Hello, I live in Ontario and I am finding it very difficult to find a mite treatment for my hen. She had lice in the past and I had to resort to human lice shampoo, it worked very well (after failed attempts with dog lice treatment). We took in an injured owl, but it had mites and they managed...

I'm no expert, only advice I can think of is to keep the chick warm, under heat if it isn't already. I hope all goes well.

Sorry to hear this :( I think you are making the right decision though, I'm not sure it would be fair for an animal to live such a way for so long.

Anybody?

Hello, My silkie has not laid an egg in over 2 months, and has produced purely LIME green feces (with a veryy strong odor) for about a month and a half. Most of it is slimy guck, there is very little actual substance. It took a few weeks but she is eating and behaving almost normally now...

Hey, I had another thread but it didn't really go anywhere https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/694922/i-cant-figure-out-whats-wrong-with-my-silkie The problem still persists. For over a month my chicken has not laid an egg, has been eating minimal amounts and has pooed almost all water or...

Mitzi seems a bit better now, she is eating and drinking, walking around and clucking once again, her crop is back to normal. however today when I gave her a bath I noticed there's a large hard lump, right before where her vent is. On either side, it feels like an egg however I don't think she...

thank you for the advice, I will pick some up!

Thank you for the response. If it is worms would I be able to see any in her poop? or are they only internal?

Hello, I was just wondering if any of you have an idea what might be wrong with my bird Mitzi? Mitzi has never been very healthy, from the start she has had issues. Shes visually impaired and shes had an impacted crop twice before, and something that appeared to be a cold or virus. She also...

Hey, I know that many of you find house chickens strange, however I was wondering if you could please give me some feedback? I have started a website about indoor chickens and would like some opinions/suggestions on the site itself (although it isn't complete) Thanks! the link is...

Yes I will defiantly need to find a way to trim her hair or pull it back somehow, maybe with a clip. She is a million times better now, no longer sitting hanging her head down, she is standing upright for the first time, has been eating non stop since last night (I have left her placed in-front...

She is for sure blind, I thought about it and it explains everything. She never ate, only drank when I dipped her beak in the water, NEVER moves, has no reaction to movement, if I pick her up and put her down she just lies down and wont walk, she never noticed food I waved in her face, and only...

Some of you may have seen my other post about my new silkie hen, she had a bad case of lice, which has been dealt with. But now she is acting really strange. Ever since I bought her she hasn't really moved, and she hasn't been eating much, only drinking. And I noticed today that even when she...

Yes I think she is ok, it has been hours now and she is showing no il symptoms. I might try that mayo for her second lice treatment
