🐓 Quick summer chicken check

Published about 3 hours ago • 1 min read • Homesteading

Hey friend,

Mid-July is a good time to do a quick chicken check.

Heat, flies, dry ground, muddy corners, and busy summer days can all make it easy to miss small flock problems.

Here are three chicken-care reads to keep handy this week.

Chicken First-Aid Kit

A simple chicken first-aid kit helps you handle small injuries, sore feet, and surprise coop problems faster.

Calendula Salve

Chicken Care for Beginners

This beginner chicken care guide is a good refresher for daily checks, feeding, water, shelter, and flock basics.

Chick Days

Almost forgot. If you're looking to add a few chicken feeders, waterers, or even a new coop, Chick Days at Tractor Supply is still on until August 1.

That’s it for today.

Do one quick coop check, top up the water, and make sure your first aid supplies are easy to find.
