    Love your videos! So informative.. We are going to be first time Chicken owners and are trying to gain as much knowledge about these lovely girls as possible! We are going to the Breeder tomorrow and this information you provided will really help us with what to look for when we are picking out our girls :D We have taken great care in preparing their new home, buying the best Organic Non-Gmo feed and Treats etc.. and your video on Nutrition and Supplements was GREAT! Thank you for all the great information... Look forward to seeing more videos! Wish your store wasn't in the UK! :D God bless

      Have a look at our other videos - there are some on lice and mites. Your chicken-savvy vet will be able to prescribe a spot-on and other products to tackle the problem before they get ill.

    I adopted some hens that don't look healthy, but not sure how to help them. I can't afford a vet or anything.
