Yes still have the problem. Have found no lice or mites on them at all. I found the Feather Fixer food today so going to get that and start feeding them that. Good idea about hanging food. They have more than enough room on their roosts but I do notice they seem to all want to sit in a...
I know the feeling. I feel like I am a horrible mom too. I ordered last night some lotion called Pick No More so gonna try it and I am trying to find someone that carries the food Feather Fixer around here. In the mean time I will give them foods with more protein in them starting today.
Thanks
Back in May I posted pics of my girls behinds and back where they were missing all of their feathers. Well they are still missing them. And I really don't know what else to do. I have no where to keep them separated from the ones that aren't missing any. Which is less than half of them. I...
Thanks I will get that for them. They are not over crowded. there coop and covered yard is huge. And when not raining I let them out in the big yard to graze in grass every day. I sit with them because of hawks. They get good layer feed and many treats including yogurt. There light in coop...
I am totally clueless. I thought this was mites or lice. I have treated them , hosed and scrubbed their coop from top to bottom. I have tried DE, 7 dust, and medicine. Nothing is working. I figured it was mites cuz we had soooo much rain for the last 4 or 5 mths. But I have not found any on...
I am having the exact same problem right now with Freckles. I can't feel an egg at all and I am so afraid I pushing to hard cuz if it is in there I don't want to break it. I have soaked her in hot water too. Right now I have her in the bathroom where I can watch her better. But she is...
I too have 3 that are brooding. And I don't have a rooster. One of the girls has been brooding for over a month now and starting to look really bad the other two have been doing this for about 2 weeks. So I finally got some eggs from guy down the street that are fertilized put them under...
I have a girl for the last 6 weeks I can't get her out of the nesting box. She is not laying eggs. Sometimes she has a egg under her but I know it's not hers cuz it is one of the Easter eggers. I take her out of box constantly but goes right back in. She is losing weight cuz not eating...
I just got 2 extra eggs from my Easter Eggers. Its easy to figure out what breed chicken is laying since of the 23 girls I have 4 Easter Eggers. This has never happened . (They have only been laying since November) And all 6 eggs are the same size and hard shell.
I use shavings for the girls inside of house for bedding and on the floor. But my question is can I put pine straw outside in their yard because of the rain we have had the yard is so muddy and starting to stink.
getting ready to take them some left over salad and sweet potatoes from last night and some pumpkin cookies that are too old for hubby to eat. Cut a pumpkin in half yesterday and put it out there for them to eat, They went bonkers for it.
3 out of 12. And it has been like this for the last couple months. Not understanding why? They are all healthy and only 2 years old. It has been only 2 to 4 eggs each day.
I have 12 adult girls and 16 girls that are 9 weeks old. The babies are in the yard but separated from the older girls but they can all see each other.
Today when I came home from work one of the babies was out of her area (no idea how) and with the big girls. The big girls didn't seem to...
I hate to say it but she won't make it through the night. Her breathing in just the last hour has gotten really bad. And it is 9:30 p.m. here so no where to get a syringe and needle to even try. But yes he said he would try and get the fluid out. But I just looked at her and she is getting...
I don't have a vet here to treat her. That is what sucks.
My husband doesn't have phobia about needles but not knowing where to put the needle is the thing.
I just feel so bad for her.
I have been giving her antibiotics in her water since yesterday but like I had said before I have to...
