    Help 8 yo hen having trouble walking/staggering

    We got the first treatment done yesterday. Got their pen and coop cleaned out and treated yesterday morning and then dusted the chickens after they went to bed. It was way easier to get the treated that way instead of chasing them around the pen. I figure we'll treat at least 2 more times and...

    Help 8 yo hen having trouble walking/staggering

    I planned on treating everybody. I figure if she's got them then they all do. Especially since they all love to sleep practically right on top of each other. My husband is going to help me clean everything out today and treat everybody. We've got a break in the smoke so that will make things...

    Help 8 yo hen having trouble walking/staggering

    She has lice! *shudder* Lice give me the heebie jeebies. Otherwise she feels like she's a good weight and I didn't feel anything weird in her crop. It took a few tries to catch her. She's still pretty spunky. As far as egg laying goes, I'm not sure when she last laid an egg, or if she is even...

    I'll get out in a bit and try and check her out. I've got a sick human child here as well so I still haven't eaten any breakfast. I'll report back anything I find out.

She takes several steps and tips over and puts her wing out to catch herself. Then she takes several more steps, tips over the...

    Different bedding for different seasons/temperatures?

    Newbie question about bedding here. I live in an area that gets really hot and dry in the summer (Regularly hits triple digits. I've seen it hit 116 degrees F here, and the humidity gets down to single digits.) and really cold and snowy/rainy in the winter. (Two winters ago we had no less than...

    These ladies are still laying, though they are not as prolific of layers as they used to be. If I get a few eggs a week I'll be happy. And even then I'm not too concerned. I have no problem running a chicken retirement home. :lol::D My mother-in-law has a really nice incubator so we'll be...

    My name is Jennifer and I live in Washington state, near the Columbia River Gorge. (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I am new to owning chickens, but I have helped my mother-in-law with hers over the years. I will have my first flock in a few weeks. My...
