    Rooster can’t stand on legs

    There is no swelling or bruising anywhere. He eats what the hens eat, F-R-M layer feed. Can’t feed him separately. I’ll attach the analysis. They get a couple handfuls of scratch between the 8 of them when it’s time to go back in the coop in the evenings. They do free range every afternoon. I...

    Rooster can’t stand on legs

    I have searched and read many posts here and I apologize for yet another on the subject but I’m at a loss. My young rooster cannot stand up. He is otherwise alert and acts normal. If I pinch a foot he can draw it back but his toes stay curled. He is eating, drinking & eliminating normally. His...

    Thanks, I relayed the info posted by TPC. It just seemed like an “old granny concoction” to me so that’s why I asked y’all.

    This post was moved to Predators & Pests. Not sure why. All other questions about dewormers are in the same place I posted (see photo). This isn’t about any predators or others pest/critters bothering my flock.

    I found the same. I searched on here and other places & found nothing. That’s why I questioned it.

    It’s what the feed store has & a friend got it. I haven’t seen any worms in my flock but wondered if i need to do anything as a precaution. Last time we had chickens here, they were free range & We never dewormed them. Now I have 10 hens who are in the coop at night and free range for 5-8...

    Has anyone used this as a dewormer? Does it work? Should you eat eggs if hens are treated with it?

    Ulcers/sores around vent (photo)

    I got this hen from someone & she’s always having health issues. Now she is limping & it’s bumblefoot. After her soak, I was cleaning her poopy rear end & saw her vent. She had lice when she first arrived but we’ve gotten rid of those. Any thoughts on what’s causing these sores? (Photo...

    Is this lice?

    What about hens eggs during these 3 weeks? Will they absorb the permethrin? Should I toss them?

    Is this lice?

    I was able to catch & examine 3 of my other hens and I did see a few lice. None of the nits on shafts but I’m sure they’re there. I will definitely treat all 6 hens. And I’ve learned a lesson on taking in chickens!
