    Leg Mites? What do I do?

    My chickens have raised scales on their feet and I’m worried about mites. How do I 1. confidently diagnose mites and 2. treat them? The easier the treatment, the better please!

    Is Diatomaceous Earth Safe?

    I’ve seen some sources say that it’s very good for chickens, as it keeps mites out and gives them a dry space to dust bathe, so i figured it would be good to put it everywhere, but i’m seeing some sources say that it can get in their lungs and kill them! which is true? what do i do?

    All 4 chickens died of different causes within 3 years. Are we doing something wrong?

    Hello all, as you may know from my other posts, Pebble has been sick for a long time (though still happy and active for a lot of the day, she’s also suffering a lot). Today we’re putting pebble down at the vet. This morning, something was wrong with our other chicken, olive. We took her to the...

    Putting Pebble Down - I think it’s time??

    The vet recommended we have her euthanized. And when she’s having episodes of panting and gasping, I think it’s the right decision. But when she’s dust bathing happily, I reconsider…

    Hi everyone, thanks for following my ports from the past week or so. Pebble is still enjoying snacking and dust bathing and cuddles from me but she’s panting so hard. I think it’s time to say goodbye to her. I hope I’m making the right choice. I love her so much. I’m not sure because she still...
