I have a GAME CHANGER (that is if you have homegrown eggs). My daughter found this recently - thanks internet- and it works 99.9% of the time. It’s so easy, I’ve been eating beautiful hard boiled eggs for weeks. Wish I’d found this years ago...

I am soooooo happy to hear that!!!!!!! Great job with her! I wish the best health for your girls in the future.

Sounds to me like you are doing a fabulous job with her. I've never had to worm my girls (and I don't believe it necessary to treat them if there's no problem) so I can't accurately give you information on how often/much to worm them. But I will say that if worms are the problem, then if one...

Since your chickens like the box then keeping the box well supplied with DE and that dust should keep the mites away. I tried a box for mine but they never understood, so I just watched to find out where they dust bathe, and sprinkle some mite dust there. If you did a good job killing off the...

There is no withdrawl on the label. I have never worried. I shouldn't think it would be a problem since they don't consume it.

DE should do the trick. If you feel like you still need something more, in the past I have used a powder labeled "garden and poultry dust" with active ingredient Permethrin. Hopefully you caught it early enough that the chicks are ok, good thinking not handling them with the same hands as the...

Next time you give her a bath (I'm assuming you already gave her the one you talked about today) add some epsom salts to the water. It might help her out a bit and it never hurts.

I hope you get a call back soon. I want a good outcome for your girl and am hoping the vet can help.

Please excuse my drawing...I'm in no way an artist.

60 Haha well it's still cute and a pretty color...unlike my few spot POA that kinda looks moldy!!! But I love him to death!! (And I guess it's prettier than plain brown, though I'm not a fan of the white.)

Ok get this one. I know someone who was trying to raise some meat chickens. They were concerned about heat lamps for cost, risk of fire, etc. So they asked if they could keep their chicks warm with...wait for it... Fur. Yes, fur. I had to stop myself from asking if she was kidding. :lau :he

100 I love your buckskin chicknsrock

Hmmmmmm.....this one's a toughie. I also have one mean roo and a particularly weenie victim. I spoil the victim to make the roo feel bad about himself.:P Sounds like she's pretty happy with you spioling her. Everybody wants a house chicken......right?

Maybe if you have a portable dog pen etc. then you could set it up in your coop to let her be at home yet not susceptible to being picked on. If she seems happy, fabulous. I treat my sick girls with yogurt and other tasties . Hope she keeps up the good feeling.
