    Please Help - scaly leg mites on rooster?

    Okay, thank you for your reply. I will continue to keep watch on him. I have a few hens with bumble foot, so hoping that is not the issue. Appreciate you all being here! Cheers!

    Please Help - scaly leg mites on rooster?

    Please Help - scaly leg mites on rooster?

    I have a newish addition (July 2024) to the flock that appears to be having issues with his legs. We caught him yesterday to see why he had blood on his leg, and took these pics. Is this the first signs of scaly let mites? All of my hens seem to be dirt bathing and preening a TON in the last...

    Oh goodness! Thank you for your response! I'm quite certain dear hubby will not entertain a vet bill like that, even if I could find an avian one nearby. Okay, thanks, I will proceed with the monistat, and go from there. One concern I have is that I read that the rooster could get the yeast...

    prolapse, or compounded by gleet-looking for help!

    Hello! New member hoping to get advice from long-timers. One of my girls was egg-bound on 2/13/23, sitting in a corner in the run. When I went back out to get her, she was outside with the others (with a very poopy butt). I found a bloody-ish egg where she'd been (pic below). I went ahead and...
