Thank you for replying. When I noticed this I was trimming the vent feathers to try and help with fertility. I dont think the vent was swollen like he was straining I think it looks that way in the picture because I had just rubbed some olive oil on it and he was moving his vent when I took the...

I was handling my birds yesterday and checking to make sure everyone was okay and when I picked up this birds and noticed the redness around his vent and also looking like it was trying to spread towards his breast. If you have any ideas as to what this may be please comment and help me asap. If...

Yeah. Well the person I got my birds from is very reputable in my breed and I contacted her about this and she said that she has never had lice or mites in her flock and she uses DE just like we do. Anyways, I am going to do some of this this weekend and I will get back to the post on Sunday or...

Sorry about all the previos stuff. I use the DE for the same reasons listed above and my birds are very good at dust bathing on their own and I havent seen any signs of lice and or mites. I just want to do it as a precaution. Therefore, for now I think I will jsut dust them with the food grade...

I do as well. I have n

Yeah. That is what

Have you used the garden and poulty dust you attached in the previous picture before?

Would food grade diatomaceous earth work?

So I will get some Valbazen but I am still a little confused on what to dust them with? If you could clarify it would be great. Thank you again

I am in south alabama so it is not real cold just cool in the morning and the warms up to mid 70s in the afternoon. But I will just dust bathe them. Will you please recommend a wormer and a dust bathe powder? Thank you again

Okay. Well I will split run this weekend, lime, and till and water the like. Let it sit for a week. During this time I will do a first worming and dust bathe the new birds. Then in 10 days I will re deworm and let it work for one more week. Then bathe the sacrifice bird and existing bird and put...

The way that I would do the sacrifice is split the current pen the existing hen is in and put her and the new hen together on one side. Then let the be for a few weeks. If no signs of sickness then I will add the other three birds in a few weeks. How long do I need to have the new and old hen...

I am only going to integrate one hen of my existing flock to this new flock of four birds because she is the only want I want to add to this breeding group. Should I take one of the new hens and her and put them together first and let them be together for a few weeks to see if anything happens...

Thanks for the responses. Speckled hen: do you recommend me keeping the birds in quarentined longer that a month and a half? To be honest I can probably keep then in the pen for a while but I have another shipment of two to three new birds coming and I was going to move the quarentine birds out...

Anyone with knowledge on this please respond. Thank you

Did you do anything to the ground of the run before placing the new birds In the run such as clean, plant grass seeds, till or anything to prevent disease? Thank you

I have four new birds that have been in quarentined for three weeks and I plan on adding them to my existing flock in two to three weeks. I have a few questions before I move them. One is, should I split the coop and run of the existing flock and add these birds on the other side? Also, do I...

I would like to know the answer to this because I have been told multiple different things from supposedly chicken savvy people.

I am sorry for asking this but how exactly are y'all building these. I am interested in them but am curious the material that everyone is using.

x2. Look like you have a pullet
