    Lice Eggs-Will They EVER Fall Off?

    Thanks for the great advice, QueenMisha. Looks like I'm going to be busy plucking and dusting. I'm glad you didn't suggest washing. I never look forward to that event. :)

    Lice Eggs-Will They EVER Fall Off?

    We found bird lice on our chickens in July when we were bathing them for the fair. Ugh. I've dusted the birds and the coops with Sevin, bombed the coops with pyrethrin, cleaned the coop with bleach and blue dawn. Dusted the coop with Sevin and DE. I've performed this routine twice since I...

    It's a Beautiful Day to Sling Poo

    It was a copperhead! It was about 3' long. All the chickens were having a fit! Glad I didn't step on him!

    I'm glad I don't have to do that for awhile. We have a friend with a chicken plucker, which is awesome. Check out what was waiting for me at the coop.

    We love 4-H and my daughter is starting her 10th year. It will be her 4th year in the poultry project. She has done very well in the project for having a momma who didn't know anything about chickens. :) Can't tell that I'm a little proud, huh? So far she's had 1 Grand Champion and 2 Reserve...

    Please be a pullets - EE & Australorp Roos? 6 weeks

    We usually buy our chicks early spring and keep them in a brooder box so it's easy for me to observe them. In my experience the cockrels combs usually come out first. I've noticed they jump at other chicks and take the lead and venture out first when I change their food and water. There's always...

    Yellow Ear Crust. Need advice from the BYC Pros

    Thank you Eggcessive for the links! I'm gathering the tools and getting ready to head outside to treat her. Hoping it's just an ear infection.

    Hello Everyone! After lurking for 2 years I finally decided to join you! My family lives about 50 miles west of St. Louis in rural Missouri. My daughter wanted to keep chickens as a 4-H project and although I was resistant and a little scared at first, I think I love them more than she does...

She has yellow goopy crust on her ear holes and continually opens her mouth like she's yawning or trying to remove something from her throat. I haven't heard her coughing or...
