    Pale combs & dirty bums

    They get a 1/2 cup containing fly larve and chopped corn in the morning and the same in the evening. That’s for all 5 birds to share though. Is that too much? Should I reduce that amount? They also have their pellet food out all day.

    Pale combs & dirty bums

    I definitely do not want them crawling on me!!!! Going out now to do the mite test. They’re already on the roost for the night. Thanks for the deworming information. I will try that…

    Pale combs & dirty bums

    Thank you for that information. I haven’t noticed any mites on them. I have put DE down on the soil/sand for dust baths. Heard that was supposed to help but I’m unsure…Is there any way to tell?

    Pale combs & dirty bums

    I read that too. That’s what made us really focus on getting rid of them. So glad we haven’t seen them…

    Pale combs & dirty bums

    One just finished molting and one is molting now. Surprisingly, the one molting one has a red comb now-so strange. How can I tell if they have worms?

    Pale combs & dirty bums

    In the summer we had many rats that were getting in the run/coop. That is no longer an issue as we put 1/4 inch chicken wire throughout the whole coop including the floor. Could that have caused stress?? The run is 10x10 and the connecting coop is 3x10. There are 5 of them.

    Pale combs & dirty bums

    That’s what I thought. They really haven’t laid eggs during the summer either. In the beginning of the summer we were getting 2-3 but by mid July til now, everything stopped. I don’t remember the exact brand of pellets they are getting. I keep them in a container. I think it was Parina but I’m...

    They have been the same way all through summer as well. I am definitely cutting the treats in half. They are about 3 years old..

    Pale combs & dirty bums

    Noted. Thank you for responding. I am in Westchester NY. The weather has been great so far. There is some runny poop once in a while but I’m more concerned about the white combs and them not laying. They get about 1/2 cup of corn and fly larve in the morning and the same before they go in for...

    Pale combs & dirty bums

    Hello. Could anyone tell me why 3 out of my 5 hens have pale combs and dirty bums? I gave them Corid for a week in their water. Now I just put electrolytes in their water to change it up. They eat pellet feed, and get fly larve and corn for snacks. They haven’t laid eggs since last winter with a...

    Mice in the coop!

    Ha! Not necessarily. “The smallest mouse in NORTH AMERICA is the Pacific pocket mouse, which weighs about the same as three pennies.”
