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%...
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...
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...
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.
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.

I lost 5 chickens around 6 am. 1 full grown welsommer roo, 3 buff orpingtons, and 1 americuna. Found only small bunches of feathers but they were in separate areas of the yard. 1 clump about 175 feet from their covered run in an area they never free range to, a flurry of orpington feathers...
Please help. I've raised a couple flocks before but I have 6 babies, 2 breeds, and they all have what appears to be swollen crops but just on the right side. This happened since I started putting them outside 4 days ago. They scratch and roll in the dirt but are given feed and water, of...
