Yep! They will run back under fluff when exposed. Its difficult to get photos but i managed to snap a few good ones.
I suspect they have scaley leg mites as well... and i have no money nor am i getting payed for this but im trying my best
I had checked them a month before and couldnt reach them again till now. I can follow up but as of right now its hard for me to find transportation.
I have and will use neosporin.
I havent done much yet just soaked a few in epsom/dawn dish
Then blowdried with stress breaks.
:hit In about 2 hours i will be helping a friend with a large hen flock infested with lice, mites, overgrown hen spurs, bumblefoot, and overall animal neglect.
As this was short notice i do not have most material access!!
I am a teen not a pro!! although ive researched and owned chickens...
I love the easy cleaning feature. The heavy wooden coops sold in farm stores are cheaply made. The rough wooden surface or easily scratched plastic absorbs moisture and harbors bacteria and dust.
Diatomaceous earth and excrement also sticks to the boards. I love the removable trays and ability...
As long as its definitely color and not dirt most likely then you have a partridge/black mix. Youll likely get more partridge or loose the partridge through molts
Im on good terms with her daughter whos a similar age to me
Although she can do very minimal things for the chickens, i will be supplying the tools and care.
There is no compensation, due to the mom not caring wether or not theyre sick. I did get some free pop though 😅
Definitely a learning...
Yes, unfortunately. She originally apparently planned to kill and eat the new chickens she introduced. She clearly has done zero research due to her not understanding that older chickens yield worse meat in taste and supply and lay less eggs.
