I have this poultry license issue also. I dipped/scrubbed all my 23 hens today and bombed the coop after cleaning. Most of my birds are fine but 2 hens are really lethargic and looking bad. I brought them in, rinsed them again, and put them on a heating pad for the night...it was 10%...

Thank you.

I had a crossed beak, gave her special attention to be sure she was fed but she was found dead in the coop at about 2.5 mo.

3 yr old buff orpington roo was attacked last summer by a fox but recovered. Now he is noticed to be very lethargic, laying around, and with patches of feather loss. I brought him in to see what's happening and found tiny yellowish larve(head of a pin size) and all remaining feathers have lint...

Thanks..I just really can't even know what it was on her head..odd.

We have 35 chickens and 6 are roosters. Heard sound from the coop after dark and went to check. All look fine but 1 leghorn with bloody? Head. Took her in and cleaned her off But I can't really see a source of the problem. Any ideas. Everyone else seems fine. Everything was cleaned and...

Its a great idea but i guess the cost would determine if i would be a user.

3 are from feb hatch, were starting to lay and stopped, 1 americsuna from march hatch started to lay, her buddy was killed 7 weeks ago and she stopped. None of the others doing anything. There are hens from march and from june.

Nasty stool below. Something is definately wrong. Camera didnt show it but it looked like possibly tiny worms in the red. Im at a loss.

I had 1 hen that sounded raspy, she is an americuna that was laying but stopped after the attack. I gave her tylan for 3 days and had her isolated for a week. she seems fine now but missing her buddy that was killed. I just think that after 6 weeks things should be settled down.

They are varying ages: oldest born in feb, some from march, some june. I have 6 that may be still a little young but most are definately old enough. I'm concerned about coccidosis, and I thought corid was the treatment. I'm a bit beside myself why they aren't laying. the 2 roosters don't get...

I have kept them in coop and run for 3 and 4 days with no change in egg production. I agree, I thought they were hiding them but I cant find them and it's a pretty strait forward set up.

Mixed breeds, 2 cokoo marans, 3silver wing and 1gold wing wyandotes, 1buff orpington, 2 white leghorn, 2 asa brown, 5 americauna, 1welsommer. Feeding purina, or dumore, flock block, scratch and scraps and several hours freeranging every day. I did loose 4 hens, 3 orps and an asa brown and 1...
