    I think my chicken has lice!!

    We just checked the rest of our flock and found out that almost all of them are covered in bugs and eggs. We found that a couple of them had eggs all caked up in the feathers underneath their beak and did our best to pull out those feathers to keep the eggs from hatching on the birds. Is the...

    I think my chicken has lice!!

    I picked up my baby Polish the other day and a whole bunch of bugs jumped off of her. I gave her a bath and there are still a lot of them left between her shoulder blades plus whatever I can't see. A couple people told me they were probably lice. What should I do to get rid of them?!

    Scissor Beak and hand feeding

    I'd like to start hand feeding too for my sweet little girl. I feed everyone else pellets. Would a small or large pellet work best when she tries to peck for her own food? I'm still fairly new at caring for my chickie babes. This is my first scissor beak gal.

    LISTLESS Rooster

    Quote: We've just checked for parasites on him and a few of our other girls(4 are new to our flock) - nothing. What is worming? He did just eat a small amount of a protein packed home baked bran muffin.
