I would NEVER sell my birds. If I have to get rid of it would unfortunately be a cull.
It’s actually pretty consistent. With the older birds to see these frothy poops.
They were rescues I think the people I got them from dumped sick birds on me. But they are happy and give my eggs and...
So I had a flock of birds I got in March my first birds ever. They were ROUGH! My rooster has had a bubbly wet eye for about 2.5 months. They sneeze on and off and are not to active but they do eat drink and lay well enough.
Problem is I had chicks on order. I’ve had them separated for 10...
This is awesome thank you! I discovered we have a raccoon trying to get in the coop at night I saw paw 🐾 prints this morning! I think this may be stress related but I will try this for sure. I have a rooster also so I have to be careful with the calcium as he already eats the layer crumble. I...
This has been happening on and off as far as I know so far it’s only one hen so far. Can this be from stress? I’m new to chickens and I’ve been off to a rocky start. Any help is or advice is welcome... I do provide free choice oyster shells as well as layer feed.
Yes I treated them twice. I will go out tonight and check for moving lice. I haven’t seen anything active but haven’t checked at night in a while. found all the grossness at the base of the feathers today 🤢🤢🤢 I just need to know if the nits fall off when dead of if they stay
My first two chickens are rescues they were covered in lice a very intense infestation. They were treated with ivermectin and I haven’t seen any reoccuring active lice. I noticed my rooster wasn’t himself. So I looked him over well today and he’s covered in nits!!! This is a brand new coop and...
Yes my rooster is healthy and happy. I’m wondering now if this is mites. He had lice when I got him and treated him with ivermectin. But maybe 🤔 I did check today I didn’t see any but will recheck him tomorrow. Also reading about stick fleas... man these things make my head spin
Just noticed these black spots on my roosters comb they were not here last week. He is not being pecked that I’m aware of he is the only rooster and the hens I have are very docile. I just posted about him concerned that he has a wet eye on the other side... this isn’t freeze comb because this...
This is my rooster he is Salmon Faverolles pure bred. I picked him up as a rescue bird. He’s been in my care almost 2 months. He’s come so far but I’ve noticed lately his eye on the right side looks not right, or the skin under it is wet and the feathers are a bit crusty. It’s been a few weeks...
