    Severe Mites AND Fowl Pox??

    It still doesn’t have any odor, but it certainly looks nasty. Maybe she should try treating with the metro? My mom said she was acting more normal yesterday, she came out to forage with the rest and she was trying really hard to eat, but couldn’t. Today she was still trying to eat, but much...

    Severe Mites AND Fowl Pox??

    My mom took some more pictures after the lesion came off today. It looks like there are more lesions in her beak underneath. She’s been trying to eat and drink but just can’t seem to get anything in there. She’s much weaker today, she always roosts on the top roost and my mom said she couldn’t...

    Severe Mites AND Fowl Pox??

    Oh no, sorry, I meant like 10 doses (3/day). Today is day 5, so tonight will be her last dose. She seems a little better, but the worst thing is that lesion in her beak. She seems interested in food now and pecks at it, but she can't seem to get anything in her beak. She did eat some turkey we...

    Severe Mites AND Fowl Pox??

    Oh okay, yeah! That makes sense. I was paranoid about messing up meds haha. Thank you for your help! They’re definitely better, I’m seeing fewer now. I think she’s just really weak since they’ve taken over. I checked the other birds and they’re not really affected. I did spray down the coop a...

    Severe Mites AND Fowl Pox??

    Yeah! It's here! It sounded like they had a less severe case, though, and maybe weren't sure if it was mites or lice. They're definitely still on her, poor thing. I did dust her with Permethrin tonight and tried to work it into the feathers most affected. I could be wrong, but I think I saw...

    Severe Mites AND Fowl Pox??

    @Wyorp Rock I was thinking of doing a diluted Permethrin dip for her, as well, but on researching it I found an old thread where you'd advised against doing that in addition to the ivermectin, so should I just let that do its job? Should I also not use the powder on her since I did the ivomec? I...

    Severe Mites AND Fowl Pox??

    @Banana01 Yeah, they're pretty bad, but she's definitely got something else going on, too. I've never dealt with either before now, but their bodies look like mites to me. We did treat her and the others with Permethrin dust a while ago. It got rid of them on the others, but hers persisted. I...

    Severe Mites AND Fowl Pox??

    The sore on the side of her mouth looks like it burst, it's bloody, so I'm guessing she scratched it. I put a little betadine on the external part of the sore and rinsed her eye with saline. I have her locked in the coop by herself, the rest are in the run. She looks like she really doesn't feel...

    Severe Mites AND Fowl Pox??

    Okay, so I've got injectable Tylan 50 that I’ll probably dose her orally since I’m seeing they need it multiple times/day and I don’t want to stick her so often. I’ll do the ivermectin pour-on tomorrow and keep updating! I also picked up Sav-a-Chick stuff and Nutridrench, so I’ll give her that...

    Severe Mites AND Fowl Pox??

    Thank you! I think I'm gonna head to the farm supply and pick up some Tylosin, ivermectin pour-on, and Poultry Cell. I'll see if I can get a tube-feeding apparatus, but if I can't is it okay to continue the baby food?

    Severe Mites AND Fowl Pox??

    Thank you all for your help! I really appreciate it. @Ursuline Chick Unfortunately our chicken vet is out of town until February, but we do have his email. It sounds like iron would be good for her, but I don't know where to start with that for chickens. We have been feeding her baby food with...

    Severe Mites AND Fowl Pox??

    Hello! I have a 9-year-old hen with a severe mite infestation (Northern Fowl Mite I think) but I think she also has Fowl Pox... yikes. We treated the entire flock for mites this past summer and all but hers cleared up quickly. We did some follow-up Permethrin powder treatments. She seemed okay...

    Lash Egg- Oviduct Infection

    Sorry it’s been a minute! About 4 months have passed since Baby laid the “lash egg” monstrosity. After 2 rounds of antibiotics, she’s been hanging on. Now, we’re pretty sure she started laying in the last few weeks. I think the eggs are hers. I’m pretty surprised, I honestly thought we’d have...
