Ok I did! They’re 7 weeks old

7 week old OE and EE 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 12

Permethrin powder

No rooster

Most of my hens (a year old) have raw/pecked areas around their vents and on their back by their tails. This has been going on a while. I have tried so many things. Enrichment (they cans free range), treating for mites (even though I’ve seen no evidence), and they even have pinless peepers on...

She should be a layer is my whole question around this. I have 17 birds. All a year old. I can’t separate and meal feed the ones that haven’t started laying

My whole flock is in layer crumbles (dumor, 16% protein, 3.8% calcium). Treats (kitchen scraps) offered on the weekend.

Hi guys! I have been struggling with my girls lately. I have a flock of 17, and about 6-8 of them are dealing with feather loss. They are 7 months old, so not molting. I do not have a rooster, so not from that. I have a hunch that it’s self mutilation. I sprayed one with blue kote and then saw...
