    Rooster alone in apartment while at work?

    Thank you so much for your kind response. As you rightly mentioned, saving the entire flock is the way to go. Also, I am looking to move into a new home in about 2-3 months, so I'll bring them all with me at that time. It will all be Ok in the end. This is all part of a learning process -...

    Lice eggs all up and down and around vent and tail

    I just came across this very helpful thread so I think I am good: : https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/how-do-i-treat-chicken-lice.1215712/#post-19401066 In addition, Elector PSP seems to work great. Expensive, but worth the price it seems.

    Lice eggs all up and down and around vent and tail

    My rooster has red sores and lice eggs all around his tail and up and down the back of his body. What would be the best way to treat against the lice eggs? my doctor suggested plucking out the feathers but that would entail plucking out almost all of his feathers. Any suggestions would be...

    Rooster alone in apartment while at work?

    Oh no transferring mice from rooster to human def. does not sound fun! Thank you for the heads-up. And by the way, we just came back from the vet and discovered he also had lice! And one lice was actually walking on his comb; so vet recommended to spray with pyrethrins. He has lice eggs at...

    Rooster alone in apartment while at work?

    Thank you so much for your kind responses. Long story behind why treating only him instead of the entire flock... they were all handraised in apt, then moved them to a farm, but this farm is all infested, and I can only "save" him by taking him temporarily in my apt until I move to a house (in...

    Hi, just following up on the red vent situation. I took Henry (my pet rooster) to the vet today and turns out that those were mites. So the doctor gave him an ivermectin shot - he said mites die off immediately after they bite him. He also took an aerobic culture of his poop (because in his...

    Thank you so much for responding, Wyorp. Yes, he has swelling all around his vent and also all the way up to his tail AND irritation around the tail. Now I understand why he keeps swinging his tail left and right (kind of like a horse) to probably try to shake the itching/mites off of him? I...

    I am experiencing the exact same issue with my rooster (please see photos attached and apologize for the graphic photos). I am taking him to a vet tonight, and I will post an update as to what the issue may be.
