    Mites!

    Pyretherin or permetherin? They are of the same derivitive but everything I've read says specifically permetherin for chickens. I have cats and permetherin is very toxic to cats but pyretherin is not, however permetherin is what is recommended for chickens. Any experience with one or the other?

    Comment by 'Emmies Chicks' in item 'Ameraucana'

    I had Ameraucanas and they were the sweetest birds, except for 1 rooster that found it his mission to flog me every time I walked out the front door lol The other rooster was super sweet.

    Mites!

    3 week old chicks have mites. What is best to treat them with and what is best way to treat/clean their coop/brooder with? They stay in a galvanized water trough on pine shavings during the cooler hours of the morning and then I turn them out in a 10x10 pen on grass until evening.

    How long should I continue Corid?

    Started my 8, 2-3 week old chicks on Corid last Friday because of bloody puddles of poop from 1-2 chicks. One of them is still pooping blood puddles. I can't for the life of me figure out which one it is or I would quarantine it. I quarantined one of the babies for 36 hours and its poop cleared...

    Coccidiosis

    I have 8 baby chicks (2 Australorp, 4 Orpington Buff, 2 Cornish Rock) that I bought Monday at Tractor Supply. They are 1-2 weeks old. This morning I noticed bloody stool in their brooder. I am using Rubbermaid tubs with shaving flakes as their bedding with a heat lamp. I am feeding Dumoor...
