Now that my rooster has a full grown comb, which is quite large he doesn’t like to stick his head in the rent a coop feeder with the holes. Is this a normal behavior? I like these feeders because it’s covered and holds a lot of feed.
I treated my small flock with elector psp 2 weeks ago for lice but some still have grey eggs attached to their vent feathers. Do I need to treat again? Are these going to hatch and start all over again? The coop was cleaned and sprayed as well.
I noticed lice eggs and messy rears on some of my hens. I treated them all with elector psp twice. Coops was deep cleaned and treated. She still has the eggs after 2 weeks? Little grey looking sacks? What can I do. Are they going to hatch?
A few of my hens have messy butts and then looking closer I noticed little grey eggs stuck to feathers, which I found online are lice eggs?? Only one hen has them. Assuming I should treat them all? A few are missing neck feathers too Do I also need to get rid of bedding and spray down the coop...
My flock is all on non-medicated chick feed due to two baby chicks hatching. Could this be a reason that a few hens seem to have poopy butts? I’m tired of washing chickens butts. Should I try a probiotic?
