    Hen keeps getting bullied

    Thanks for the reply. What product would you recommend for worming them? They're meant to be under 1 year old according to the person who I bought them from, but I'm not sure about that since they only laid 1 egg per day among the 5 of them during summer, so I suspect that they may be quite...

    Hen keeps getting bullied

    One of my hens is unwell, she has loose stool, seems generally weaker than the other four and weights lighter, so I decided to separate her and give her extra food hoping that she's put on some weight and gain strength. The problem is that whenever I open her cage so that she can come out out...

    Chickens not laying egg, could they be too old?

    Hi everyone All of my five chickens have stopped laying eggs! They eat well and drink water just fine, I'm starting to suspect that they may be too old as when I bought them a few months ago they'd only lay 1 and on a few occasions 2 eggs a day between all five of them, is there any way I could...

    Looking for advice regarding mites and lice

    Sadly, I don't know their age, the person I bought them from said they lay 2-3 eggs a week. They're free range, I highly doubt that they're laying eggs any where other than the coop as my garden isn't that big.

    Looking for advice regarding mites and lice

    Thanks for your detailed reply. I've already ordered Nettex and DE, I'm hoping they'll solve the problem. The hens have been laying very few eggs, 1 a day between the 6 of them, so maybe I'll see an improvement in that.

    I managed to find the one contains permethrin: https://www.flytesofancy.co.uk/chickenhouses/Net-Tex-Total-Mite-Kill-Concentrate-500ml-NTX4354.html It's quite pricey, nearly $20 with delivery charge!

    Wish I had found this site sooner, wasted a lot of time and energy on using DE.

    Looking for advice regarding mites and lice

    I'm based in UK, don't think I'll find that product in here. I've across a few mite sprays with good reviews but none of them mention if they have any Permethrin...

    Looking for advice regarding mites and lice

    I just ordered a 10kg bag of DE a few days ago! Do you know if red mite can affect humans? I've had quite a few red dots around my body which feel a little itchy.

    Looking for advice regarding mites and lice

    I've used DE, problem is that a few days later I noticed that the mites were actually on the ceiling, but they were all grey which I guess is a good sign as it indicates they hadn't fed on the chickens.
