    Mites?

    A few weeks ago I treated my flock with ivermectin drops on their skin. A couple on the back of the neck, under wings and near vent. Today, I noticed my rooster still has mites? They are microscopic! I had to stare really hard to even tell they they were moving! Is it safe to treat him again...

    Swollen head rooster

    Yesterday morning i went to go let my rooster, Eugene, out of the coop and his face looked totally fine. I went back out a few hours later to hang with the birds and noticed his face was a bit puffy... I thought maybe he got stung by a wasp or multiple wasps because he spends a lot of time under...

    hen with balance issues

    i’m pretty sure she was broody. we had some fake eggs in the nest box because we just built the nest box onto the coop and we wanted them to lay there instead of the ground. so after a week or 10 days of using the box and collecting the real eggs she started sitting on and being very protective...

    hen with balance issues

    also her poop and everything looks normal.. her balance is just weird. when she poops she leans all the way back so far she looks like she might fall over. and she will scurry away and it seems like she gets going and can’t stop and falls to one side.

    hen with balance issues

    i feed them all all-flock… she started doing this a couple days ago i thought maybe something was wrong with her from being broody and not eating and drinking her usual amount… do i just give her human vitamins and crush them up?

    sick rooster?

    I just saw him poop for the first time since I’ve been home from work and it was yellow, bubbly and mucousy. He is still eating though. I have not noticed him drinking water.

    sick rooster?

    He and the other rooster are best pals. They came from the same people. I’m assuming they’ve been together all their lives. I’ve never seen them fight. I separated them and he seemed stressed about it. He and the other rooster are always together. I have some rooster booster should I give him...

    sick rooster?

    He free ranges all day. 6:30am-7pm. I give them scratch and then he steals some of my hens layer crumbles if he can get to them. He was about a year old when I got him, and that’s what the people who gave him to me fed him so I just continued that. I’ve had him probably 2 years and never had...

    sick rooster?

    I have about a 4 year old rooster. He is usually pretty mean and won’t let me near him. I came home from work and he was like this with this head hanging down. He was fine yesterday and this morning when I let him out of the coop. When I first saw him doing this, I thought he was asleep. But...
