Yes, the scabs are so old when you pull them off it almost looks like a hole like wound in the body that does not look infected almost just like a scar. I’ve only found two of them so far, but they are nowhere near where she had lice so that is a little confusing as well! Thank you for the info!
I was just dealing with lice nits and I have treated all of them. Right now it’s pretty loose where you can just pull it off. No active mites or lice at this time but I was just battling that so maybe that’s the issue.
Hi there! I noticed one of my barred rocks was just not quite as active as she normally is. She’s still in good spirits, eating and drinking and her comb is nice and red. She was just a little less active than her normal. I started checking her out and noticed two or three of these dried up...
Ok. Usually when they are injured they recommend separating them. The pasture they are in is so large and she tries to follow all the other ones. She’s walking on it nonstop to get to food and water and just to keep up. You still would go ahead and put her back in with the others?
Oh my gosh! That was my next question as I noticed one of the toes is about to completely fall off. That makes me so sad! They have a wonderful coop with bedding and roosting bars to stay out of the wind, but Lord knows they don’t use it and like to perch on the highest area taking a beating...
Hi everyone! I’ve read all the forums on gout in guinea fowl. I just wanted to post a few pictures and confirm that’s what it is? My poor girl has been limping around for about the last week or two and I finally caught her! She’s 1 of 4 Guineas and the only one showing signs and limping. The...
Hey there! I’m curious if anyone knows what this is. I’m thinking fowlpox possibly? My turkeys recently had that and I vaccinated all of my chickens, but some of them were too young to vaccinate and my little sassy pants, Goldie, might’ve gotten it. She’s acting completely fine. The inside of...
Thank you everyone! I think thats what it is too. This is so irritating bc they have been to gather since they were a week old and no rooster either! I put some Vetericyn spray and antibiotic ointment on it. Any other suggestions? Does anyone know anything about Blue Kote and would you...
Hey guys! Can somebody give me some feedback if they think this is fowl pox or what it is?!? My hen is acting just fine. She’s happy, eating good, drinking, playful and loves to be held. This started as a black dot or two months ago and seems like it’s progressively gotten worse. As of right now...
Hey everyone! Looking for some feedback on the new coop. I have 5 chicks and 2 pekin ducks. All about 3 weeks old. I've done a TON of research on my coop to be sure I build one that fits the needs of both the chicks and the ducks. Here's my question....nesting boxes?? So I have room for about 5...
Hey everyone! I love this website. Everyone is so helpful! I have 5 new baby chicks and 2 Pekin ducks. All about 3 weeks old. I live in KCMO and I’m loving these new babies!
