Thanks, I will:)

Hey all, I’ve lately had to make the regrettable decision of looking for a new home for my flock. They have limited space in the city, and as much as I’d like to keep my ladies, it’s better for them to move out. :hitI have an ameraucana (Dignan), a black Australorp (Dot), a blue rock (Bean), a...

Hey all, My flock has problems. Again. Last year my five hens had a pretty bad infestation of lice, and I mostly took care of it with Permethrin and DE. This spring they started molting, but their feathers are growing in very brittle (i.e. breaking off, fraying) and sparse. They’ve also...

Here you are...

Hey all, My ameraucana is losing neck and beard feathers. On further inspection today, I noticed little grayish bugs crawling around on her bald spots. Are they mites? What can I do for her, and how can I prevent my other hens from getting mites? Thanks for any help!
