I keep reading elector PSP is the best spray to treat a coop for red mites, is there anything more affordable out there that actually works? Has anyone had any luck with ivermectin?

This is Tweety, she's a 3 month old pullet that's half Naked Neck and half Asian Black. She has these red areas on her face, somewhat symmetrical, but worse on the left side than the right. I don't know if the crooked neck is related or if my other pullet stepped on her neck while trying to get...

Hi! I have a 5 month old red chicken and I have no idea what breed she is. She is small and is a dark red. But she has a crest on her head. She has a few black feather on her tail. She lays small brown eggs. Any ideas on what breed my girl is? Don't mind the muddy hay it rained overnight 😊

I have a total of 8 hens. 4 are Silver Laced Wyandottes. 1 of them is the dominant hen. The other 3 have feathers missing from the area where it would usually be missing from a rooster and it's very red. I have seen her mount other hens. No blood that I can see and no sign of pests that I can...

Hello! 😄 I’m planning on working on a line of red silkies. It seems like there is a lot of confusion out there on the red/buff genetics, so I’m HOPING (🙏🏼🙏🏼) someone can shed some more light on how it actually works. My limited understanding is that buff genes have red diluters and red genes...

Hello! I’m getting a trio of new Zealands but can’t decide on color combos. The breeder has Red, Black, and Blue NZs. What should I get??? One of each? What color buck should I pick? (I don’t want to have siblings breed so my doe and buck need to be from different litters) I know nothing about...

I apologize ahead of time for the gross picture. It just happened in the moment and hands were sanitized immediately after! One of my Easter egger pullets was acting “off” tonight and went to go roost for bed earlier than any of the others which isn’t like her at all. I just saw this hanging...

I have a 4 month old RI Red rooster free to good home if anybody is interested (Bucks County)

Wondering what breeds and genders these two are. 1 red and 1 blue. They are just over 9 weeks old. Got them from someone who got them at tractor supply. He doesn’t remember what they are. They were sexed as pullets.

I have a 3 year old sultan rooster and he's been very healthy up to a few months ago when his legs started to look odd. Kind of dry. I put Vaseline on but it did not help. It continued progressing and now his legs are all raised and red and swollen. One toe is terribly swollen. He has been to...

My rooster, Dinner, has had this spot for a few weeks now. 😕 I can't figure out how he got it & I can't get rid of it either! I tried bag balm & a "poultry wound spray".. I also checked for mites that might be on him, but I didn't see anything. Does anyone have any idea about what this could...

Hi. My roosters name is tater chip. We got him from a feed store where we live and the bantams were straight run and was hoping for two females. He isn’t aggressive and is actually very tame. I live very close to other people and cannot have a crowing rooster. Anyone looking for a rooster for...

What breed and gender is this? Think its a roo based on comb size. Its got red and black feathers.

Hi there, a couple days ago I noticed that my year old chicken's butt became swollen, red and bloody. It looks like part of her stomach is coming out of her butt. Also, she's been pooping yellow goo. She's the lowest on the pecking order due to her legs being sprained, I don't know if that's...

A few days ago, I noticed something, my chixk was losing some neck feathers. I managed to get a better look yesterday... It's not pink, actually a blochy dark red colour... The skin around it looks dry. Its not very big though... Any ideas on what it is? Will it hurt her? I need to know If i...

Hello, I keep cochin bantams And I’d love to see some pics of some other Cochin bantams!

I have a black australorp that I am a little worried might be a male. The chicken was born the last week of July this year. The last picture is from this week. The other two are from last week. The chicken seems to be more red and none of our other chickens have red on them. (We have a mixed...
