    Bird with prolapse Can they live with the flock?

    We have soaked her and then used a gloved finger to slowly push it back in. This was the same as I've done for other birds and had great success. This one will stay in..then come back out overnight. I was feeding her just scratch feed and veggies. She hasn't laid in a few days now.

    Bird with prolapse Can they live with the flock?

    I have a hen that has a prolapse. It looks a million times better than it did weeks ago when we separated her but it will not stay in. We have done a ton of soaks..the whole 9 yards. We have had birds in the past that had prolapses and they were totally fine. The problem that I am running into...

    Prolapse Help

    We have dealt with prolapses in the past, but I’m kind of at a loss on this one. We have done an Epson salt bath multiple times. I don’t think that she is egg bound and last night I had tried to manually push the prolapse back in, and it went back in and she pushed it right back out. Half of her...

    Mites? Lice? How do I treat!

    We have 28 hens and one rooster. Coop/run is rather large. I did attach pictures. For permethrin, what is the recommended route to treat them?

    Mites? Lice? How do I treat!

    Also would certain mites cause certain patterns on the feathers missing and would we be able to see the mites?

    Mites? Lice? How do I treat!

    Ive attached some more pics of the other birds where they are losing feathers. This morning I saw them trying to pluck some feathers as well. I picked up new bedding and permethrin. My concern is that if it's not the right type of mite treatment then we have to swap out hte bedding again. etc...

    Mites? Lice? How do I treat!

    thank you! I was worried it was depluming mites since I can't see them. I know we have red mites in the area because I see them on the concrete near our barn. I am going to try to treat with permethrin then. I am assuming that would take care of everything except the depluming ones?

    Mites? Lice? How do I treat!

    Thank you!!! I am heading out now to do that. They have a dust bath area and I do have DE! For any other treatment I was planning on doing it over the weekend since I have to pick up new hemp bedding and whatever other supplies.

    Mites? Lice? How do I treat!

    Mites/Lice..etc. I am assuming some of my hens have mites since they are losing feathers around thier neck and bottom area. I cannot visibly see them so I am not sure what exactly they are or if they are depluming. I have a few that look pretty bad. At first I thought it was a molt, but I am...
