    Parasites?

    Does that mean you think it’s a parasite? I don’t want to treat with permethrin if it’s not necessary. I do have some in powder form...like a garden supplement (see attached photo) Does that work? Strange question because not ingested, but Can you eat the eggs with exposure to this product?

    Parasites?

    What is going on with my girls? One as had a bald rump for a few months now. It is not wet with yeast and doesn’t totally appear to just be plucked. Do old chickens get skin atrophy? She has still been off and on laying in her 6-7th year of life. The other has been getting mangy looking neck...

    Hatchery breed mistake now gender??

    I’m the same way so I wanted to go to a nice hatchery and this happened. They were so accommodating and expedited me upgraded olive eggers for free and a lavender Orpington that they were out of stock on but had for these emergency type deliveries. I feel bad bashing them at this point since...

    Hatchery breed mistake now gender??

    I ordered female olive eggers and was sent white Cochin🤦🏼‍♀️ Any idea if this is a 8 week old male in the first pic? Also, my Easter egger that is suppose to be a pullet from the same hatchery has a very pink comb and is quite a bossy little thing! Picture 2 and 3. ‘She’ is also 8 weeks! Thank...

    Blue birchen maran gender (6 weeks)

    Ok, thank you so much! The combs and waddles are not red or large, so I’m assuming pullet. Those narrow feathers were just making me nervous🤣

    Blue birchen maran gender (6 weeks)

    Are these saddle feathers in pic. 1 (pic 2 comb, pic 3 tail feathers)?? All the feathers are a little narrow so not sure. The other blue birchen maran received in the same order is pic 4-5.

    change of pecking order

    The coop is 4x4 the run is 16x16. They free range in the yard a few hours a day. I wish it was more, but we have lost them to bobcats when they are unsupervised. The two that are more aggressive with each other were in the brooder together 15 months ago. The other 2 were introduced about a year...

    change of pecking order

    I have a flock of 4 and all of a sudden my RIR that was always at the top is being attacked by the one on the bottom. This was my once timid and pecked featherless amaraucana and the others are also participating. This is not just a little peck on the back or head but rather brutal biting and...

    Help with possible respiratory illness

    Thank you so much! Yesterday she started to make some crazy noises (wheezing coughing), but after a little bit it cleared up. I am on the fence here. I rubbed a little vetRX on her comb and under her wings last night. May bring her down for an antibiotic injection to the local feed store today...
