    Is this fowl pox?

    I don't know if this is her but she looked like this until her ears started to turn white. I'm sorry I should have just googled the mite situation and it would have told me what to do. I went out 2 times last night..both times the girls were not settled and awake. I don't know if they need to...

    Is this fowl pox?

    I hate to bother you again but she does have scabs on her body. Is this a sign that she has mites and I just can't see them? I did look again tonight and didn't see anything but honestly, I don't know what I am looking for. I assume they would be little bugs moving around on the base and...

    Is this fowl pox?

    I am really grateful for your help. I am in NC, just outside Charlotte. It's been hot and humid. I will check the rest of her body for scabs and her ears when my husband gets home. I did check her for mites/lice yesterday and I did not see anything on her feathers or underneath on her skin...

    Is this fowl pox?

    I don't know if this is close enough. I might need another set of hands and my husband won't be home until later. The part that is black on her ears started out as white last week. It turned into black scabs a few days ago. How do you look into her ears? I looked into her mouth and there are...

    Is this fowl pox?

    She does not feel good. She is sitting most of the time. I have to move her in and out of the coop most days. She will eat treats but don't know if she is eating her regular food. If so, what can I do to help her feel better until this passes? I now have 4 other hens which I assume will get...

    Feathers changing color is normal??

    Lol..I first read this as you telling me to cook my girls..:o I will definitely try this. I would just like to know why their feathers have changed colors though and if the loss of feathers is related to the color change or if their sisters are pecking them.

    Feathers changing color is normal??

    I am in NC, just outside Charlotte. I did look one over and I don't see anything on them. This has been going on for several months and I have checked them several times over this time. They get organic chicken crumble from tractor supply store and they get treats of dry meal worms every other...

    Feathers changing color is normal??

    What would make feather colors change? I have Australorps and they all had the typical black feathers with the iridescent green. They all had a hard molt at the end of fall/early winter and 2 of them now have very dull brown/black feathers, no green at all, and missing feathers from their heads...

    Unknown death...

    Nope..puppy rarely goes out to the coop with me...and if he does, he is on a leash so he can't run up to the fence and scare the girls. It's the neighbor's dogs I can't control and by coincidence or the cause, was running loose this morning. Already have problems with this neighbor for another...

    Unknown death...

    Hi. Thank you taking the time to respond. Could a neighbor's dog scaring her through a fence have been a cardiac event? I have a puppy who charged the fence a few times but they settled down quickly bc I stop the puppy. My neighbor's dog, who gets loose quite often, could have been chasing my...

    Unknown death...

    Thank you for responding. They just started laying at the end of December. Is there a way to check if she was? A way to feel for it? I still have her in my garage..I can check her.
