Because they get on EVERYTHING and, therefore, poop on EVERYTHING, we scrape off all surfaces every single morning.<br /><br />Yes, preventative care can be done with most things but it takes awhile to learn to identify issues early on. Because chickens mask symptoms for fear of the others attacking them for their weakness, the signs and/or symptoms will be very very insignificant.<br /><br />That's fantastic that you have others around with experience. You will learn so much!!!<br /><br />B. - what a great idea to allow the neighbors to meet the flock!! Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />Staci@LifeAtCobbleHillFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12970355437338210130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990217242364259191.post-10700930511704202532018-04-20T08:33:47.776-04:002018-04-20T08:33:47.776-04:00When I moved to my current living situation, the n...When I moved to my current living situation, the neighbors weren’t sure about the chickens-especially my roosters. I had done my research in terms of city ordinances and have them printed in my chickens book for future reference (checking once in a while to see if they have changed) I share the info with my neighbors as well as allowing them to meet my girls and offered to sell them fresh eggs if they were interested. It’s seems to have helped ease their minds. Our only limitation on our urban farm is that we are only allowed to have a certain number of animals on our property at any given time. <br /><br />B.

We are getting closer to our own flock. <br />When you say "a basic cleaning", exactly what does that mean?<br /><br />So you can handle most medical issues with preventative care? That's the one thing I am concerned about, not being able to figure out what's wrong. Fortunately, I have several friends with chicken experience, so I could probably get help if needed. There is nothing like experience!daisy ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06129079277073067462noreply@blogger.com
