    Sick hen

    The material I read suggested Ivermectin and said it was equally effective if given orally or topically so I gave it topically. Note I’m wondering, Should I treat the entire flock?

    Sick hen

    Young rooster pulling out neck and back feathers (and eating them🤦🏼‍♀️) of 8 young hens. Evil or learning?

    I kept the same feed that they have all been on previously. It’s an 18% protein all flock pellets and crumble mixed with black oil SF seeds. They also get black soldier fly grubs for treats. That said, I’m open to suggestions!

    Thank You for the reply. It’s completely bent over and seems to be fused that way. Also, only 2 toes on that foot.

And I had to remove her as the other 4 were trying to eat her. She can’t walk or even get off her belly. The foot seems fused to her leg and it appears to...
