    Mite problem using Elector PSP

    I showed my husband your guys’ math conversions and we were indeed under dosing. We’ll repeat tomorrow with the correct dosage and hopefully I’ll have a happy update in the near future

    Mite problem using Elector PSP

    My husband and I were going back and forth on if we have northern vs red mites. I’m hoping someone can chime in based on the video but from what we’ve read the northern live on the birds, the red mites live in the coops and attack the birds at night. I didn’t find mites on the birds themselves...

    Mite problem using Elector PSP

    I’ll be honest I’m not a mite expert and this is my first experience with them so I’m not sure which I have. I assumed red mites because my husband came in freaked out after putting them away last week saying he had a bunch of tiny red bugs crawling all over him when a hen flapped her wings...

    Mite problem using Elector PSP

    I have a mite problem. I’ve attached a video showing them on the door to our coop. It lost image image resolution loading it up so hopefully you can see it well enough. We opted to treat with Elector PSP and used 1/4 tsp per 24 oz water. We cleaned the coops and thoroughly sprayed them down...

    Barred Rock too?

    Sorry the title it supposed to say “barred rock roo?” Stupid autocorrect. This is a hatchery chick, about 6 weeks old now. Only got 1 so I have no one to compare it to. Did I get unlucky and pull the rooster from a clutch of baby pullets?

    Swedish Flower Hen Thread

    Hello! I’m crashing in to ask a quick (or not so quick?) question about genetics: DD vs splash. Are they the same? If they’re different, how does DD fit into the BBS picture? I’m reading some thoughts that splash is always white with red but that further confuses me as other breeds splash...

    I have been told he’s a blue based snoleopard but I am not an expert myself.

    Been a while since I posted. I lost all but one of my spring babies. My beautiful roo, blue. Today I picked up a young little hen, also a hatch from last spring. I look forward to some baby flowers in my future!

    Best Automatic Coop Door?

    Is there another code to use? I'm looking to make a purchase and am shopping around for prices. backyard15 didn't work.

    Not yet. I only have 6 and they're currently 7 weeks so they have a lot more changes coming their way as they mature. But here's an example of one of them in 7 short weeks.

    I haven't had much luck finding such a page. I've been photographing my own from hatchlings on up to document the color changes. They really do look like different birds every week.
