    Mites issues

    Im so sorry, I never saw your post until now. Unfortunately, my situation ended up continuing for several more weeks. I tried everything I could think of. And while these products helped knock down the numbers it just continued. I ended up using my propane garden torch and just scorching the...

    Mites issues

    I've been dealing with this issue for two weeks now. I didn't get much input on this post, but figured I'd come back with an update in the hopes that my experience might help someone else. I'm not sure what kind of mites these are, but they did eventually end up on my chickens. I'm assuming...

    Mites issues

    I am assuming they are but they don't seem to match any mite I can find that infest chickens. The closest thing I've found is grain mites. I have sand in my coop and plan to clean it all out this weekend. I'm going to dose it with gas and light it up! But the issue is they have taken over the...

    Mites issues

    About two weeks ago I noted a few light colored mite looking bugs on one of my chickens. I treated all the birds and the coop with elector psp. Sunday evening I found a stash of eggs in the back corner of the chicken run. They were covered in these sand colored bugs. I assumed it was the same...

    Sick auction chicken

    I have varying ages. Most will be a year at the end of March. Then I let two broody hens hatch a few babies in October and 2 in December. I enjoy letting the broody hens hatch babies. But if this is something contagious and makes them life carriers I wouldn’t be able to continue to do that and...

    Sick auction chicken

    Here’s a short video and a few pictures. You can hardly tell she has any issue now. Before her breathing was rattling and she sounded extremely congested. Open mouth breathing. I never saw any mucous, drainage, watery or bubbly mouth. Oh, I’ve also used VetRx on her when her symptoms started...

    Sick auction chicken

    I understood why you were asking. I appreciate the thorough questions to help me try to sort it out. I guess I just haven’t found any sources or respiratory issues not being something serious that could infect my entire flock and that is what has me considering culling. I will look into getting...

    Sick auction chicken

    Never had any respiratory issues with any of my birds. She was housed in my garage in an xl dog crate with pine shavings and a roost. I had been taking her out daily to a 20x20 dog pen for fresh air and sun. She’s now in my half bath because I felt maybe being inside might be better for her. I...

    Sick auction chicken

    I got a chicken from auction. I realize now this was probably a mistake. She was quarantined 9 days before she went from fine to sick. Rattled/congested breathing. No foamy eye, no facial swelling. She’s still active and eating and drinking fine. I went and got Tylan after reading through the...
