    MITES!!

    You can try clove oil and a dawn dish soap mixture to spray. Also, this company has a formula that seems to kill and prevent mites...

    Mite infestation and freezing temperatures

    Sorry I reread your message and realized you said a spray likely won’t work. Diatomaceous earth is supposed to work wonders as well, it’s just good to have around. Just make sure it’s food grade!

    Mite infestation and freezing temperatures

    Have you tried a clove oil treatment? I am using the following product and it seems to kill mites on contact. I just gave my rooster a bath in it and they fell off immediately...

    Mite Identification

    After doing some research, I think these may be tropical fowl mites, since I am finding them on the birds and all over the roosts. I’ve also found them in my house unfortunately so wigging out extra about that. We’ve brought some of our birds in due to injury so we certainly walked into that one...

    Mite Identification

    Thanks for the replies! This is the first time any of my flock has ever had mites in the 6 years I’ve had them, but we have had rodent issues more recently, so I suspected it was going to happen at some point. I live in Tennessee and wasn’t sure if they were northern fowl or chicken/red mites...

    Mite Identification

    It’s hard to tell but it has 8 legs. I observed it under the microscope last night.

    Mite Identification

    Does anyone know what kind of mite this is? I have found a few crawling on me these last few days 😩 Looks like I have some work ahead of me…

    Necessary Multiple Rooster Space in a Coop and Run

    I hear ya. I wouldn’t dream to add more in that space at all, I was just joking based on the “recommended” space of 2-3 square feet per chicken.😋

    Necessary Multiple Rooster Space in a Coop and Run

    Good advice, thank you! I am still working on adding objects to the run but currently have several branches for them to perch on as well as a ladder, and they are able to get under the coop porch. I have attached a few photos- we definitely plan to build some hiding places, my wheels have been...

    Necessary Multiple Rooster Space in a Coop and Run

    Hi! It's an 8x12 shed that we converted into a coop. They are 7 months old. The roosters were unintentional; I had ordered all hens and received a couple roosters...the beta rooster was originally mistaken as a female because he was a late developer, haha! At this point I just want to raise...

    Necessary Multiple Rooster Space in a Coop and Run

    I definitely don't want to rehome him (I'd prefer to rehome the alpha honestly), so the solution will probably be to just build him his own space and add our docile hens in there with him. Do you think they could all still roost in the same coop together though?

    Necessary Multiple Rooster Space in a Coop and Run

    Thanks! I'm not planning to keep him alone but I am wondering if the alpha will let him roost in the same coop at the end of the day. I just want the beta to have some run space too, and he currently isn't allowed to have that by our alpha. They also grew up together but just don't enjoy hanging...

    Necessary Multiple Rooster Space in a Coop and Run

    Hi everyone! I have two roosters - an alpha and a beta, in addition to 11 hens. Currently my beta is shunned to the chicken coop and doesn't confidently come out to the run unless my husband or I are out there with him. We want to give him his own run space and to forage, and potentially add a...
