Thank you for responding to the video! 😊 This was 4 years ago, and I have some different breeds now.

Thanks for watching! We plant in the hot months. In our zone, that is usually mid-May. We harvest in the Fall before a hard frost. We check the potatoes occasionally to see how big they are getting.

To dust her belly and vent. They are not there very long, and they don’t mind!

@@papa.and.mimis.country.life.58 to me i love my chickens an my grandma won't let me get by them no more because she is getting all bald on her belly and I'm scared i have lost 5 chickens already and we don't have money to take th to the vet 😔

@@papa.and.mimis.country.life.58 what do u think i should do I'm a kid and i want to help her

Veronica, It never was in a place we could safely put it down. We legally could have. A neighbor had the correct weapon and took care of it. 😢 It was pathetic! NO hair! Very sick. Poor creature!

Tuolumne, California

@@papa.and.mimis.country.life.58 so beautiful 😊😊😊😄😄

The dust we use is not toxic for skin. You don’t want to breathe it much, however!

Suzanne Reed , we got about 135 lbs.

Wow! What soil mix did you have in there?

@@SuperFathers we had garden soil mixed with our own compost. We have chickens, so there was aged manure in the mix. We put bone meal in also.

Walnuts, grains, tuna

Jacquie Hayes, he is a ‘mutt’, but so pretty and so SWEET!

50 Shades of Shade the powder does not affect the taste at all.

Vue Lee, there are mites , lice and fleas everywhere, but will only become an infestation if you keep your chickens clean and treated.

Nola Williams , thank you for watching, and for the kind comment.

You are very welcome. Blessings.

This is another good method, if you need to have the chicken more supported while you dust. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqnTYpaMorako68

Jacquie Hayes Hi Jacquie! I try to not create a lot of airborne dust around the face. Notice that I put it on my hand and wipe it, not dust it near the face! We have had no problems after applying the dust.

Thank you So much! I feel like a new mom and I freak out about Everything! lol....I just don't want my girls hurt cause of me. And I did watch how you did that, and I plan on using that technique :) Thank you again!

Jacquie Hayes , I have found a lot of support in the community of chicken-keepers. I have a group on FaceBook called "A Chicken Life" you are welcome to join, and I am a member of a larger group called "Scott's Backyard Chickens". It really helps to get help from others!
