What should I use to get rid of mites?

I think it could be mites that are making its feathers like that, but it could also be molting. I am going to get something to get rid of mites just incase. It’s back end is dirty from droppings. I washed it off as best I could, but today it’s all dirty again. It’s acting like the other chicken...

None of the other chickens have symptoms of this. These symptoms only started today. I have had problems with scaly leg mites, do u think it could be from them.

I already had one chicken die but I thought it was just from old age since she was a 4 year old isa brown. Now I have another chicken that is acting sick that is only a little over a year old. It cannot get up at all and is just laying there on its side. It is a sizzle so that is why it’s...

The chick just passed away

I don’t have any save a chick mix. I tried to get it to eat because it is not eating. That yellow stuff is just egg I put out for it.

The silkie chick is almost a month old and has just started acting sick. It is huntched over and not moving from were it is standing. It’s crop feels full of water. It is smaller than a chick that is 4 days younger than it. It is very weak and can almost not walk around. It’s poop is diarrhea...

Number 1 Number 2 both of them

I have a 2 month old leghorn that layed an egg. It is a little bigger than a penny. Does it mean anything if they lay an egg this young.

No, luckily!! We got the male cat fixed.

I think they are pullets. Sometimes when it is windy chickens will open there mouths, because it is harder to breath. They would not be trying to crow at that age.

I think that that is a frizzle. Silkies are usually called sizzles. That is not a silkie its skin is red and its feathers are white. Silkies have white feathers with black skin. Sizzles should have 5 toes instead of four.

She is still eating and drinking, and she is trying her best to walk around. I do not think she is sick or anything.

My silkie chicken had a limp for a while and now it has gotten worse. She is stumbling when she walks now and I don’t know why. She started limping months ago. Could it maybe be malnutrition or something. She can still kinda walk but she sometimes falls down. It does not look like it is hurting...

Hello, I know that this thread was a while ago. I am just wondering if your chick recovered. I have some chicks that breathed I water through their nostrils, and I just want to make sure they will be okay. They are breathing through their mouth which I know isn’t normal. I tried wiping there...
