kinda small like 3x4 and it gets kinda cold near the garage so I keep that 250 Wat lamp in there but have the door cracked open all the time and they actually sit under it soaking up the heat?
i swab his mouth to check for gape worms but didn't noticed any red on swab tip... He is becoming mean too to the hen he wants all the food especially all the protein stuff won't let the hen really eat but when I separate them she eats ... They both still have that ill sick look tho but pretty...
Seems a lil better and he's definitely better appetite but did noticed wrinkle dry looking skin.. Is this normal after treatment ? He tends to love the dry meal worms and dark green veggies he gobble it all up super huge crop and seems to be gaining some weight... Just the dry/wrinkle skin kinda...
thank u so much I will take your advice and change food as soon as I get home. Thanks again my BYC family God bless everyone. I will keep y'all updated.
mix scratch with more layer pellets veggies and few dried meal worms every evening... I have multi drench in water. I think once I get the quill mites and worms under control they should make a fast recovery... Fingers crossed hope for the best... Thank u
Shoot!! so after all that today I came home to care for me birds on my lunch break... My rooster poop out watery poop like it usually does... But.... Today immediately I noticed moving twitching from the poop... A closer look reveals I think round worms... About 1/4 in look like small noodles...
atm I keep them inside house in closet do to cold weather and Wer sick I bought them in these conditions... I had no idea about chickens but learned a lot past 2 weeks... I change bedding twice a day.. Canker sores in mouth respiratory infections along with quill mites... And who knows what...
Found some feathers on my birds the heavier damage ones with deposits like in this picture... Possibly that's what it is not real bad infestation yet??
I've read that mites can b invisible to the eye and lives in the feather folicals and damaged emerge with newly molted feathers which I can see happening but not 100 percent sure...
BYC members my chickens are all mess up.. Any idea what this might be?? I noticed for awhile thought Mayb cage damage but closer look even the new feathers are showing signs of lines going across and looks like something eating at it... Hen and rooster cage together... Hen shows small signs this...
