    red skin post lice need guidance

    A possibly important question is: Do the red areas feel any hotter than other areas of her skin? It looks like there are smaller feathers around the spots, like she could have lost feathers, and is growing them back. I don't know enough to tell if it's pecking, though.

    Eating dustbath materials

    I add sand to my dust bath, and they like the larger pieces as grit. It's not the best grit. I have some granite, as well, but they seem to like the sand. The dirt also has grit and occasionally bugs. They often dig with their beaks, without eating, though it sometimes can be hard to tell. Wood...

    Is my pullet an Amerecuana or an Easter Egger?

    It looks like wheaton to me, too, but I'm not an expert. It's kind of in between two patterns I have had with green legs. As they got older, they looked more and more different.

    Chicken Tractor Design for Uneven Sloped Land

    That could work. They tend to mix it all over their area, so you would want to use stuff you want/don't mind being added to the ground. It also either makes the tractor heavier or is a separate piece to move. Depending on where it is in the tractor, it could block some of the forage area. For...

    prayer warriors (following Jesus Christ, everyone welcome)

    My mother was improving, and I am very grateful for time spent with her, but she somehow caught covid. Doctors doubt she will survive it, but there is a chance. I pray for all who are dealing with disease in themselves or in people (and also animals) they care about. It is hard. I am quite...

    prayer warriors (following Jesus Christ, everyone welcome)

    I saw my mother become bedridden in about that time. She is getting better, in some ways, but in a lot of pain. I still don't know all the test results, but doctors have no hope of finding a real solution, so we're relying on God the Healer. I pray we stay strong in the Lord, for Him to live in...

    My mom is waiting for test results... We are in God's hands.

    prayer warriors (following Jesus Christ, everyone welcome)

    I discovered this thread earlier this year. I love the care that you have for each other. I have checked back a few times, and in between, sometimes prayed for anyone posting here, though not actually reading it. (I prefer to be specific, but have been having some difficulties.) I have thought...

    First time I have been this far with a bite wound, would like to avoid further mistakes

    The rest of the plug came out today. It looks like yellow scabbing in there now. I filled the tunnel with wound gel, added some neosporin in a small area the gel didn't fill, and some cream on top and bandaged it.

    This is the piece of bone inside a plastic bag. I'm going to save it for now, just in case.The end on the bottom right of the picture was sticking out of the hole.

    First time I have been this far with a bite wound, would like to avoid further mistakes

    Her back seems to be healing pretty well. She had a scab down lower that fell off, leaving these holes. The dark stuff was coming out in a plug, sometimes, then going back in. I was removing what came off easy, which was stringy, but they kinda joined inside, and grew outward into a lump, the...

    Help! My hen has stopped drinking any water and has barely eaten for 3 weeks.

    Yes. I believe that. They hide it well, too.

    Help! My hen has stopped drinking any water and has barely eaten for 3 weeks.

    Thanks for sharing the results. To me, it sounds like the intestines were the bottleneck. They may have had a secondary infection, which often happens with cancer. In that case, she had some temporary relief when that was dealt with, but it sounds like they were calcifying, which makes it hard...

    What kind of worm is this?

    I think this is a fresh cecal, but could be wrong. It looks like fly larvae, but wondering if it could be cecal worms or something...
