    Treating Depluming Mites?

    Hello everyone! I was hoping I might be able to get some advice for dealing with depluming mites. I finally figured out that was what my silkie had, after months of trying all different topical treatments without seeing any bugs, but her feather condition continuing to worsen. She constantly...

    I had the same question, I didn't realize that it was only one photo per entry. I posted two of the same painting because one alone didn't capture the iridescent quality of the pigments.

    My chick ingested some neosporin, will she be okay?

    My little Easter Egger chick (about 2 months old) somehow managed to get a scratch on her comb. I was treating the scratch with vetricyn for poultry and I also picked up some neosporin because I read here that it can be used to treat a chicken's cuts. I put a small dab on a q-tip to apply to her...

    Thanks! That is close by. I appreciate the offer, but I think my husband might object to any more birds in/around this house. :gigI will keep that in mind if we move somewhere with more space, though!

    Oh, how exciting! I hope it's not too late to enter this acrylic painting of my silkie, Pompom, embellished of course. It's acrylic paint, pearl ex pigments, and Swarovski crystals:

    They sing through life, so why can't we?

    Hello everyone, I am new to Backyard Chickens and still fairly new to raising chickens. I couldn't think of a catchy thread title, so I picked a favorite song lyric. The full lyric is "I used to think as birds take wing, 'they sing through life, so why can't we?'" Anyway, onto the...

    Sexing Easter Eggers

    That's great news, and thanks so much for the quick reply! Mint green eggs sound fabulous. My silkies lay cream and light brown eggs, so a little color mix up would be neat. Audrey sounds lovely, too. I was getting a bit worried because Dr. C's hackles do look a little pointy, thanks for...

    Sexing Easter Eggers

    Hey all, I am brand new here, and I was hoping for some help sexing my peep. When I got my peep at the hatchery at 2 weeks old, they said I had a pullet, but that their sexing is about 80% accurate. I was originally told my peep was an Ameraucana, but after reading up on the breed, I am thinking...
