I have a quarentined chicken recovering from being picked on. She has healed good, but I noticed today she has lice. I have some DE ordered but I thought I read that someone used Adams flea & tick on theirs. Just wanted to give her some relief right away.
Can I use the Adams on her?
I just noticed my polish has lice. She is currently quarentined because of another problem I had in the coop. Someone(rooster I suspect) pecked her head clear and raw of feathers. Also pecked a hole in her neck. Both are healing. So, I have reading these postes and I just want to know what...
Thanks for the replies back. I have some medicated feed out there for them. She has access to layer and scratch(about 2x a day for the scratch). I guess I will just watch from the sidelines!
And the other chickens and rooster seem to be doing fine. I have watched them interact and so far...
My year old hen just hatched her 1st 4 chicks! YEAH! She is a free-roamer in the yard and I was wondering is there anything special I need to do for them or just let nature take it's course? Our yard is VERY well covered from predators and so far the other free-roaming chickens are doing...
I read some older posts on using Snake Away around a coop. I couldn't find anything on free-roaming chickens. If I use the Snake Away around the barn, do I need to sorry about my free-roamers getting to it?
Can I go ahead and feed my 14 chickens Layer feed? Right now they are on a Medicated starter feed. I have 7 that I hatched myself that I KNOW are 4 1/2 months old. I got about 7 more a month ago and added to the flock. The ones I added were about the same age...maybe off a few weeks. But I...
I noticed that my rooster (avatar pic) had this yellow mucus in his eye the other day. Past couple of nights he hadn't got up on the roost with the girls. Today he was hanging out by the house without his girls(they were off scavaging). I approached him and his sight seemed off, like he...
I currently have my 3 month olds on a medicated starter feed. What do I go to next? My local feed store only carries the Meedicated starter then he goes to a laying pellet. He also carries the scratch feed. I have adults seperate that get the laying pellets(available all day) and some...

Just wanted to make sure they'd be ok. I KNOW I have atleast 3. There are about 3 others I'll have to wait a little longer. Thanks for the response.
