    The Joys of Owning Imported Orpingtons

    The Joys of Owning Imported Orpingtons

    He is gorgeous. I have had five roos from time to time. I have not see an ugly one yet. They are huge. Currently, I have one black roo, and seven hens. I do not breed. I would not have a home for the any roos that I might hatch. Have you ever had mites? If so, any success with ridding them?

    I anm freaked out with these gray speck like insects on my hand from going near a hen of mine. What are they, how do I help my flock, and I had her in my cement basement. Do I need to call an exterminator?

    wobbley neck

    I am so worried that I might loose her. Do you think I should bring her inside, maybe a dog crate, to watch her closely. She is an Orpington, I worry she may get too warm?

    wormers

    thank you. I have the diatomaceous earth, I sprinkle/mix a pinch of it in their feed. I have been using organic apple cider vinegar in their water. My birds are orpingtons. Their butt feathers can be poopy, is that normal?
