    Elusive Mites??

    Good morning I’ve had an issue with my flock for awhile now. They constantly shake their heads. It’s like a quick shake, say, like you would to shake your hair out of your eyes.

    Is something wrong with with her?

    I have a sweet hen named Cuckoo(Username). She has always twitched her head like she’s trying to itch it. She also has patches of lost feathers around her head and other areas. I think if it was mites everybody else would be like this. What could she have?

    Itchy Chicks- is it moulting or parasites!?

    Hi guys! So my chicks are all growing in their feathers, some faster than others, and some of them have bald patches for days while the full feathers grow in. Some of the chicks seem to grow feathers right out of the follicle with the down still attached, lucky things, but one girl in...
