    MY CHICKEN IS PROBABLY ON THE VERGE OF DIYING

    It sounds like it could possibly be lice. Mites are very small, about the size of a grain of pepper and can be a variety of colors from clear to red/brown. Here's a photo of adult lice Lice eggs

    MY CHICKEN IS PROBABLY ON THE VERGE OF DIYING

    Check her bum where she poos and lays eggs. You'll have to move the feathers around to get a good look. If she has mites or lice, you'll see bugs moving around or even scabs on her bum.

    Crusty beak

    What kind of food do you feed? I read that small particles of feed (like powdery crumbles at the end of a bag) can build up around their beak and cause them to become necrotic.

    Are these healing scabs?

    That looks like it's just about healed to me! Great job! I wouldn't treat it anymore (looks like you're down to healthy skin and it just needs to finish healing over a bit)

    HELP! Lice or mites? Treatment?

    Oi vey! 🫠 I spent the evening bleaching and spraying alcohol all over my basement utility room. Washed and dried (hot setting) all my clothes and showered twice. My basement will be off limits to my cat for the next month until any I missed die off due to starvation. Thank you for everyone’s...

    HELP! Lice or mites? Treatment?

    I brought my hen to my basement and washed her in the utility sink. I sprayed the area with alcohol after- left for awhile and came back to see there were mites on the air dryer.

    HELP! Lice or mites? Treatment?

    @azygous i saw you mentioned you use elector PSP… I’m leaning toward this method since it’s 1 and done. I only have 7 chickens. 1 of them has a decent infestation. I ordered the PSP and it’ll be here tomorrow. In the meantime, I gave her a bum bath and pulled feathers with eggs, blow dried...

    Hen Getting Aggressively Singled Out

    I've had 2 hens that were bullies over the years... The first hen I was able to correct with pinless peepers. A few years later, my other hen started targeting my lowest in the pecking order (who also happened to be my favorite hen) for no reason. She would jump on her back and relentlessly...

    HELP! Impacted Crop

    I too spent thousands at the vet- gave her shots and all kinds of things but nothing the vet did really helped. I dealt with it for 5 years every fall. I realized that's just how she molted, so I tried to support her through that with giving her whatever she would eat (usually scrambled eggs...
