    Need advice on moving with my chickens — SoCal to Seattle

    It would probably only work if you had to make a second trip back to CA or someone from your network of friends/family came here with you and drove it back to CA.

    Need advice on moving with my chickens — SoCal to Seattle

    What about a horse trailer rental? Some people/farms rent their trailers out.

    Crazy itchy chick

    Thank you everyone! I decided not to do a necropsy. I honestly believe that multiple factors came together and snowballed into a condition that we couldn’t stop. When it first started she was going through her juvenile molt. Feather dander everywhere! But I thought neurological at that time and...

    Crazy itchy chick

    Baths help some but it’s short lived. I think about how I feel when I have an itch that doesn’t stop. I won’t let it go on but if it’s feather mites and I don’t treat her for that and just put her down that would be awful. I gave her about the size of a lg grain of rice.

    That’s what her vet said too, she’s never seen this before.

    Crazy itchy chick

    The vet checked her all over though not with a microscope. I would think if she had mites so would the others. We moved them into a new coop; 36 foot travel trailer converted so never had birds in it. I don’t think mites are the answer. I put Poultry vitamins in their water and when this...

    The wound is on her neck. She has Neosporin on it, gauze wrapped around it and vet wrap just holding it together.

    It’s all over with an emphasis on head and neck. But she has bruises on her wings and legs too.

    Crazy itchy chick

    It says my file is too big. She’s a Speckled Sussex. We had no problems until 3 weeks ago. She is one of 10 chicks that I got September 14th. All were eating the same food. I suspected it was the Juvenile molt that was causing the itchiness and it could still be I guess but most of the casings...

    Crazy itchy chick

    She has been eating chick starter. I just gave her the canned cat food last night in case it might be a food allergy. At this point I am willing to try almost anything. No parasites she has seen the doctor and been checked out for that as well. I tried to upload a video but my Internet wasn’t...

    Crazy itchy chick

    I have a 3 month old Speckled Sussex. Snow started acting like she was having seizures about 3 weeks ago. I took her to the vet after carrying her everywhere and sleeping with her on my chest for 3 days. Dr watched her and said that though she had never seen it before, it wasn’t seizures she was...
