    Mite problem

    Thank you all for this great advice! I love being able to come here to get help raising our sweet chickens. Sadly, Brownie passed away this morning. When I went to see her first thing, she had collapsed to the ground. I picked her up and held her wrapped in a towel for about 5 minutes before...

    Mite problem

    Thank you both for your advice! I’m hesitant to keep using the permethrin 😬 after I dust her with it, Brownie continuously twitches her head for about three days 😭 I think she’s having a hard time tolerating it and it’s causing neurological symptoms. Have you ever used ivermectin?

    Mite problem

    Multiple times per day, I brush the mites off of her into the laundry tub, and next time I look at her, she looks like this again. 😩

    Mite problem

    So I have a young hen, Brownie, who had not been acting like her usual spunky self for the past 4 weeks. She was lethargic and keeping to herself.

    Breeds?

    Breeds?

    Is it possible for Austra Whites to lay blue green eggs? Two of the chickens that definitely resemble Austra Whites have blue green ear lobes and lay blue green eggs

    Breeds?

    Thank you so much! You’re good! I guess black and white Helen is our mystery chicken. I wonder what her eggs will look like. She’s the last to start laying.

    Breeds?

    We got the assortment package of chicks from TSC and they are growing up beautifully. The little ladies are now five months old and starting to lay. I’m at a loss as to what their breeds are. Anyone have any ideas? Our brownies laid the brown egg The white ones (with a few black flecks) lay...

    What are these bugs?

    These tiny bugs are infesting the chicken yard. Does anyone know what they are? I have a video that shows them better, but I can’t figure out how to upload a video. Are they mites? My children get covered in them when visiting with the chickens. I can’t find any on the actual chickens, but I’d...
