Finding a bald, ragged hen in your coop can make you panic and assume a predator or disease has struck.
The trouble is, reaching for the wrong treatment can make the problem worse and stress your birds out for no reason.
In this video, I am breaking down the exact patterns of feather loss so you can read your birds correctly.
I will show you how to handle everything from mating wear to mites using 5 traditional remedies, including a simple handmade canvas apron, Stockholm tar, and a protective wood ash dust bath.
If you want to keep your flock healthy and laying without spending a fortune on specialty supplements, these old country methods are exactly what you need.
