I haven't found an answer anywhere. Sorry if this is the wrong forum. Is there any medication that can be added to water to kill mites sold in the US? Everything I found is not shipped to the US. I've tried every other thing, dust, drops, etc. I need something effective. I'm disabled and cannot...

I had a young hen around 9 months old, I bought her as a chick from L&M supply, her symptoms were anemia, weight loss, and panting or labored breathing, ruffled feathers. All the articles I've read talk about eye bubbles and mucus. She didn't have that. She would drink water but couldn't get her...

I tried search but couldn't an answer. None of my hens have laid an egg for months. I'm clueless as to why. During the winter we turn the lights on in thee morning for them. I live in the u.p. of MI and our winters are pretty dreary, not much sunshine. In spring when the sun is nice and bright...

I seem to have a mystery illness affecting my flock. I am looking for ideas on how to disinfect the dirt in my run. I have heard of Stalosan F, but it's expensive and even more expensive to ship. Are there any alternatives? Would barn lime work?

I noticed this morning my 9 month old hen can't walk straight. she's using her wings to balance. She was ok yesterday. She is thin. I usually get three eggs a day (three hens in pen) but lately there are only two. my husband saw a soft egg on the floor a week or so ago. her vent looks normal...

It’s day 16 and I realized I put the egg plate in upside down. The eggs are moving sideways but not going around apparently. They are chocolate and olive eggs and I can’t see inside any of them. Is there a chance any will hatch now? Will changing the plate make a difference this late? I’m just sick

I have read all the posts I can but have not found an answer. I have a flock of 20. Mixed; olive egger, rainbow Dixie? Salmons silkies. About August some started to molt. They all quit laying. Every one of them! Two of my silkies are in another coop so it’s not the coop. Their food wasn’t...

I had my husband pick calcium awhile back at the feed store. He put it in the marked bin so I never saw the bag. I thought it odd it was gray light grit but just shrugged it off. Since then my hens have went into molt, for 2 months now and I'm getting an egg every other day out of 15 hens. It...

I have a silkie roo that is dying. I have done everything I can for him. My husband will be doing the "deed" soon.:( I want to send in some blood samples for testing but not sure what to test for. I have been researching and quite frankly am getting a migraine trying to figure it out. So here...

Does anyone have any idea what is causing my hen to look like this? I checked for mites and lice. I couldn't find anything. She doesn't act sick at all. I've trimmed the roo's spurs and toenails.

I have a 2 year old rooster who I noticed was squatting a little. So I kept an eye on him for awhile. Then he went to sitting on his haunches. I brought him inside and started him on vitamin b complex, selenium and vitamin E. He has progressed to having splayed legs. They aren’t out to the back...

She is a splash maran was growing like the rest of the 7. Then she stopped growing and became unkempt looking lethargic. She shakes all the time even though she’s under a lamp. I thought well maybe cocci, so I gave them all corid for 5 days. No change. Now the big ones are chasing her so I have...

I searched the forums but couldn't the answer I was looking for. My husband's friend brought over some alfalfa rabbit pellets and some loose alfalfa in a bag that his rabbits wouldn't eat. He thought maybe may chickens would eat it. I figure the pellets would be alright to peck at but wasn't...
