Backyard chickens have started to become quite popular in many homes.<\/h3>\n

Do you have backyard chickens? Sometimes they can get pretty smelly and if you are like most, living close to your neighbors, you may want to keep chicken odor at bay.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clear The Air is safe to use around your chickens and it won’t hurt them even if they eat it. We suggest sprinkling Clear The Air<\/a> in their nesting box under the shavings you use as well as any area of their coop that you smell strong odors.<\/p>\n

The following are some great tips for backyard chicken owners:<\/p>\n

Chicken Housing: <\/strong>The first thing you want to do is to make sure that you have enough space for your chicken coop. If you don\u2019t, this may be the time to re-arrange your yard to give you the space needed. A coop must have at least two square feet for every chicken you will have in it.<\/p>\n

Chicken Care: <\/strong>Make sure that you are always available to lock the chickens back into their chicken houses at night and let them out again in the morning hours. Fresh clean water is also needed on a daily basis along with proper feedings. It is important to make sure that the chickens are getting a well balanced diet of whole grains. On top of what you give the chickens they will eat a wide variety of bugs and worms to complete their diet.<\/p>\n

Chicken Eggs: <\/strong>Fertile eggs will require a lot of your attention so make sure that you are doing everything you can to make sure that they have the best shot possible. You have to make sure that you are also turning those eggs daily. The best way to keep track is to mark one end of the egg with an X and the other end with an O.<\/p>\n

Letting Your Chickens Have Free Range Of Your Yard: <\/strong>Many people love the idea of simply having free range chickens<\/strong> <\/em>instead of keeping their chickens locked up in chicken houses. While this is probably the best way for the chickens to live and they certainly enjoy it, you must know that your land situation may not be the best for it. If you live close to a road that is full of traffic then free range chickens are not the way to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
