Post subject: | Just wanted to say hello! |
Hello Everyone, One of the two reason that I'm here now is that I have some chickens that have some Northern Fowl Mites. They are itching and scratching all the time, but I'll post details in an appropriate forum/ thread. The other is I enjoy organic gardening which came first. I thought I was a member here already, but I guess not because I couldn't find my normal username. Oh, forgot to mention that I'm in Central Texas close to Austin. Thanks, Dean |

Welcome to the site - sorry I missed you on the first pass through! I hope the mites are under control now. Do you use the droppings from your chicken coop in the garden? I've always thought the combination of a garden and raising chickens or ducks was a great combination for both the droppings and also the insect control. Do you let your chickens into the garden? |

Yes, I do intend to use the droppings. Funny you should ask about letting them in the garden. They have been free ranging, but due to there excessive scratching around have made a mess of my mulched beds. In edition they like hanging around the porch and doing their business there. So I have begun building them a yard to run in. Almost done just need to build a door now. Thanks! |
