do you debeak your chickens
What is a quuart of water"???"
1 quart ( common American and Canadian measurement). Equivalent to 0.945 litres or 32 ounces, or 4 cups.
Hello, with the garlic clove in the water do I need to dice it? Or do I just put the 1/4 clove whole in the water? I have nine chickens and they go through a gallon of water every day so would I just be able to leave the garlic in there
Thanks
Same question...
Someone said ACV should be avoided in warmer temps - is this a thing?
If it's really hot I would stop the ACV and switch to electolytes during that time. It's not like it's super dangerous for them but it's thought to affect their calcium absorption.
@WelcometoChickenlandia great to know - thank you!!!
@WelcometoChickenlandia hmm that may answer a mystery I've had as my shells have been very thin and I was doing a tablespoon acv in their water. I thought maybe it was the sprouted sunflower seeds. So interesting. Thank you for sharing all you know!
So many people are talking about using Red pepper flakes in their food and pumpkin???? What do you think???
Pumpkin seeds is natural remedy
Is there any more info on broody chess?
I have one who has been sitting in the egg box for over three weeks, almost four.
I only have four hens and one is not allowing the others to lay in the egg box.
I have to take her out to get her to do anything.
When I had a broody gir 13:09 l I just kept tossing her out of the laying box all the time. Seems she got over that in a few days. Persistence.
@@janetspiritofthelivinggod6328 I am taking her out several times a day so she will eat and drink a little. I also close the door when it’s free- range time. It’s been frustrating because she gets agitated and runs back in.
But, last evening, she actually stayed outside and ran around and scratched for awhile before running back in. That was huge!
Usually, she sits on the ground and does nothing, like she’s in a trance!
She’s been top hen and I saw her trying to assert herself again, too.
Hopeful, she won’t starve herself!
Is pickles a Sarema?
Yes!
@@WelcometoChickenlandia Ha ha.....I watch Witt Acres Farm & Cody the Channel owner has a collection of Chickens. 1 is a Sarema and has a main role in his latest Vids. "Lil Roe" as he calls her, went Broody and kept grabbing all abandoned? Eggs, unless she "stole" them. Idk lol.
Me, being a new chicken "herder" for this past year of raising my 3 peeps kept my brain crammed with new info from you and a couple other chicken channels, as I came across them. Lil Roe is a feisty gal, who reminded me of a Piece of Pizza, on legs with a huge attitude, fiercely defending this nest of hers with way too many eggs. ( Cody sneaks some away)
as she hasn't hatched any into Chix, yet. I noted Sarema breed, if I was going to try and add new Hens. So far so good with my 3, even tho I sometimes wonder if I am too close to being over my head, already.
Your "set up" is sooo,nice. And your info really helped me in my early days of Hens. Thank you for that. My 68 y.o. brain enjoys the learning experience. I raised 3 kids who are grown now. My Hens were 52ish weeks March '24. Nobody has croaked from my cobbled together set up. So I take it day by day, week by week. My "empty nest" is in complete disarray as I focus on my Chixie girls. I don't even care,tho. Did not expect to be this far,but, I'm loving it so much! See you in your comment section. Tee🐣
Tics...oh no... I never thought of that.
Diamtious earth easy and sprinkle over food
You don't mention red chili flakes for keeping internal parasites at bay?
good chicken flock management # but excessive apple vinegar causes low PH in chicken proventriculus, gizzard & dudenum & may lead to intestinal acidity # ❤️🇵🇰
Garlic… can it even be dried n put into their food?
I have a 10 week old chick with scissor beak, I'm afraid he is starving. I have given him soaked chick feed in a deep container and he tries to eat and it gets all over his face. I don't know how much he is actually getting to eat. I give him watermelon and blueberry's blended in a blender and he also does the same. I am trying to teach him to use nipple waterer so he may be able to drink easier. Is it cruel for me to try to keep him alive? I need your advice. Thanks in advance.
If you've got the love and the time to help him figure out how to eat with his physical challenges then I say go for it! Maybe someone else on UA-cam has some how-to ideas too.
People commonly talk about 'boosting immune systems'. That would mean that you measure it? How?
How do I get my younger hicks to go into the coop at night with the older flock? They stay outside the coop at night. And soon they will be laying!
👍
Kichen scraps? 3 Hens i can't find the time to cook....😂
😂❤️
