    Favus or Thrush?

    Thanks I’d been wondering this. I hadn’t caught the scaly leg mite which may have migrated to her face and the blue eye? Maybe a red herring? I keep expecting her to fall ill but as her legs And face improve So does her general disposition.

    Favus or Thrush?

    More than amazing to be able to share worries and anxieties about chicken keeping. They really are more to take care of if than I imagined. My hen has started laying again! She’s partially bald but the skin looks ok. Her legs are improving. She’s active and noisy and eats voraciously. Could she...

    Thank you. I didn’t euthanise her as she was and still is active and eating. Feathers all returned. Scaly leg mite that might have moved to her face.

    No. They can be treated. Ivermectin and you can Vaseline their legs to suffocate the mites.

    Mareks

    Started with an early moult, treatment for parasites-dust, spray, drops, wormer in water. After a particular spray she seemed to worsen, she seemed traumatised. Her skin turned yellow from the spray. Bumps on her feather follicles, turned black. They seemed like egg clusters but I read of...

    Hawk injury: Will she heal if kept infection free?

    Personally I’d keep her in and separated longer as the others may be interested in her wound?

    It’s Vaseline on her neck that is been rubbing into the skin. The comb also as it was dry.

    Favus or Thrush?

    Yes it does look like the ocular form of mareks thank you. She’s had one blue eye since I bought her a year ago. Thank you, I think the head and neck thing could have been mites even though I never saw any because she had scaly leg mite. So when her comb seemed larger I thought she was in the...

    Favus or Thrush?

    The Algarve in Portugal so it’s not freezing although the temperature just dropped and it’s very windy. It can’t be frostbite but could it be cold as she has no feathers on her head?
