    Scaly Leg Mites?

    I have one girl is is acting off and both her legs have the raised scale look that they get. I also have a couple of others girls that are showing a few raised scales on their legs.

    Scaly Leg Mites?

    I'm pretty sure some of my chickens have SLM and I need to treat, the problem is it's been really cold and we are heading into another one. It's to cold to wash and dip them and I don't have anywhere warm I can bring them into. My barn doesn't have electric or heat. Taking them into my house is...

    Rooster pecking hen

    I actually had this happen to me as well recently. To the point the bullied hen had a swollen eye and a bloody head. I separated her from everyone else but he started after another hen so he has been removed from my flock. Sadly the original chicken is still being picked on by one hen in her...

    Mites! Everywhere!

    Mites are a major problem for me. I've been treating with Elector PSP every 10-14 days. I've cleaned it out 3 times now. Completely cleaning the coops, I have 3 and they are all infested and spraying the chickens. 9mls per gallon of water. I am officially at a loss. I've been afraid to use...

    Adding a hen to group of chicks?

    Thank you all for your responses. My apologies for just now getting back to respond. Some things happened that caused me to not be back on. Once I got back from vacation I built a temp wall with chicken wire and put her down there at roost time. She was doing fine the next day just not happy...

    Adding a hen to group of chicks?

    That’s what I’m afraid of. She hasn’t been around them at all. I’m gone on vacation till next week so I’ll have to wait till I get home and I’ll see about setting up a pen in their run for her so they can start getting used to each other.

    Adding a hen to group of chicks?

    I just lost 1 of my laying hens and I have 1 laying hen left by herself. Can I add her to my coop with 6 12 week chickens? I hate for her to be by herself.

    Crop issue, injury or both

    It was still there the next morning but I got her to eat some coconut oil and massaged it a bit and by evening it was gone. She's been fine over the last few days though I'm continuing to keep an eye on her.

    Crop issue, injury or both

    Checked the wound it for sure is just a peck wound. Already scabbed over I guess they just got her good and it bleed a bit. Now I just got to get the swelling down. I've got her in a dog pen in the coop/run with water and no food. She's pretty mad at me about it. She's acting fine other then the...

    Crop issue, injury or both

    Yes it’s blood. I looked through the feathers and couldn’t find anything major. Thinking she got pecked due to the swelling. I’ll try cleaning up the blood and see if there’s anything I’m missing.

    Crop issue, injury or both

    Near the top of the swelling feels hard but the rest feels soft. Shes drinking and acting fine and is mad that I won't let her out of the crate to eat. I'll try trimming the feathers and see if I can get a better look. Not sure how a predator would have gotten to her but it's possible. If it's...

    Hello! Glad to be here

    I'm a fairly new chicken owner near Tulsa Ok. I have 14 chickens currently. Mostly Reds, not sure if they are all RIR or different but also an Easter egger, barred rock, lavender orphington and lace Wyandotte. I added chickens about 6 months ago. I started with 4 hens and recently I went to add...
